Mamewah and V_Pinball
MPTech:
I just about got MAMWAH setup properly and have now built some filtered lists (that WIKI is GREAT! Thanks guys!)
I was attempting to setup my Virtual _Pinaball and have created the .ini and using the wrapper from Lazarus. When I'm in MAMWAH, it lets me select V_Pinball, and shows me my list of Tables, but when I select a table and hit the Player-1, it attempts to launch, then the screen goes completely Black and it's difficult to exit out of.
Any suggestions?
Also, is there a way to get screen shots of the tables (like the MAME games?)
I'm running:
MAME v0.104
MAMEWAH v1.6.1
V_Pinball v1.0.0.3
(is there any easy way to upgrade MAMEWAH??

You may need to experiment with the variations of dosbox and safelaunch within the pinball.ini file (or whatever it may be called) of mamewah. I think there may be a thread somewhere that lists my mamewah ini file for VP.
I'm not aware of somewhere where you can download a pack containing screenshots of the tables, but you could download them individually from http://www.vpforums.com/vptables as they have screenshots of the tables they host. Otherwise you might need to create your own...

Well, I changed "dosbox" (I need to learn what that is). no luck.
I also read in some other topics to set all of the values to 0, tht helped, I now get the "say no to drugs screen" but it hangs there and it is VERY hard to get out of it.
I also loaded some screen shots to a dedicated folder and idetified it in the path, but no luck there either.
further suggestions, please.

When I first tried I thought it may have been hanging as well. I timed a couple of tables loading times just through VP and then tried them using the wrapper as some tables take a while to load everything.
With the screenshots, are they named the same as the .vpt table file? If not, they won't be displayed in Mamewah.
unclet:
I uploaded 1386 screenshots for Visual Pinball tables to the ScreenshotArchive site:
http://localarcade.com/screenshotarchive/
Just download them and use them .......
