Zaccaria direct launch

[Ollem]

I need some help getting Zaccaria tables to launch from pinballX directly. I followed the guides here and on steam but keep running into 1 problem. Only the last game I add in steam launch options will directly launch. Ex "Combat" is my last listed -skipmenu table. If I try and play "hot wheels" the table "combat" will load. If I only add 1 table to steam launch options every table I try will load perfectly. My only issue is adding multiple tables into steam launch options. I struggled following the guides due to my lack of knowledge but eventually figured some things out. If anyone can super layman's terms the process and have the patience to go step by step that would be a life saver. Thanks for any help.

I moved this from the GameEx General forum. 

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (no copy and paste) and your zaccaria.xml file for review. Thanks.

Sounds like you are looking at old guides and information. Zacarria support is built into PinballX for a while now.

I have recently set this up and all I had to do is enable Zacarria in PinballX settings, I don't believe I did anything else a part from going through the games list disabling and enabling what I own.  Works really well.

Thanks Jimmy. Your Tables direct launch from pbx to table? Do you have parameters in pbx for zaccaria? Could you share your zaccaria pbx settings? Thanks

Not sure, but maybe this will help:

Thank you Mike. I see your parameters are different than mine. I had steam.exe -applaunch 44930. I removed the steam.exe from the parameter I had and now everything is direct launching. Thanks for sharing your file. I see it does take some time to load from pbx then goes into zaccaria menu briefly before booting up on it's own. Is this the normal? It would be nice to never see zaccaria menu but If not I'm happy

I would prefer to point to steam.exe. it will also keep your zaccaria game up to date.Note: i have installed steam into my pinball directory, instead of program files

I agree, but be aware that zaccaria is a game, and not an emulator where you load your table and launch it. Just the developer can change this behavior. It's already great that zaccaria and zen fx3 has this option. For programs like TPA there need to be a third party tool for a direct launch (or the grid select in pinballX)

Hello, i've installed Steam on my pc and have some tables of Zaccaria. With this scenario, command line works fine, if i would like to move this installation to a bartop where i have not Internet Access, have you been able to pass arguments to Zaccariapinball.exe ? Seems that is not supported.

Not sure, but thought that you could install steam and not update it on i ternet. So i stal steam on your bartop, connect to internet and install Zaccaria.

How did you get Zaccaria installed on your bartop ? 

If that is not working, you need to contact Zaccaria.

I've still not installed it on my bartop, but i read in old posts that was not possible to pass arguments to Zaccariapinball.exe. I tried on my pc and is not working, maybe there was a legal way to buy from Steam a standalone version,  that's why i asked

thanks!

You may be able to find downloads somewhere but I would question the legality since Zaccaria Pinball appears to be available through Steam, console, or smartphone distribution channels. Of course, we do not discuss where to obtain illegal versions of software here per forum rules.

The integrated support through PinballX is will likely work only for the Steam version.
