Fixed it !!! Needed to set Wait Before Keys to 3000 and Send Keys to {enter}

How do you get WinUAE to run the configuration file after it is selected in GameEx? Right now when I select the *.uae configuration in GameEx it runs WinUAE and ighlights the config but it doesn't automatically runs it I Have to press the ENTER key for it to run. My command line looks like this: WinUAE.exe -f "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" and my ROMS Filter is: *.uae I can see all my configs, but like i said it just runs WinUAE and higlights the config but never runs it you have to press the ENTER Key for it to run the game or whatever config it is.

That is the problem I think your Visual Pinball isn't installed correctly. When I double click a table .lnk file it runs Visual Pinball Loads the table and then runs it. So the file association with .vpt table isn't working on your system it sounds like because it should load them in VP then run it when you double click on a .vpt file (table) All your .vpt tables should have the visual pinball icon on them if they are assoc with VP correctly.

Hmmmmmm did you try double clicking your .lnk table just to see if it runs your table without GameEx running just do it from the folder just to make sure it is working from there. Also make sure you have your tables running in full screen (doesn't matter what resolution but make sure it is set at 32bit just to be safe) If so ..... there must be something I'm missing in your config because it works great on my end. I just noticed this: Command=""[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"" it should be (1 quote not two): Command="[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

you need to fix these lines: AlsoLaunch= configFile= and in the advanced config file you need this name it whatever you want and save it to your GameEx/CONFIGS/EMULATORS directory and select it under your Advanced Config. I named mine: [Mapping Off] Exit (ESC+ENTER) CUT ----- # This is an advanced emulator configuration file. It does things such as allow keyboard only emulators to be operated by a gamepad, wait for additional processes to exit and map keys. If this file is used it overrides the MAPKeys setting for the emulator. [GENERAL] # Enabled. Use this. Enabled=True #Make MCE Back button and X-ARCADE Escape and SlikStik Escape to close emulator process MapBack=True #Make Escape key close emulator process MapEscape=True #When exiting an emulator via the above mappings, you can specify keys in the send keys format to send instead of having GameEx close the process to cleanly exit the emulator. Such as the Q Key or ALT F4 which is %{F4} KeysToSendOnExit={ESC}{ENTER} #Wait for keys to be processed by the emulator EmuWaitForKeys=True #Additional processes to wait to exit or close on exit. Dont include the .exe. Leave blank not to use. Process1= Process2= Process3= Process4= [JOYMAPPING] # For mapping a GamePad to keys # Specify a virtual key code to send when the specific joystick control is pressed. Look at vkcodes.htm for codes. JoymappingEnabled=FALSE Left= up= Right= Down= Button1= Button2= Button3= Button4= Button5= Button6= Button7= Button8= Button9= Button10= Button11= Button12= [GAMEPADEXIT] #MAP Gamepad controls to exit and make controls exit process MapGamePadExit=True #Flag the controls that exit a game by placing True next to each control. To not use the control as part of the combination use a 0 Left=True Down= Right= Up=True Button1= Button2= Button3= Button4=True Button5=True Button6=True Button7= Button8= Button9= Button10= Button11= Button12= [MOUSEMAPPING] # For registered users, the ability to control the mouse with a gamepad and/or directional keys. # For example for PC strategy games. # Apparantly this functionality is similar to the software Pinnacle profiler. Remember you can setup an emulator # as one PC game. Specify enabled, and mousespeed 0-20. 20 Being fastest. This setting overrides the directional # mapping for the above and buttons 1 and 2 Button 1/CTRL becomes left mouse. Button 2/ALT Right mouse MouseMappingEnabled=False MouseSpeed=0 [bLOCKKEYS] # Use this section to disable and block key presses and mouse clicks. # To disable the mouse clicks use code 1 for left mouse button, # 2 for right button and 4 for middle button Enabled=False BlockKey_1=1 BlockKey_2=2 BlockKey_3=4 BlockKey_4= BlockKey_5= [KEYBOARDREMAP] # Remap Keys for the emulator. Specify from the from key, which is the key you wish to replace the to key # This should be good enough for real time gaming. Registered version feature. Look at VKCodes.htm for codes. Enabled=False Remap_1_From_VK= Remap_1_To_VK= Remap_2_From_VK= Remap_2_To_VK= Remap_3_From_VK= Remap_3_To_VK= Remap_4_From_VK= Remap_4_To_VK= Remap_5_From_VK= Remap_5_To_VK=

That is the command line make sure it is in quotes "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" and you create a directory where all your shortcuts are in for your tables seperate from Visual Pinball directory mine are like this: D:\My Emulators\Frontends\GameEx\Visual Pinball Tables That should be your ROM Path. Now your Working path should also be: D:\My Emulators\Frontends\GameEx\Visual Pinball Tables Maybe that is what you have wrong!!

