Visual Pinball
« on: September 01, 2011, 09:54:55 am »
Hello out there!

I am sure this has been addressed a few dozen times and yet nothing has really worked for me.

I am trying to setup Visual Pinball 9.?.? in Mala.

I have tested my Visual Pinball by opening the table editor and clicking F5 to get the table to play. No problems. In fact I often only get this far because I just start playing the game.

When I try to use MALA I have tried several forum posts and Uncle T's outdated instructions with no luck.

So does someone have a good set of instructions to launch Visual Pinball and Exit each VP table back into MALA?

Thanks for your time!

the answer is in uncle ts doc. I just did it last week. Its all about the command line./open "%path%\%rom%.%ext%" /play /exit. It is there in presets for future pinball.

I'd also try to launch visual pinball directly from command line first.  That way you know what it expects and can set up MaLa accordingly.

Over here, that doesn't work for VP9.  I have the following: -play -"%path%\%rom%.
