only way i have ever gotten pinball FX from epic to work with epic services activated (so you are online and can submit scores to leaderboards) and do table launch is by using legendary but if your cabinet is always offline just link to epic's version exe directly as thats much easier but if you want to be online and have online score submission try this : Basically you can use legendary https://github.com/derrod/legendary to do this. First you download legendary.exe from release somewhere and run a cmd prompt. Then you normally do legendary auth to authorize yourself with epic games, once authorized you normally do legenday list to find the pinball FX game's appname but i know it's 56a31432931740cdb0112d237d7d65aa so what i did then is import my current Epic's pinball FX install location ("i:\Games\Epic Games\PinballFX") using legendary import 56a31432931740cdb0112d237d7d65aa "i:\Games\Epic Games\PinballFX" it should say it imported the game fine Once that is done you can launch the epic version using legendary using following command to launch wild west rampage table in classic mode legendary launch 56a31432931740cdb0112d237d7d65aa -Table 75 -GameMode Classic and basically thats the command you use in your frontend as well. Or you could also check which command legendary uses to make this work by running legendary launch 56a31432931740cdb0112d237d7d65aa --dry-run -Table 75 -GameMode Classic and it will show you the parameters it passes to pinballfx.exe intermediatary launcher (for unreal engine games), suffice to say never share that commandline with anyone as it will contain login credentials you only need to do the import and auth once (unless you get logged out or so) and then you can always do the 3rd launch command and use that in your frontends in theory once you did the authorization and import of the game you can then use always the last command to make it work from within pinballx but i never bothered with that. Steam version is way easier to use and i switched from epic to steam at the time early access ended

i'm not sure but if i remember correctly they released a new file (not sure if it was the ocx file) that had a permanent block inside it to load it but i'm not sure this whats causing it. potentially the older file did not have this block yet if it is the cause

there is a special bundle containing all 4 tables that gives a slightly higher discount than when you pay for all 4 table dlc seperately. In my region the 4 dlc's for the tables are -10% each but the death save bundle gives you -18% for all 4 tables

@Mike_da_Spike related to freezy did you try copying Settings.ini from FX to the same location for pinball M ? normally that setting is written in that file so potentially if the code is there but no UI it might work

direct table launch does not seem to be implemented yet in M at least i could not get it working with the FX commands

@Mike_da_Spike here are the other game modes, they seem to be working now and they had enough time to fix the issues so i'm telling them now. I've gotten these directly from the exe and i tested the challenge modes, they seem to be working (again) now at least if i tested them with biolab table Challenge_BallLimited -> 1 ball challenge Challenge_TimeLimited -> 5 minute time challenge Challenge_DistanceLimited -> distance challenge Challenge_FlipLimited -> flips challenge Hotseat_2 -> 2 player hotseat Hotseat_3 -> 3 player hotseat Hotseat_4 -> 4 player hotseat Practice -> practice Pro -> pro mode (not sure if this one works but it was in the exe) Classic -> classic mode

It's a spin off of zen pinball, with adult themed tables, i'm guessing they made this spin off so they don't have to change the age classifications of the normal zen pinball. From what i've read it should have cabinet support, but i did not test it yet https://store.steampowered.com/app/2337640/Pinball_M/ Edit: tested, the game is nice but unfortunately no working direct table launch commands or at least the ones from pinball fx don't work. But it does have cabinet mode (best to copy your settings.xml from pinball fx over as the cabinet mode does not stick otherwise after restart) these should be id's of the tables (in case you want todo backglasses using ingame system) Duke Nukem's Big Shot Pinball 176 Dead by Daylight™ Pinball 174 The Thing Pinball 175 Chucky's Killer Pinball 171 Wrath of the Elder Gods - Director’s Cut 147

i own retro pinball, unless something has changed it has no support for direct table launch, i looked at the game once to make a script but did not do it because the game does not support keyboard input (ONLY) for selecting and launching tables, so i never did it. In theory it is possible to create a script that simulates the mouse clicks at certain locations but this very finicky because if people use different resolutions that what the script was made for it will fail but autohotkey certainly supports simulating mouse clicks so its definatly possible but not in a generic way that would work for most people. Besides all of that the game also does not support portrait mode correctly, it seems to squish the main screen in a landscape view in portrait mode

as always test in cmd.exe i just tested it with latest version of the game and it still works fine for me. You are using the game's build in loading support right and not some old script i might have made in the past as that used different tablenames? i:\Games\Steam\steam.exe -applaunch 678310 -loadTable golf is what i tested and it launched the table directly. Also I'm not sure but certain tables might need to be unlocked first by playing the game. I'm not certain if the loadTable command can override that, i think it started the tables but you could not choose to replay a table if you did not had it unlocked

option 3 should be multiselect as i use both, so i selected game manager My cabinet was not made by me and windows 10 was preinstalled, it works fine and i don't want to upgrade to windows 11 because it would be too much hassle and probably take some performance away also i doubt i have a TPM 2 module on the motherboard so upgrading is not an option as it is a requirement for windows 11, i don't change whats working.

the scripts expects the steam version of pinball hd collection and nothing else, so the game must be installed already and steam must also be installed you can write in a cmd prompt were launchpinballhdcollection.Exe (from the autohotkey script) is located the following command: where you can replace [tablefile] with the following writen exactly like this: wildwest fantasy zombie deep jungle halloween davinci snow arcade pirates redplanet tanks streetracing dreamland mafia vikings for example if you want this into batch files per game create a new text file by right clicking in explorer in a directory and choosing new -> text file. Rename the new.txt to vikings.bat (make sure you can see file extension in explorer.Exe or it won't work). The edit the batch file and place the commands inside it.

try playing with the "1" value in last command it dictates on which monitor the backglass should display. Also make sure you downloaded / got image_monitor_view.exe from my github, if you don't have the file it won't work and also make sure to set on wait on exit for the batch files to true

Thanks for this, There used to be more game modes listed, i think all were accessible at least at the time i tried them out it and i could run all challenges but there was a typo in 2 game modes and they asked me not to disclose those 2 until they fixed it in a patch. I see they fixed the typo's now but I just tested it out and it seems they block the other game modes now so probably they are still working on it and don't allow running those until finished. Also "Pro" does not seem to work it always starts classic but Practice does work. You can see in what game mode your if you pause the game, it will list it at the top then. I'm sure the other game modes will arrive in a patch sometime soon, if takes them a while i'll ask someone from zen i talked with earlier related to these game modes (who asked me also to wait until disclosing the other names because of typo's).
