Start MAME / Launchbox from PinballX? (And play lightgun games on the VP backglass monitor)?

[Almodo]

Hi everybody! My project is to do the following:

I want to play lightgun games on the backglass monitor of my Virtual Pinball cabinet. This could be either MAME (games like Point Blank or Area 51) or the DEMUL emulator (games like House of the Dead 2 or Sports Shooting USA). I want to put my new Sinden lightgun to good use!

My simple question is: How do I do that? Ideally, I would start up PinballX and it gives me the choice between Visual Pinball and Launchbox, from where I would start up the lightgun games (using the pincab buttons), and the games would appear only on the backglass monitor.

Honestly speaking, I have (almost) no idea how to accomplish that. Of course, in the PBX Settings Manager there is the option to launch a custom game system beside Visual Pinball, but what would I have to fill into the blank Lines, especially with the "tablefile" command?

If somebody with more expertise could help me out here I would be most grateful since I know I'm not the only one who wants to play MAME or other video games on their pin cab.

Thank you so much in advance, any help is appreciated.
