Sooo long story short I got it working using irotate outside of Pinx all together, and using a joystick remapper to use my virtua pin pin wizard controller....thank you all for your help!!!

I guess my issue is I understood the Pinx loader to now rotate the screen. See my first post. Are you saying I need to add rotation software then Pinx will just launch it using that software? Not sure the need to use Pinx then?

It loads but still in horizontal format and it goes straight to no fear....hmmm

Ok- so unfortunately the defaults don't help. Ultimately - Steam86 does not exist on my WinXP set up. ultimately it launches and immediately dumps out and closes before Steam can be launched. I know I'm so close- but may have to cry uncle soon. My photos are as follows: PBA List- Games Manager list notes that I only have TOTAN highlighted in Games Manager RECOMMENDED SETTINGS- these are the default settings recommended RESULTS/RECOMMENDED- this is the path error I get when I use default settings. MY SETTINGS- are what I used and it launched PBA but only the program and not the game itself. It also didn't rotate. This is the closest I got. Photos 1, 2 and 3- show what happens when I use default settings. You can see the games list, it "loads" then immediately crashes. Any last thoughts? - again appreciate all the advice here! I'm sure there's something super obvious I I'm not seeing.

OK getting closer- I now have the PBA list in the games manager- it launched PBA - but it's still launching in landscape- and not portrait. This is running a cabinet-- I'm SOOOO close! -- Here's my latest files-- any further suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!

Yeah I seem to be missing that. I'll look out for that file. My sincere thanks for all of your help. I feel I'm on the verge of my eureka moment on this...fingers crossed.

Ok looking in the games list manager i only see vp, fp and mame. Obviously that is the issue. How do i add pba arcade to thos list?

Do I need to launch pba first?

Ok so I cleared it back to defaults and I can't figure how to launch it via pinballx. Should I see pinball arcade as an option to launch w the pinball tables? So confused. Thanks!!!

man I left for a day and found all of this great info! - I'm going to give this another shot tomorrow...thanks for the continued conversation around this... ....MERRY CHRISTMAS!
