| Visual Pinball 8 - More 'cabinet friendly'? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| farmecologist:
Hi all, I was poking around the vpforums site and saw that a Visual Pinball 8 beta has been released: http://www.vpforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41062 To quote the message: --- Quote ---Additionally, I have improved the 'play only' scenario (/play -tablename) so that when you double-click a table file, the editor does not display at all, and when you exit the player, it exits to windows, not the editor. One question: For those people who write front-ends to VP, is there any desired behavior from this mode than to just be able to pass a close-window message to the VP player and have the process exit? --- End quote --- It seems like this might make life easier for cabinet use. I'll try it out soon and report back. |

There have been front ends that could mostly do that for a while. I almost never enter the editor. |

I know..However, I was never able to get the 'wrappers' to work reliably with mamewah. I know quite a few others have had the same problem. In my opinion it is always better to have the program exit cleanly rather than have a 'wrapper' program running. |
| ChadTower:
It definitely wasn't purely cab friendly. OTOH, they may not want it to be... no one wants to get legally slapped around the way MAME has been. |

Oh how I wish SOMEONE would write a VERTICAL pinball emulator...it only sounds NATURAL that this would be done, but evidently not. |
