Hi I've been batteling for a few hours now trying to get PBA to launch the correct table from inside PinballX. I'm trying to cut everything back and just have the default PinballX implementation to work, so no extra mods (FCM) or scripts to keep things simple. I've got PinballX launching PBA via steam working fine, and the rotation of the screen seems fine too. I can "hear" and see key presses being sent, but the wrong table is being selected. When it loads it seems to select Options first, pauses, then exits and selects MyTables. Then pauses then there are *lots* of keypresses where it seems to alternate between MyTables and the Exit button, then selects the wrong table... I've attached my PinballX ini file and PinballArcade xml file. I have another custom Pinball Arcade system in my file but its not in use as that was a test. Also I dont own *any* PBA tables yet other than the free Arabian Nights, so I'm just trying to launch that. I assume the "1x1" is correct for the grid then, as thats the only table I own? Instead, it seems to end up highlighting Addams Family in the unowned grid, then moves down 1 and select Black Hole. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here and what best to fix. Does the FCM "just work"? I tried downloading it but when I run it just says its "down for maintenance". Either way I'd like to see it working with the inbuilt PinballX support first. I've also included Steam screenshot to show how it ends up with Black Hole selected. PinballX.ini Pinball Arcade.xml

Does anyone happen to have an OfflineData.m0d file for Free Cam Mod for Pinball Arcade. It just updated yesterday and messed up a bunch of my cab tables and I didn't know to make an offline data file. If anyone has one I'd be ultra grateful.

Hi Completly new to all this and I'm just testing out software before making my cabinet build (both cab and pc). I've got PinballX working "nicely" with VP, FP and FX2, got table booting up fine with single screen so far (my eventual aim is 2 screen + pinDMD3) But I can't for the life of me get PBA to work. The machine i'm testing on *can't* do DX11, the machine I'm going to make *will* be able too, so if thats a prerequisite I'll just have to stop the testing for now. This means I can't test with the FreeCamMod that I see lots of you use. When I try to launch a table, pinballX "closes" to black screen and then it just hangs for maybe 10 seconds, then the desktop is diplayed....PBA doesn't appear to launch at all? This is the case both via Steam and if I install offline outside of Steam. The XML file i have is just the one that automatically generates but i've attached here... This is my PinballArcade config setup... [PinballArcade] WorkingPath=C:\Pinball\PinballArcade Executable=PinballArcade.exe Parameters=-applaunch 238260 Process=PinballArcade.exe WaitForSelect=50 Enabled=True InterfaceVersion=3 I've tried with all InterfaceVersions but I don't think they are having any effect because the app just doesn't seem to execute?
