Now I feel stupid. I tried everything I could think of but I missed the obvious. If anyone else is having trouble with these Instruction Cards.... It is NOT "Table.png", "Table 2.png", "Table 3.png", etc (or use .swf files) It IS "Table.png", "Table 1.png", "Table 2.png", etc (or use .swf files) ....Keyboard Keys.... Press I (or press Enter & choose "Instructions" from the menu) to display the first card. Press RightArrow & LeftArrow (default) to display the next/last card. Press Enter or Esc to exit viewing the card (goes back to PinballX if on 1st monitor or PinballX animation if on 2nd monitor). Thanks for your help!

If I create a .PNG file with Windows Paint or XnView, PinballX 4.80 seems to always display the first page of it. If I make three .PNG files "My Table.png", "My Table 2.png", "My Table 3.png" only the first one is displayed. If I convert them to .SWF files with SWFTools (PNG2SWF), the same thing happens. I have 3 instruction cards for "Superman (Atari 1979)" and PinballX displays all 3 like it should. [My 4K TV is used for PinballX, my 1400x1050 Monitor us used for displaying the Instruction Cards.] Does PBX have resolution/color limitations for Instruction Cards? Does PBX have trouble displaying more than one Instruction Card sometimes?

It would take me wayyy too long to paste info from each of my 300 tables ReadMe's to an .XML or .INI file. Renaming each Readme to match each table's name seems ok (maybe for other user's also?). I thought maybe PinballX had this functionality already. I guess I'll leave them like they are for now. P.S. Multi-page .PNG instruction cards ARE working for me now. Thank you for your help!!

I have instruction cards too and they are working, except if i use .PNG files with more then one page it only displays one page. (i put a " 1" after the first, and " 2" after the second etc). .SWF works even with multi-pages. I make a readme.txt whenever I download a table, and put any notes in it the author may have put on the download page, or anything special I figure out myself, like "Press A for this type of game" or "Press X to make this happen." PinballX has an "Information" page that displays how many times you've played a table, I wish it would display a "TABLENAME.txt" file below that info or maybe on another page.

I have a ReadMe.txt file for each of my tables, with table notes and special instructions if applicable. Before playing a table I don't want to: Exit PinballX, find then look at the ReadMe file, then restart PinballX; just to see if there is any special instructions. Is there a way to make PinballX display the readme.txt for the current table (like naming it the same as the table file)?
