Rom Path = C:\arcade\Emulators\Future Pinball\Tables
Rom extension = fpt
Command line =   /open "%path%\%rom%.%ext%" /play /exit

OK sooo... I tried this and it DOES work BUT focus is not on Future Pinball... I need ot reach for my mouse, click, and THEN I can use my arcade buttons (I-PAC 2 keyboard encoder)

I will try this wrapper (from the wiki)

Hi,

I have a plugnplay module that runs future pinball.  I guess you can have a look how it works and adapt the configuration to mala.

After some research i found out this focus problem is future pinball not mala. it also effects visual pinball wich will suffer the same effect. the fix for visual pinball is to right click the visual pinball exe and change the compatibility mode to windows 2000. this does work and i have no idea why. where i read the fix never explained why. i have not tested this fix on future pinball though as the focus problem seemed to go away for me as of late.
ARTIFACT:
Arg... I hope to find a solution for this

I found the wrapper (linked above, from the Wiki) but the instructions are crazy... You have to rename the table files (!?) and some other things... Mhhh. Plus it looks like it's for Mamewah frontend, not sure if it would even help with MaLa + Future Pinball...

If anyone has ideas here, please post.

To recap:

Mala launches Future Pinball > FP loads > FP has no focus > forced to use the mouse to click on FP to give focus > works fine and even exits to Mala menu (NOT cab friendly!)
Space Fractal:
Yep, it was made using MAMEWAH as FE, when I wrote that little wrapper.

MaLa might send the extra extension, which it shoud NOT to do that. Hince it might have tried to run  Sci-Fi Classic.fpt.fpt instead of  Sci-Fi Classic.fpt. This because the wrapper It add the extension itself. I should look on that, so it remove the double extension itself.

Im looking into that now.
