I tested it and it is indeed working... [RESOLVED]

Thank you Tom

Hi guys I just upgraded pinballx with the latest update link, the last update I did was last June give or take, so I thought I would get things current... I have the same problem, no start-up sound... I miss the pinball wizard track playing I liked it... Anyway, I see that this topic is over a month old and I do not see a fix... Hoping to get some info... Did Tom ever figure it out? Please let me know Thanks Ken

I found a work-around, I created a new list item in the setup using "other" so all is good...

Hi, Let me say that the Pinball X software you created is very cool, I love it and my life is improved because of it. I cannot thank you enough. I do have a issue that I cannot seem to figure out. I have FX3 up and working but when I go to the manager to put "Pinball FX3" from the list into my group it is not there, all the others show up in the list but not "Pinball FX3". all the FX3 tables are working great if I use all tables but I have a group that has just my favorite tables and I would like very much to have FX3 tables in that group. Any ideas on what I need to do? Thanks Ken

HI Outhere, Sorry for the delay in posting, I see the same issue with out running pinballx, starting from just the vp.exe's its there. I know its not a prolblem with PinballX. but I have tried to add the above code into the game's script in vp but it just crashes game, that is why I think it needs to be done durring the launching to put the playfield last in the sequence so that the games playfield or the playfield monitor is the focus after everything is up an running, I could be way off-base but I don't know how to fix this, well, really fix it the right way, I have ordered a small touch screen and will mount it on the lock-down bar, that way I at least won't have to open up the cab to start a game. I am running DOFLinx to run with BAM in FP, I would love to try a fx2 game they look very cool, I read that if I use steam then I can run on my cab's 3 screens, so I will most likly try a game bundle from steam, they do look cool in the youtube vids I have seen. I went to FX2 webs site but its now just a holding screen for FX3.

Has all hope been lost?

Hi Draco1962, Thanks for helping, The error does not give me prompts, I just have to move the mouse over the playfield and click before it will start. Most VP9 all VPPhyMod5 and some VPX games do this. 24, 250cc, ArronSpelling,Agents777,AlienStar, AlendPoker, Amazing Spiderman, Aqualand, Atlantis, AttackRFMars, AttackFromMars, AustinPowers,BatmanDarkKnight,BigBuckHunter, BigGuns, BlackRose, BlackWater, BoneBuster, CSI. and so on........

Hi, I love pinball and your front end is great, but I have a problem that I would really like to solve. When some of the games load the focus is not on the playfield so I have to open up the cab. find the mouse plug it in and click on the playfield to get the game to accept credits and start. I am not much of a code guy, I have written some for robotics and what-not but this seems like a quick fix if a WinActivate line could be added at the end of launch sequences. I found this exampleCould you help me implement this with correct paths or maybe you have a better fix or maybe I did something wrong setting things up. I sure would like to fix it any help would be very much apperciated... I am running Win10 Thanks Ken https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinActivate.htm Example() Func Example() ; Run Notepad Run("notepad.exe") ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear. Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10) ; Activate the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait. WinActivate($hWnd) ; Close the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait. WinClose($hWnd) EndFunc ;==>Example
