Future Pinball Controls

[celly]

I don't understand why my controls aren't working in Future Pinball. I've used 2 different ways to set up FB on GameEx and all have failed. I've used the SetupWizard and the filled in the blacks with FB as an emulator and the controls didn't work. I deleted the SetupWizard FB and tried with just plain old GameEx Advanced Config and the controls still didn't work. The tables load fine, all my art is there, screens, everything. Just can't get any controls working. Any ideas?

Controls aren't being remapped or anything? Please post your config.

Sorry took so long to reply back. When the weather is bad, my work picks up . Anyway the controls aren't being mapped the ESC key is the only thing that works. Even on my keyboard.

I've tried with "Show Desktop" enabled and disabled, still nothing works. Works like a champ outside of GameEx.

Run a table and then exit. Then exit out of gameex and run the runitgame.bat file and see if it works then. Then we can eliminate some possibilities.

Ok skip, I'm on it now.

EDIT: I tried a few times with runitgame.bat and out of the 6-7 times I did it, the controls worked once.

Ok. Well that definitely proves that it's not GameEx. It's the command-line which looks fine on this end. I suggest downloading that emulator from the direct source and try setting up again and see if anything helps. I have that exact version and all is workin on my end.

That's the crappy thing about it, once I noticed it wasn't working, I reinstalled it and then reconfigured it in GameEx. The only thing that has changed was my resolution, I really don't think that can cause this to not work. I'll try the old uninstall/reinstall reconfigure game again.

EDIT: It was my resolution. Future Pinball was still set at 1024 x 786 and my display was set to 800 x 600. Only tried it since nothing else seemed to work. It fixed it.

Glad you got it sorted out. Good to know for future reference for people if they ever run into the same issue.
