Ond, you are the MAN! :applaud:
I will try this as soon as possible! Edit: Tried that but I get an error telling me there is no such path.. ?
By the way I`m trying to get my bezel fixed today by masking with tape then spraypaint the edges.. Have any tip for me? I am not very pleased with my results.. The edges are fuzzy/cracking and the spraypaint is no good... :cry:

Hazzard, the quick launch shortcut Ond posted does work. The correct path should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Pro Pinball\Timeshock!\Timeshock!.exe" \q copy and paste this in the shortcuts taget path box and it should work.
BTW, awesome cabinet design. I've been thinking of making a small dedicated pinball cabinet like this for sometime. Your great work here just motivated me to start build a cabinet similar to yours as soon as time allows.
Ond, thanks for the quick launch tip! :) Great artwork BTW!
Ond:
It looks like G@M3FR3@K has the quick launch sorted out, the only thing I’d check is the use of \q I could be wrong but switch commands are usually forward slash i.e. /q either way if it works it's all good.
I think your bezel is actually glass? Are you trying to mask a thin border with tape and then spray paint that with black spray can paint? Here are my thoughts (other people may have a better suggestion). The fuzzy edges you are getting could be because you are using masking tape - the paper based kind. The solvent in the paint will leach under the edge of the tape and cause the 'fuzzy' look. IF you are using GLASS, clean the old paint off with paint thinner or Acetone, if its plastic based any solvent will probably react with the plastic and that's another problem. The best way to avoid a fuzzy edge is use something like packing tape to mask with (the brown plastic stuff used for taping cardboard boxes together). On glass that tape will provide high adhesion and a very straight edge. I'd use fast drying automotive touch up paint. If you spray only a fine mist in several layers that dry quickly it shouldn't crack. When dry, peel off packing tape slowly.

Hey all!
It`s now half past four in the morning and I am about to go to bed after a very fun birthdayparty :cheers:
Just wanted to say hi and express my gratitude to those who have helped me on my way to build my pinball-arcade! Especially Ond whos been helping me with the artwork :applaud:
Damn... Just when I thought i couldnt get any more drunk it happens... Could it be that last drink kicki`n in? haahah :blah:
Oh yes, the pinball arcade was a huge success at the party, people where amazed at how good it looked and how fun it was to play :) I`l post a video of it soon.
Played my final round of Timeshock! 10 min ago ;D
I`l try the gamelaunch options in the morning, hopeflly it will work now. And yes, Ond I used a packing like tape, not the paper based kind.. But still I guess the paint I`m using is not good enough because it gets really crisp and cracks easy. Oh well :banghead:
Hazzard:
Quick launch works! :)
