Visual Pinball Wrapper Problem - Howard?
<< < (3/5) > >>
Anubis_au:
Will be looking at this with interest also. I had a similar thread a while back, trying to get pinmame going smoothly with MaLa, but couldn't get it going and put it on the backburner. Now, will try again with these suggestions.

Cadis, did you get howard's wrapper to go or did you stick with closemul?

SGT / shock, are there similar wrappers / command line settings for future pinball as well?

Doesn't appear as though Future Pinball needs a wrapper.  Here's what worked for me:

While in Future Pinball, change the video settings to full screen and the desired screen resolution. 
Mala Settings:

Executable
C:\emulators\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe

Rom Path
C:\emulators\Future Pinball\Tables

Rom extensions:
fpt

Commandline:
/open "%path%\%rom%.%ext%" /play /exit

No, I tried the closemul program, worked like a charm and didn't try the wrapper.  The only problem with the closemul program is that when it launches the pinball program you can see MS Windows environment for a brief few seconds. 

I might try the wrapper today or tomorrow if I get time.

I'm not seeing this.  What are you seeing, the desktop and the taskbar?
shock_:
closemul doesn't attempt to hide windows afaik - while the wrappers do, to some levels of success. 

In MaLa I have my window state set to hidden, so all I see is the taskbar, the "loading from cache"/"rendering" dialog from VP and the terrifically ugly VPinMAME splash screens.  Which is, admittedly, quite a lot of guff to see - but the tables work so I won't complain.
