Vpinmame and Gamelauncher
« on: July 17, 2002, 12:46:09 pm »
Has anyone gotten vpinmame running through gamelaucher? I think the command should be something like this -

c:\[vpdir]\vpinball.exe -play -[tablename].vpt

but I havent been able to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
James

That almost worked! Gamelauncher loads visual pinball but vpinball gives me error that says: "Error: Unable to load file"

any ideas?

Thanks
James

ok this is how i launch it:
:\[vpdir]\vpinball.exe /play -"[complete tabledir][tablename].vpt"
notice /play instead of -play

also i set the working dir to [complete tabledir]

I've also noticed an odd thing about vp.  Right click on a table in windows and click play.  Make sure it doesn't ask to to install components.  If it does you can just point it to your install exe.