Fixed Thanks

Anyway to get rid of the second Icon at all?? I tried uninstalling it and re-installing and that didn't work.

Sorry Tom not trying too I just know it wasn't working and I didn't do anything at all in my config for it ... I just switched over to MAME instead of WinKawaks to tell you the truth as it works and I like MAME better anyways so I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you get more complaints that WinKawaks doesn't work for anyone else.

The latest version when I installed it with the Karaoke for Direct X it installed 2 icons in the Control Panel????

All I know it is an avi video. I'm done with it .... thanks for the help but I am not gonna mess with it no more since the old version works with out me having to configure anything. Until Tom somehow gets the latest ffdshow to work with GameEx I'm sticking with this one. Not trying to sound like I don't appreciate your help as I do, I just want to install it and for it too work I don't want to mess around with configuring all these codecs as I don't have a clue as to what I am doing. The old ffdshow all I have to do is double click it installed and it works no configuring at all.

Dangit this is the 5th time I tried it and no it's not working !!! AGAIN .... So I ask until you I think the problem is that GameEx is looking for ffdshow.exe and the vista codec doesn't install ffdshow.exe as i searched my system and it is nowhere to be found????? And YES I do not have DivX installed on my system.

Just avi's and no I don't have any other codecs installed that I found. I uninstalled ffdshow before running the vista codec pack and set it up like you said and still had blank screen. Oh well I am not gonna mess with it anymore as it is working with the older version of ffdshow right now would of been nice to be with the most current version but oh well really don't feel like messing with it anymore at this point and time.

Yeah it wasn't working .... It was back in 9.63 (last time I checked), but I haven't tried it since upgrading to 9.65 until today and noticed it wasn't working. I didn't change anything in my config and all looked like it did back in 9.63, but that's ok since I just switched it over to MAME instead (As a seperate emulator for just my NeoGeo games) and all is working again. I really like MAME better personally anyways than WinKawaks .... that's just my preference. So all is good !! I tried WinKawaks outside of GameEx and it works fine so I have no clue as too what happened.

Before my config for NeoGeo games using WinKawaks was working with all games now when you select a game I noticed that WinKawaks says no rom loaded and boots back to GameEx. Well for me I just fixed this by not using WinKawaks anymore and configured it to use MAME in a seperate folder so it's not mixed with my other MAME games.

He's right I just tried my NeoGeo using WinKawaks and now it doesn't work keeps booting back to GameEx

I creted a new folder where I stored shortcuts to all my tables. I know it is a pain in the butt, but for me I didn't want every table listed as alot of them are not that good to look at or play (So it filters out all the crap tables easily) and just setup that folder as my roms path. Made map keys set to off and in the advanced config had it send the keys on exit to ESC+ENTER keys so when I press the ESC Key it closes Visual Pinball down and exits back to GameEx menu. Works fluidly and like a charm. Just kinda pain in the initial setup stage as I had to create shortcuts of all my good .vpt tables and put them in my Pinball LNK folder and rename them to my liking. But it works as I was having a hard time getting it to work any other way even thou I read other post that other people were doing it just wasn't working for me so I messed around with it a bit and came up with this method. Your command line in the config should read "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" and filter should read *.lnk That is

Still not working. Do I need to install the latest ffdshow first then install the xp codec pack or ??

I use Pinnacle Game Profiler. Check it out here http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

Works for me.However I have my Visual Pinball setup as .lnk files in the setup as it works much better for me this way without any problems what-so-ever!

yeah because it displays the gameex logo png file then runs the video

Well I just tried the Vista Codec pack with XP and it didn't work had to resort back to old version of ffdshow. When I ran GameEx all I got was a black screen and nothing happened!! Had to reboot my computer and re-install old version of ffdshow and it works again.

What the heck .... dunno what just happened here as my post just repeated 3 times ....sorry. Update: Thanks for deleting the other two post Tom

Will GameEx ever support the newer version of ffdshow at all Tom?

Yeah I did that but if I put the video in my C:\My Videos directory it will show the GameExisLoading.png then goto the GameExisLoading.avi. Where as if I put the GameExisLoading.avi where the png file is then it will not display the png file and just play the video.
