[RESOLVED] TPA config for PinballX

[bent98]

I now have Mame, Pinball FX2 setup perfectly. TPA is kicking my butt. I download the setup guide from http://pinballarcadefans.com/showthread.php/10732-FreeCameraMod-with-backglass-support-Setup-Guide

The issue I am having is pinball X is not rotating the PF monitor to allow the FreeCamera Mod to work. Is there something I am missing. I configured the pinball X they way it states to in the guide. Do I follow that or do I have  to use Nuke Launcher (Which I havent downloaded)

I am running it within the integrated TPA support, but without the FCM enabled, so I would like to see how this is configured as well. My understanding is that Nukelauncher for TPA is not required.

How does the integrated TPA support work? Is there a guide?

Try reading this topic:

 

It talks all about the integrated TPA support.  If you want to use the "integrated" support that Pinball X has for TPA that will "auto-rotate and select your game automatically", you need to set it up with the "Pinball Arcade" system (like Future Pinball, and Visual Pinball). If you set it up as Other System, then Pinball X will NOT auto-rotate your playfield.

The "autorotate and game selection" via Pinball X "does" work, but it caused an issue for my specific setup (which is not like most people's...read the link".

So I went with Ginsonic's method which works perfect for me. Read the whole topic for more info.

I am having same issue as Cab System. Launches but doesnt select the proper table. It just selects the first table on the TPA scroll list. In my case is adams family.

I went ahead and merged your post in Cab System's thread back into this thread since this TPA troubleshooting thread active. This will help us to better address they issues you are encountering with PinballX and TPA with less confusion.

That said, can you provide a copy of your Pinball Arcade.xml file? Thanks!

I had the same issue but only the first time I try to launch TPA after first loading Pinball X. If I exited TPA back to Pinball X, and tried again, it worked fine and selected the correct table. Not sure why...

I could get it to work properly so instead I just used the other system config so pinball x wouldnt try and send keystrokes to select the game. Its a more manual process but at least I am in control what table gets selected.

OK, will mark this as resolved. Thanks for reporting back!
