YEah. that takes less space in a room Mrs Da Spike would love that too. But now I have a full Arcade cabinet and a full Pinball Cabinet

Ha ! I will. I'm busy with upgrading my arcade cabinet. I didn't do the previous setup, but will do it now. I tested MArioKart8 with CEmu and that was working like a charm. I hope to get the parts that I ordered this week. So new adventure for me, doing games in my Arcade cabinet as well

Case closed ! Glad I could help mate. Thats why there is a community. All to help each other

Awesome. Not sure if you use gamemanager.exe or @Scutters and mine program PinballX database manager. But instead of having the filename without extension, user the filename with extension, add the extension manually, If you have a lot of entries in the XML file (thats the file that PinballX uses. Located under <pinballx direcory>\databases\<system name>\<Filename>.xml ), you need to find a smart way to add .nes after every file name. EDIT : You can also do in settings.exe : "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE].nes" This forces .nes after every file. BUt you must make sure that you only have .nes files in this directory !

I post a new command later. What is the full filename of C:\Games\NEStopia\roms\Contra ? Is that C:\Games\NEStopia\roms\Contra.nes ? If so, try it with C:\Games\NEStopia\nestopia.exe "C:\Games\NEStopia\roms\Contra.nes"

Did you check my post 3 above ? Sorry, that I can't give you all the answers. I'm only using PinballX for Pinball emulation, but trying to help you mate

Did you try it with extension ? I try to tell you if you can't make it work outside PinballX, that it will be hard to get it workign in Pinballx

According to the documentation of NESTopia you need the full name with extension : Command Line/Configuration File Parameters While parameters in the command line and configuration file shares the same syntax and can be used interchangebly, command line parameters are given higher priority. Directories, filenames, guids and input keys must be surrounded by quotation marks. Example: Nestopia.exe "c:\gianasisters.nes" -video fullscreen bpp : 16 -video fullscreen width : 1024 -video fullscreen height : 768 -preferences fullscreen on start : yes -view size fullscreen : stretched According to th elogfile I didn't see an extension. So try it first from command line. If that works, fix it for PinballX

the trick is to start the emulator with rom from command line. If you know how that works, you can add it to PinballX. If you can't make it work from commandline, its hard to get it work in pbx

Start a command prompt. Within windows : search -> cmd.exe From here type : C:\Games\NEStopia\nestopia.exe "C:\Games\NEStopia\roms\Contra" Within the log file I see now : 02:35:04.07 5/5/2020: C:\Games\NEStopia\nestopia.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" Change the rompath\romfile in "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]"

Can you post a new logfile with the error ? In your previous logfile the exe is called as parameter (as Tom mentioned) 20:22:02.07 5/3/2020: C:\Games\NEStopia\nestopia.exe nestopia.exe "C:\Games\NEStopia\roms\Contra" First try if you get it run from a command line and if that is working, add it to the frontend

Version 1.5.1 uploaded. Small Bugfix for real DMD users (and added 2 buttons for easy filtering enabled/disabled tables)

With the great help of @scutters we released version 1.5 See download section for new features

nice one ! But I thought that @Draco1962 already mentioned in your post to not use compatability mode Glad it works out fine for you. Within PinballX.ini the last table/system is placed, so the next time it launches from there. If you want to start always from the same table/system, you can make something at the closure of PinvallX to modify this file and to write your own settings. Or post in the feature updates a request

And if you got issues, post your log and settings file

Think that will do the trick

Anything in the log file ?

Not sure, but think it does. Database manager can do it

Thanks @joyrider3774 I also put them in the instruction card folder, so it can be downloaded via Gamemanager and/or Database Manager. I hope you don't mind

You can also try this instead of game manager:

@scutters saves the day ! Just checked mine settings and it is check. So it means when checked it use the defaults... Great and welcome to the world of pinball!

Not sure what fixes your issue (for future reference to help others with the same issue)

it was the easiest part for me . I first setup a pc without a joystick controller. Just setup visual pinball with keyboard. If that was saved I added my vpin controller. I setup the buttons as I wanted and added that to the config of visual pinball. maybe post a screenshot at @scutters mentioned of your vp settings. That must help

What exe did you set in TPAFreecammod for pinballArcade itself ? Is that PinballArcade11.exe? If so, try to run PinballX as admin

Please provide your log file where the issue occurs. Also post your pinballx.ini. Both as attachment please
