Tom Speirs Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 It looks like the "working path" is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designone Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hi Tom, and thank-you for your suggestion.I changed that, it was incorrect but it is still doing the same thing. I will post my files again when I get home.I have visual pinball working but something is stopping future pinball from working.Thank-you for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginsonic Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Should the command line not be Future Pinball.exe /open "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" /play /exit ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designone Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi Ginsonic,You may be right. I was looking everywhere for an example of how it was supposed to be, but I couldn't find anything.I will try that as soon as I get home today.Thank-you for your input.

designone Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi Ginsonic,I tried that but it hasn't workedAny idea as to what it could be. It shouldn't be anything with Future Pinball that works out of Gameex without any problem.Here is my changed gameex ini and log file again.Thank-you for finding that. It might have been a problem that is now fixed but there must be something else as well.GameEx.inilog.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginsonic Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi designone,I think I know, what's wrong in here.You start FP with this command line:cmd.exe /c C: Future Pinball.exe /play "C:\Emulators\Future Pinball\Tables\Elvis Stern_1_1_night.fpt" /play /exitLet's analyze this !"cmd.exe" starts a command line process, which starts FP.The parameter /c means "terminate command process after execution", and that is the main problem ! PinballX waits for the termination of the started process (normally Future Pinball.exe) and then returns to table selection menu, BUT... the started process (and recognized process by PinballX) is the command line process (cmd.exe), which terminates immediately after starting FP, and not "Future Pinball.exe" as intended.Solution: Start FP without cmd /c, and everything should work flawlessly.best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designone Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 HiThank-you guys sooo much. it's working fine now. I removed the future pinball in slot 3 and put Dosbox there and tried it . still nothingThen I deleted the set-upe in slot one and re-installed it and then I applied the command"Future Pinball.exe" /open "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" /play /exit as suggested by Ginsonic and it works perfectly nowThank-you for all your help.
