I think it would be great if when we select a type 4 system (exe files), PinballX read an .ini file with the name of that system that includes the parameters of each of the games (Steam.ini, Pinball PC Games.ini or whatever our system is called). This .ini file would have a structure similar to this: [Pinball Wicked] WorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pinball Wicked\PinballWicked\Binaries\Win32 TablePath= Executable=PinballWicked-Win32-Shipping.exe Parameters= WaitForProcess=PinballWicked-Win32-Shipping.exe LaunchBeforeEnabled=False LaunchBeforeWorkingPath= LaunchBeforeExecutable= LaunchBeforeParameters= LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=True LaunchBeforeHideWindow=True LaunchAfterEnabled=False LaunchAfterWorkingPath= LaunchAfterExecutable= LaunchAfterParameters= LaunchAfterWaitForExit=True LaunchAfterHideWindow=True [SlamIt Pinball] WorkingPath=C:\PinballX\Scipts Executable=LauncherSlamIt.exe Parameters= WaitForProcess=BigScore.exe TablePath= LaunchBeforeEnabled=True LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=C:\PinballX\Scipts LaunchBeforeExecutable=BeforeSlamIt.bat LaunchAfterEnabled=True LaunchAfterWorkingPath=C:\PinballX\Scipts LaunchAfterExecutable=AfterSlamIt.bat [Demons Tilt] WorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam TablePath= Executable=Steam.exe Parameters=-applaunch 22510 WaitForProcess=DEMON'S TILT.exe LaunchBeforeEnabled=True LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=C:\PinballX\Scripts LaunchBeforeExecutable=BeforeDemonsTilt.bat LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=False LaunchBeforeHideWindow=True LaunchBeforeParameters= LaunchAfterEnabled=True LaunchAfterWorkingPath=C:\PinballX\Scripts LaunchAfterExecutable=AfterDemonsTilt.bat LaunchAfterWaitForExit=True LaunchAfterHideWindow=True [Worms Pinball] ......... etc I think something like this might work if PinballX, knowing it's an .exe file system, were to look for the corresponding .ini file.

Sorry buddy. Your first question was clear, but all the reactions on it, made your question looks like you asked something different. It is not much, but this is the information I have : So, you can only use direct EXE files as table name, with no parameter's at all. And the exe must be exact the same what you launch, other wise it cannot monitor the process and goes back to PinballX. So no go for Steams app that needs steam.exe to launch (maybe a feature request for adding Steam games would be a nice to have ?) I would update the PinballX documentation with the following note : System Type Specify a system type. If other than Custom, PinballX will treat it as the specified in built system and allow features such as high score support. Note: ‘Custom – Exe Files’ doesn’t require any of the next parameters. This type just points in Game Manager to the full path of an EXE file and monitors this process until it stops. Pressing the exit button will exit this process as well. No Parameters can be used
