Title: Visual Pinball
Post by: battlecat on September 01, 2011, 09:54:55 am: Hello out there!

I am sure this has been addressed a few dozen times and yet nothing has really worked for me.

I am trying to setup Visual Pinball 9.?.? in Mala.

I have tested my Visual Pinball by opening the table editor and clicking F5 to get the table to play. No problems. In fact I often only get this far because I just start playing the game.

When I try to use MALA I have tried several forum posts and Uncle T's outdated instructions with no luck.

So does someone have a good set of instructions to launch Visual Pinball and Exit each VP table back into MALA?

Thanks for your time!

Over here, that doesn't work for VP9. I have the following: -play -"%path%\%rom%.
