I just started getting into pinball emulation and ran across the very problems described in this thread. I'm on the latest GameEx version and latest Future Pinball version but I still get focus issues. I did work around it though. I decided to write a VBScript that would change the focus to the app. What the script does is check every five seconds to see if Future Pinball is running, and if it is, it sets focus to it. It'll check every five seconds for up to five minutues. These times/intervals are all of course, configurable as needed for your situtation. If anyone still has this problem and wants to try it out, just copy the code below into notepad, and save as something like C:\activate.vbs. Then create a batch file with one line in it that runs: cscript C:\activate.vbs. Set the batch file up in the "Also Launch" field in your advanced emulator config in GameEx. Also, you might have to make sure that User Account Control is turned off and that you have your computer setup to automatically run VBScript files; that's how I have mine set and I didn't test other systems. 'Begin VBScript: Dim isAppRunning Dim endTime Set objShell = WScript.Createobject("Wscript.Shell") endTime = DateAdd("n",5,Now) Do Wscript.echo "Trying application activation in 5 seconds..." WScript.Sleep(5000) isAppRunning = objShell.AppActivate("Future Pinball - © 2008 BSP Software Design Solutions") Loop While (isAppRunning = False) AND (Now < endTime) wscript.Quit 'End of Script
