Visual Pinball help
« on: May 11, 2007, 07:43:05 pm »
Hoping someone can help with this...

I downloaded a torrent that had visual pinball and 193 tables and romsets... but when I start visual pinball, it comes up with what looks like a design screen, and to play a game I have to load and run etc.

Is there a way to
a) Make the list of visual pinball games available in a FE (I use Mala)
b) Make visual pinball load straight into a game rather than having to go through the process above? I would assume so otherwise no-one could run it with arcade controllers, they'd need to pull out a keyboard all the time... I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

I think Unclet's MaLa guide has a VP setup

Have a look.....
