JamminJ Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 When I try to play a visual pinball game, I get kicked back to GameEx. Here's the portion of my GameEx.ini relating to pinball. Does the 'workin path' mean where the piball exe is? My roms for vpinmame are installed too, and the games play fine in windows. vpauto.exe remains in my taskbar after exiting GameEx if that matters.

Look at your "alsolaunch" line and your "command" line needs to have the exe in it. Also try show desktop to true and see if that helps.Good luckJay T [Emulator_3]Enabled=TrueStartPageName=Pinball GamesTitleText=PinballStartPageLogo=pinballRomFilter=*.vptRomsInFolders=FalseROMPath=C:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\TablesSnapPath=C:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\snapWorkingPath=C:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\TablesMapKeys=TrueWaitBeforeKeys=SendKeys=ReplaceDash=TrueReplaceUnder=TrueCapitals=TrueRemoveBrackets=TrueAlsoLaunch=C:\Program Files\GameEx\vpauto.exeShowDesktop=TrueDebug=FalseMapFile=OLDatZip=Command=..\vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMFILE]"TitlePath=C:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\snapBoxPath=LaunchBefore=LaunchAfter=CartPath=configFile=Visual PinballExcludedFiles=;Godzilla (Sega) (1998) (Kid Charlemagne & Lander) (2.1).vpt;CustomBackground=Import=Export=DumbyValue=PlayMusic=PCGame=DATABASE=GamesIn7Zips= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 The only difference I saw in the 2 that may have been the problem was your "AlsoLaunch=[apppath]\vpauto.exe", and JT's had "AlsoLaunch=C:\Program Files\GameEx\vpauto.exe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 The only difference I saw in the 2 that may have been the problem was your "AlsoLaunch=[apppath]\vpauto.exe", and JT's had "AlsoLaunch=C:\Program Files\GameEx\vpauto.exe"Yes, that has caused alot of people to get it wrong, I'll see if I can find it and fix it.Hmm can't find the original config post in user submitted configs.BTW AlsoLaunch=vpauto.exe should work fine also.

popcorrin Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Actually I think the problem he had was the working path. He had it pointing to the visual pinball folder rather than his tables folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I always thought the WorkingPath was the path to the root folder of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headkaze Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 WorkingPath is where the executable for the emulator is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcorrin Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 WorkingPath is where the executable for the emulator is located.Normally the working path is where the emulator executable is located, not the case though with visual pinball. If you take a look at the original poster's settings you'll notice that visual pinball didn't work for him until the working path was changed to the tables folder.
