Future Pinball Tables - How to organize them for GameEx?

[Cero21]

Anyone know how to make a file structure for future pinball tables that GameEx can read and understand. It seems a lot of the tables I downloaded have a sound file with them (I'm assuming these are custom sounds) which are all named the same thing, EMSounds.fpl

Therefore, I can't put all the table files in the same dir so I overwrite EMSounds.fpl with every table. Putting the tables in individual folders makes it so they won't show up in the GameEx list.

Any help?

I ran into the same thing - I believe that the EMSounds.fpl file is the same for every table so you only need one copy of the file. I looked at my directory and I only have the one EMSounds.fpl file and my tables work fine. I would try just having one copy of the file and run the tables to see what happens. Hope this helps..

Yeah, they work fine in one directory but each EMSounds.fpl files add specific sounds for that particular machine. So by only having 1 EMSounds.fpl means you are missing all the specific sounds for many machines.

Can GameEx search for roms that are within directories in the roms path directory?
