Thanks for this website and I hope you know how to forgive my mistakes, I have a Bartop and I want to put Pinball HD Collection, Zaccaria Pinball and Pinball FX 3 (I have the latter up and running with .bat files since my bartop has medium resources and I don't have pinballX My doubt that I don't know how to do it since I don't have pinballX and it's a bartop is it possible to launch the independent Pinball HD Collection tables without going through the menu (I don't know if I understand myself, make a .bat file with Vikings and have PinballHDCollection run and directly the Vikins table (and if possible there is something like Pinball FX3 that is in the menu where you can choose the number of players)) And with Zaccaria pinball it would be the same if possible and if someone knows how to do this engineering and can help me Thanks and as I said before, I'm sorry if I put impossible things. I've been doing this for a while and it messes me up a lot.

Hey, Did something with the pinball cabinet again, i saw @susoarkangel requesting it and as far as i'm aware noone got this working on their cabinet, so i created once more an autohotkey script to make it work even with table selection from within a frontend. The script works by accepting 1 (table) parameter and then it launches the games, waits for the game to become visible / active and then in the menu it will first move left about 16 times so i know i'm on the 1st table and then depending on the table parameter move right X Number of times to select the correct table. I also remapped keyboard controls as the game buy default comes with no keyboard remapping and no support for joypads as far as i'm aware (although you can use steam input remapping to make a joypad work by assigning keyboard keys to your joypad inside steam input config). One last nasty thing the game has is high score entering screen, you can not input anything using the flipper buttons, the game only accepts Escape to cancel the dialog but this posed a problem as i also use escape with pinballx to quit a game. I found a way around it by using a different button than escape inside to send escape a few times so it first cancels input, then cancels the high score list then brings up the main menu (so 3x escape) and then pressing enter to play again so it works like a restart button. I tried documenting the script a bit and you will need to change a few values depending on your system (like keyboard shortcuts remapping) and possibly the timeout value for launching the game and becomming visible. I will not provide an executable so you will have to compile the script yourself using autohokey and adapt where needed. You also need to use this launcher script instead of the game's exe to launch the game. The script will remain running as long as the game is running, you can place the script anywhere you'd like. You will also need to make sure the game is running in portrait mode before launching the launcher, i personally use irotate in a launch before and launch after script to do this. you will also need to start the game once normally from within steam to change the camera style to fixed instead of flyby and exit the game. So here is a screenshot my settings in pinballx.. and here is the script : LaunchPinballHDCollection.ahk and here is the pinball x Database: Pinball HD Collection.xml The script accepts the following table names, always in lowercase exactly as written below: wildwest fantasy zombie deep jungle halloween davinci snow arcade pirates redplanet tanks streetracing dreamland mafia vikings and here is a video showcasing the script running from my arcade cabinet:
