Visual Pinball - a couple of questions
monkey puzzle:
I've just installed Visual pinball in my cab (8.1). I have a couple of problems I cant find the answer to.
1/ When I launch vp (from Mala) the mouse pointer is visible in the centre of the screen. Is this normal, and is there an easy way to stop this?
2/ With some of the older tables I can add credits and operate flippers, but when I press start the ball does not appear.
3/ When you launch some of the tables (such as Adams Family) a window pops up allowing you to select country etc. Is there a way to stop this popping up every time?

Some older tables have a separate button to raise the ball into the chute.

I'll be you went to the "official" visual pinball website right? That thing has been dead for years. The most current version of vp is 9.12. The difference between 8 and 9 and the tables made in 8 and 9 is like night and day. All of the problems you just mentioned will go away if you upgrade to 9. The vp 9 megapins, for example, have a checkbox that you can click to quit asking you which rom to use. ;)
Go to vpforums.org and get setup there.
As for the mouse pointer, my wrapper or any of the vp wrappers/launchers will take care of that, but once you press a key it goes away anyway.

2/ Solved - Thanks BobA :applaud:
3/ Solved - I just realised that there is a tick box to "Hide menu on startup". Doh.
1/ The mouse pointer does dissapear when you press any button. I guess I can live with this is there is no easy fix.
