Lazarus and Visual Pinball

[Chris]

I've almost got Lazarus set up perfectly... I'v figured out the filters, got my skin created, got DAPHNE running.  The only remaining prbem is Visual Pinball.

I got a custom DAT created, and all of my tables, screenshots and "marquees" show up properly.  But when I select a game, the word "Loading" appears in gigantic text, and nothing happens; I can keep moving around the lists, etc.  f I look at the Lazarus log, it shows the command line for the last MAME game I played, as if I never tried to launch a Visual Pinball table.  This happens on both VPinMAME tables and plain VP tables.

Now, if I run the vp-launcher2 from the command line, it opens up VP and plays the table.  Exiting the table drops me to a black screen from which I need to end-task vp-launcher2.exe.

I have vp-launcher2.exe in my Tables directory and I point to it in my VisualPinball.cfg.

Any idea what I'm missing

Thanks!

make sure the wrapper you are using corresponds with the version of pinmame (not visual pinball) you are using.  Using the wrong version will cause exiting problems.  But, with that being said, the game would still launch in lazarus even if you did have the wrong wrapper, so your configuration is flawed.  Also be aware that some visual pinball tables take a looooong time to load and the entire process is hidden behind a blank screen.   Read the visual pinball section and make sure your config files are setup properly.

Oddly enough, I got this to work by un-muting the sound in Lazarus!  Once I did that, the wrapper launched properly....

The wrapper works fine for VPinMAME games but doesn't exit properly on regular VP games, so I went to using a batch file and Auto-IT script, and now I can play pinball in Lazarus. Thanks, Howard!
