I've searched and asked on the Future Pinball sight, but haven't gotten an answer yet. I've setup FuturePinball to launch from MAMEWAH and it does, but when it comes up I have to hit Alt-Tab to get focus. I'm running this on a cab and wanted it to load directly in (like Visual Pinball). Is that possible? Any suggestions, please. here's part of my Future_Pinball.ini file (MAMEWAH 1.61): ### Execution Settings ### emulator_executable H:\Visual 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 Also, is there a way to map ESC to the CP buttons? btw, FP is awesome!! If you haven't tried it yet, I really enjoy it. The Hungry Dead is my current favorite (the theme music is addictive!) and for something quirky, try Crazy Frog. Pool Champ is a bit more serious. And just for fun, try Killer Klowns from Outer Space!! :cheers: |

You have posted it in the wiki forum to. You cant launch exe file directly, because the window/focus problem in Future Pinball. I have posted the link in your other thread. For the esc key: Use autohotkey (http:www.autohotkey.com). it can remap any keys, and works in most games, but not all. |

I'm not trying to shotgun, but my other post was in reference to the Wiki Wrapper section, which as I now see references Future Pinball (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Pinball but does not contain a wrapper, or how to launch from MAMEWAH. Can someone traslate this into MAMEWAH syntax? c:\ CD c:\Games\Future Pinball\ start poswindow.ahk "Future Pinball.exe" /open %1 /play /exit It also doesn't resolve the ESC key issue. I'm not familiar with authohotkey, but I guess I'll give it a try. Does anyone have an example? I'm not trying to be lazy, but I worked almost 70 hours last week and off and on all weekend installing a huge Project at work, and the brain is not firing on all cylinders. I appreciate the help, but I need a little more clarity! And again, THANKS for the help! You guys are GREAT! |

Hey, the new version 1.5.2 seen to fixed all focus issues, so a wrapper is not needed anymore! I update the wiki about it. I recommed you to download the newest version first. It may hang in few seconds in MAMEWAH, before the loading game appaer, but it DOES works. Here is the mamewah ini I used on my cabinet: emulator_executable D:\Games\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe commandline_format /open "D:\Games\Future Pinball\tables\[name].fpt" {nodosbox}{safelaunch} /play /exit alt_commandline_format_1 [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch} alt_commandline_format_2 [name]{autodosbox}{nosafelaunch} game_specific_config_path You should of course change D:\Games\Future Pinball into your path and put all tables in the tables folder. |

SORRY, as I said, I was tired and it was late. (I inadvertantly posted my Visual Pinball settings). Here is my Future Pinball: ### Execution Settings ### emulator_executable H:\Future Pinball\Future pinball.exe commandline_format /open "[rompath]\[name].[romext]" /play /exit{nodosbox}{safelaunch} alt_commandline_format_1 [name] alt_commandline_format_2 [name] game_specific_config_path This does work, BUT when it launches I don't have focus and have to monkey with the keyboard. (Alt-Tab) I also tried your settings SF/D and got the same results. Am I doing something wrong? btw, I have been using the new Future-Pinball for a couple weeks. |
