Microsoft Pinball & Mamewah
« on: July 05, 2006, 02:39:45 am »
Someone please help me
I have all my PC Games working in Mamewah but Microsofts Pinball
When i try to load it, it just sits there
Is there a setting i am supposed to use, or a wrapper or something that will let me load this game ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i downloaded the wrapper and can get it to launch in windows xp by running the wrapper with launcher on the end. but when i do the same in mamewah it just loads the launcher GUI
how do i force it to load the pinball arcade launcher ?

did you change the shortcut, so it point to the wrapper (or created a new one)?

You may need to genereate the list again, before it works.

yes, the sortcut points to the wrapper.
"C:\Pinball Game\whatever the wrapper is called.exe" launcher.exe
it works in windows xp when i run the shortcut, it goes right in and loads launcher.exe (which is the microsoft pinball loader) and works fine

when i run the exact same shortcut from Mamewah it only loads the wrapper GUI.

it maybe a setpath problems? You may need to look in the mamewah log file, what it has tried to run.

I guess the wrapper diddent could find the actuelly game, because it started with a wrong start path (a typical problem, wich chaused my own jukebox software too). Hince it open the wrapper gui.

Instead you may try to create a bat file, and type this into that:

Code: [Select]
c:\
cd C:\Pinball Game\

; Your wrapper file
launcher.exe


You should of course let the shortcut point into  the new bat file.
