I'm looking for a way to customize or disable the automatic keypresses that occur when loading a game like Pinball Arcade or Pinball FX2. Having keypresses is problematic because it makes it impossible to select a specific side in "Star Wars: Starfighter Assault " and similar titles. Any ability to do that (or any information on if there is already one that I don't know about) would be great. Thanks. Also, see the attached thread.

I do programming and development. I don't see how my "assumption" is flawed. Pinball X monitors programs that load and if it sees X program load it then runs certain keypresses. If I had it run a program known as "PinballFX2.exe" that wasn't actually Pinball FX2 it would still try to input the keypresses. It has to do completely with Pinball X and what it thinks is happening. It has nothing to do with the specifics of Pinball Arcade or Pinball FX2.

Uh... what? The issue is about Pinball X, not anything else. The SINGLE APP not the other things it loads. The commands are being sent by Pinball X itself. I'm not talking about Pinball Arcade or Pinball FX2 except as examples of what Pinball X itself is doing. This is a single issue.

So you're saying Pinball X sends its keypresses different ways depending on what app is loaded? Because it sure doesn't seem that way.

From my experiences using it they are related, though. Both have similar keypresses (left + enter repeatedly pressed). I want to disable or customize the auto keypresses for both. Wouldn't a solution for one be applicable to the other?

It seems using "PinballXLite.exe" removes the auto keypresses. I'm unsure what else using that does though. It seems to not properly exit Pinball Arcade, but it works fine with Pinball FX2 from everything I can tell. I actually wonder if there is a way to customize what auto keypresses are sent. It seems like enter and left is hit multiple times from how it reacts to Pinball Arcade. Any idea on how to change that and/or change the mouse position (so it focuses the Pinball Arcade screen instead of the DMD)?

I've tried -1 but it still seems to happen almost instantly when the game loads. Any other ideas?

Hello. I'm trying to disable the auto key presses that occur with PinballX when loading a game. For example, if I play Pinball FX2's "Star Wars: Starfighter Assault" it inputs key presses that skips the ship selection (of either X-Wing or TIE Fighter). I can change the delay so it happens later, but I want it to not happen at all. Same problem occurs with Pinball Arcade, it will constantly send inputs and basically forces a loading of the last game played and then cycles through the ball types. I'm using PinballX 2.6.2 and don't see any option to disable them. I tried every different delay setting I could think of, even going into the config file itself and changing them to 1 second or 0 seconds or leaving it blank and more. Nothing seems to work in disabling them. I also looked around for solutions, but haven't been able to find any. Threads like the one I attached didn't really have any information that worked for me either. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. EDIT: Also, being able to set what the auto key presses were would be useful if that's possible. It seems when I load Pinball Arcade on our machines the cursor goes off screen and hitting enter doesn't send to the Pinball Arcade window. So having something automated to fix that would be good too.

The same time contributing here to get access to the 3 videos I could just capture video myself. Again, if this was a lot of files we were talking about I'd be on board. But 3 files out of 100? Not worth the effort. But thanks anyway.

I agree that people's work should be rewarded. But membership for just three videos seems a bit excessive. If I was going for all the Pinball FX2 videos I would definitely agree, but that isn't the case. But to each their own.

Maybe, but I'm doing this for work and I'm not authorized to spend money. It is only 3 pieces of art too, we have everything else. I could download videos from YouTube that people have posted, but I figured I'd ask just in case you could help. If there were tons of media packages I'd try to convince my boss to spend money on it, but 3 videos are nothing.

I'm trying to download the playfield videos but I assume I can't because I'm not a subscribing member? Is there any other way I can get the playfield videos for the 3 Aliens games?
