I just about got MAMWAH setup properly and have now built some filtered lists (that WIKI is GREAT! Thanks guys!) I was attempting to setup my Virtual _Pinaball and have created the .ini and using the wrapper from Lazarus. When I'm in MAMWAH, it lets me select V_Pinball, and shows me my list of Tables, but when I select a table and hit the Player-1, it attempts to launch, then the screen goes completely Black and it's difficult to exit out of. Any suggestions? Also, is there a way to get screen shots of the tables (like the MAME games?) I'm running: MAME v0.104 MAMEWAH v1.6.1 V_Pinball v1.0.0.3 (is there any easy way to upgrade MAMEWAH?? |

You may need to experiment with the variations of dosbox and safelaunch within the pinball.ini file (or whatever it may be called) of mamewah. I think there may be a thread somewhere that lists my mamewah ini file for VP. I'm not aware of somewhere where you can download a pack containing screenshots of the tables, but you could download them individually from http://www.vpforums.com/vptables as they have screenshots of the tables they host. Otherwise you might need to create your own... |

Well, I changed "dosbox" (I need to learn what that is). no luck. I also read in some other topics to set all of the values to 0, tht helped, I now get the "say no to drugs screen" but it hangs there and it is VERY hard to get out of it. I also loaded some screen shots to a dedicated folder and idetified it in the path, but no luck there either. further suggestions, please. here's my ini: ### V_Pinball.ini (mamewah v1.61) ### emulator_title Visual Pinball ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path K:\Pinball\Tables rom_extension vpt dat_file nms_file catver_ini_file list_generation_method rom_folder ### Execution Settings ### emulator_executable K:\Pinball\Tables\vp-launch4.exe commandline_format [name]{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch} alt_commandline_format_1 [name] alt_commandline_format_2 [name] game_specific_config_path ### Artwork Locations ### artwork_1_image_path K:\Pinball\Tables artwork_2_image_path K:\Pinball\Tables Screenshot artwork_3_image_path artwork_4_image_path artwork_5_image_path artwork_6_image_path artwork_7_image_path artwork_8_image_path artwork_9_image_path artwork_10_image_path movie_preview_path movie_artwork_no 0 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 0 saver_type slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 0 quit_delay 30 wrapper_executable wrapper_commandline_format [name] scr_file ### External Application Settings ### ipc_file_or_path app_1_executable app_1_commandline_format app_2_executable app_2_commandline_format app_3_executable app_3_commandline_format auto_launch_apps ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path lcd_fe_text ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 0 |

Okay, here's my ini file which works for me: --- Code: ---### x_vpinball.ini (mamewah v1.61) ### emulator_title Visual Pinball ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path C:\Pinball\tables rom_extension vpt dat_file nms_file catver_ini_file list_generation_method rom_folder ### Execution Settings ### emulator_executable C:\Pinball\tables\vp-launch4.exe commandline_format [name]{nodosbox}{nosafelaunch}{cursor} alt_commandline_format_1 [name] alt_commandline_format_2 [name] game_specific_config_path ### Artwork Locations ### artwork_1_image_path c:\pinballscreen artwork_2_image_path c:\pinballflyers artwork_3_image_path artwork_4_image_path artwork_5_image_path artwork_6_image_path artwork_7_image_path artwork_8_image_path artwork_9_image_path artwork_10_image_path movie_preview_path movie_artwork_no 1 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 0 saver_type slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 1 quit_delay 30 wrapper_executable wrapper_commandline_format [name] scr_file ### External Application Settings ### ipc_file_or_path app_1_executable app_1_commandline_format app_2_executable app_2_commandline_format app_3_executable app_3_commandline_format auto_launch_apps ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path lcd_fe_text ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 0 --- End code --- When I first tried I thought it may have been hanging as well. I timed a couple of tables loading times just through VP and then tried them using the wrapper as some tables take a while to load everything. With the screenshots, are they named the same as the .vpt table file? If not, they won't be displayed in Mamewah. |

I uploaded 1386 screenshots for Visual Pinball tables to the ScreenshotArchive site: http://localarcade.com/screenshotarchive/ Just download them and use them ....... |
