vp-launch4 problem and question

Ive found that if you individually open the ones you want to play in windows outside of mamewah and click on "yes" to do you originally own.. blah blah blah.. then you should never get that prompt again along with the region codes.. so basically do that to all the ones in windows and then they should run fine. I think it somehow logs that info and shouldn't re-ask you so it wont effect the wrapper.

The wrapper handles those prompts, you aren't listening.  He's talking about region codes, which are NOT pinmame settings, they are settings of an individual visual pinball table.  And no, many of the tables that prompt you for info (there aren't many of these tables) prompt you every time and don't store the info.  What comes to my mind are those tables that ask you which romset you wish to use.  They ask you every time the table is launched.  The only way to fix it is to go into the table's script and change the code, but that is a very tricky thing for a non-programmer to do, which is why I didn't mention it.

Thanks Howard.

I had the same problem with your wrapper.

I read this thread and remembered the association issues with VP.

I guess you need to head bang a bit before the paradigm rears its little head!

Everything works perfect now, except the winners don't do drugs disclaimer. 

Looks like I got away without seeing that!!

Yeah I typically don't like to place the blame on an application when a wrapper doesn't work but in the case of vp it's very true.  It is a very stubborn program to launch and get it working properly (mainly due to the bothersome expirations) and more often than not when a wrapper, any wrapper (not just mine) doesn't work with vp it is because vp is acting up.

How did you get the "winners don't do drugs" disclaimer to NOT launch?

Howard says it's built into his wrapper, but if there's a work-around, I'd like to try it.

Thanks.
