I'm having a problem loading anything in VPLaunch or the command line wrapper. The screen goes blank and doesn't let me do anything. I have tried everything, I've searched message boards everywhere and google many times, but found no good answers yet. I'm hoping I find the golden egg here :) I've tried manually also, in VPLaunch2.exe there's a menu that pops up and displays my tables, if I double click on the table it should load it up, right? The screen just goes black and I can't do anything. I dunno. I think they were made by Howard Castro, but I'm not sure, there was no documentation. If someone could help me, then thanx ;D |

ok, on the VPLaunch front: I've found someone else who has the same problem: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=36264&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&vc=1 I reinstalled Visual Pinball and VPinMAME I updated to the current DirectX no go on either....but.... Command Line Launcher: I'm trying to get it to work with Handy (Atari Lynx Emulator) and when I use it normally, it does the same thing as VPLaunch, just goes to a black screen. But I found that if I click the mouse then hit escape I can go back to where I was. Also, if I wait long enough I can hear the music for the rom that I was attempting to load...so further "hacking" found this option in lconfig file: "LAUNCHSTYLE=0" I switched it to "1" and it loads up...not correctly, though, in a window, with a black screen behind it that if I click on it then hit escape I go back. So the problem must lie in the "layering" of programs? I have no clue, someone help!! :P ??? :o :-\ :'( :-X :-[ |

Try these settings for VP. They work for me first time ;D Set emulator EXE to vp-launch2.exe Set 'List generation method' to 'ROM Folder Only' Set the ROM Folder to your tables folder in Visual Pinball Set ROM extension to VPT Show DOS box = False Send ROM path = False Use Long filename = False Send ROM Extension = False Ths should work. |

Look at the app bonanza thread.... try the new one, it may help. Normally I'd troubleshoot for you, but to be honest I'm extremely busy atm. Sorry. :( |

ok I've tried the new VPLaunch, it now opens the table fully, but it doesn't let me escape. (without hitting quit) when i do hit quit it brings me to a black screen where if I hit escape it'll bring me back to where i was. I still think it has something to do with the "layering" of programs... I thought I might've had a good idea, I thought the taskbar is set for "always on top" I disabled that hoping that was it, but it didn't do anything :( Oh, BTW I'm using Win98...I don't know if I mentioned that before. what's everyone else using? Win2k? XP? maybe that's it.... if someone has any info, please help me ??? |
