I have vpinmame 1.51 and vp-launch4 working great. Now i tried to get them working with my FE game launch. What is wierd is if it is in debug mode it works perfectly. Once i put it back to nodebug what happens is the screen stays blacvk and vpinmame score board is the only thing that shows? i can hit the joystick and buttons to hear the plunger,flippers,etc but they are not visual . Even if i try to alt tab to create focus it stays black. I'm at a loss here not sure if there is anything else I can try to get this thing to work. What is so special about game launchers debug mode that causes it to work? maybe finding this out will give me the info i need.Any tips will be appreciated

You ARE having a focus problem.
Because the debug mode shows the dos window, it some how does not mess up the focus. I believe the black screen is left over from GL.
I have a wrapper that I wrote using AutoIt that gets around these problems. If you are interested I could send it to you later. I don't have a copy here at work.
You might also try Howard Castro VP Wrapper. There was some reason that it did not fulfill all my VP needs at the time, I just don't remember what it is.
