Future Pinball

[wastedmind]

http://futurepinball.com/ A nice new emulator project. The Tables look excellent. I would like to make a request to and help setting up GameEx for this emulation project. You can get the full Tables at *link removed* It would be a great addition to GameEX but I have some bit of problems with the command line to launch the tables. It should be like vpinmame tried those settings but nothing. Any help on this emulator porting to GameEX would be Great. Thanx

EDIT: Removed link - HK

I've been meaning to get this running on my cab. I'll let you know how I go.

EDIT: Don't see any Future Pinball tables on that **** link.

It isnt on the link but the full set has recently been posted.

They are on the front page but listed as pinmame tables

I can't find it, any chance you could post the torrent here?

I could but it is a ratio site and possible for me to get shitlisted. Have to be a member to join torrents.

I have been up all night trying to figure the command line etc.

Hi

It works ok launched from GameEx. I created a scifiTable.bat file in the pinball directory, and configured GameEx to run this batch file as one of its External Applications.

Inside the batch file I run Future Pinball.exe with /open "tablefilename" /play /exit parameters.

Seems to launch it ok, don't know if the controls work yet, haven't tried but I can't see why they wouldn't.

Mike.

I would like it to list and play like vpinmame does. So is this possible?

PLEASE HELP i love this emulator.

[Burchman82]

Dont worry about it, figured it out!

turns out MapKeys=True is a bad thing to do... it wasnt quitting the emulator properly.... made it false, and it works a charm!
