Can you attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files in reply to this thread?  Thanks. 

[britxpatusa]

Thx Draco,

 

here you go..

log.txt

PinballX.ini

 

I reinstalled rocketlauncher: 

the correct path is D:\Files\Rocketlauncher...so the screen shot is incorrect.

anyone car to help pls?

Unfortunately I do not run Rocketlauncher from PinballX. The error image you posted looks like a Rocketlauncher error message to me, or at least I have not ever seen one like it from PinballX.

I would ask the RocketLauncher people, that's most certainly not a PBX issue.

is there another way to launch PC games from PinballX?

im looking at windows store games:

crossy road

disney crossy road 

these a great games for children and suite my pinball/arcade hybrid.

thx

Have you considered running GameEx Arcade and PinballX both on the same machine? You may find some options with GameEx a little easier to manage.

rocket launcher and PinballX don't get along nicely.

I tried to use it because I don't like to have multiple media folders for all the VP versions.

but that's another story,   a "Database Not found" error is usually generated when you don't set a default front-end on your Rocketlauncher Settings.

thanks, yes this is what i have read and i have changed and tried all sorts.....frustrating.

ive even build a vmware windows 10 build and put pinballX and Rocketlauncher on it with nothing else and same error. im sure its just s pointer somewhere to the XML.

thanks for replying!

no but sorta defeats the objective to have one system, and my kids use it so want it super easy....:-)

i know if can be done as a TerryRed has done this....and a few others....hoping they will chime in and help

[Draco1962]

Have you gone through his thread from state to finish?

 

[britxpatusa]

sure did...yes and followed the links etc.....hence the frustration....

thanks for the pointer...

[britxpatusa]

so....i have made progress....i can get the games to startup: crossy road.the xml error is no longer.

I changed the folder structure and it worked for some reason.

 only thing is pinballX is still there.....when the game loads...

onwards and upwards....
