Really appreciate all the help I've received on this forum so figured I'd make a couple download links to share of all the images I acquired to use in Launchbox for Visual Pinball & Future Pinball. A couple hundred backglass + cabinet pictures from various pinball tables. I spent MONTHS searching around for all these, and not all are perfect quality, but are the best I could possibly find...Most are decent I believe..Hope some of you can make use of them. Also, I can't remember where I got my wheel images, but for those needing them, doing a search should pull up a couple sites that have packs of 1000's (intended for Hyperspin I think, but are fine for LB) Steve https://www.sendspace.com/file/uq1k60 https://www.sendspace.com/file/qakwi5

Anyone have any experience with this? You can't set nudge controls to the arcade joystick I own for Visual Pinball, only an analogue stick apparently...So I installed it & set the buttons to control all the keys I wanted to & the stick for the nudge, but I can't figure out how to let Visual Pinball actually use the controls on tables, let alone Launchbox... It still reads my old joystick configuration. Any advice would be appreciated

Not rly many tutorials from what i remember, but this member's advice made it easy to run...just enter in what he did in the screenshot in this thread, in the edit details tab & u should be good for VP to run ur games right from the wheel with no BS. Never even needed Rocket Launcher after all All I need now is to figure out how to use Joy 2 Key to run & use my joystick to control VP when I start it...setting all controls alone work well with the joystick alone, but not nudge which is crucial...apparently nudge can only be set to an analogue stick within VP, which my arcade stick is not.. And as far as the images, if u want them I will try to make a RAR with them all by later next week to send u

I have the backglass images for all pinball tables I have set as the fanart backgrounds for when I scroll thru my game list.... Any way to have the whole image shown or centered instead of having them cropped to fill the screen? Thankis

I have a couple hundred backglass & cabinet images I spent a painful amount of time gathering from the web, If you or anyone else would like em, I could make a d/l link when I get some time..there was also a site I came across with tons of wheel art I could try to find again

NOO WAYYY.....Just entered that in & tried a couple tables in VP9 & seemed they opened right up...well, one I haven't played yet still showed that annoying "Do you legally own this table" popup that I still had to use the mouse for, but that was it..Seems once u play a game this doesn't show anymore, wish there was a way to disable that msg altogether...anyways THANKS SOOOOO much, never imagined it would be as easy as filling in that section in the edit emulator menu

So enter that in the custom command line parameter box of each individual game you're saying should get it to work? If so that'd be very time consuming, but better than nothing I suppose EDIT: Tried this with a couple games in the command line parameter box under the emulation tab, and not working..keep getting "error loading" message when I click the games

Future Pinball is working, because I downloaded a special version of it a member here made strictly for Launchbox so it would automatically play games...VP, no such luck..&all anyones ever told me so far was I'd have to use Rocketlauncher

No I mainly use it for MAME, and with the help of some members, didn't have much trouble setting that up. Might add a console or 2 that I don't collect for IRL & I'm sure it will be pretty much the same steps so I'm not too worried But pinball was my 2nd priority to use within LB...and from what I was told there is no choice but to use Rocketlauncher to get Visual Pinball working. In just Launchbox alone, clicking on a game in the wheel does nothing but open up the Visual Pinball app in another window...and not even the game is selected, you still have to go through VPs menu to find the game, hit play, etc.....which means putting down my arcade joystick & fooling with the keyboard again..not what i expected when I bought BB. I mean it's pretty much pointless to use LB for VP, only function it serves is letting you look at your pinball artwork

I've watched a few of the tutorials & basically gave up. Way too frustrating & time consuming getting VP working in LB. And none of them are pinball specific...So confusing considering there are so many different versions of emulators needed for VP not to mention Future Pinball & the fact Launchbox just lumps them all together as "PINBALL" Shouldn't have to use Rocketlauncher in the 1st place, I bought BB expecting to run games on whatever emulators I want. This kinda sucks...and I'm guessing there's so few ppl concerned with pinball out there, it's no priority to get working

Future Pinball seems to work fine after using a modified .exe a member shared, but VP is hopeless. Click on a game from the wheel & all that happens is VP itself opens up. Apparently there is some way to make it work with Rocketlauncher, but just way too complicated being there are multiple VP versions & there are just no pinball specific tutorials for RL + LB Was expecting to load up pinball tables with ease in LB & was one of the reasons I purchased it. Be nice if it will become a feature soon. After spending an excruciating amount of time getting all the artwork & video snaps for my 200 or so tables, I just gave up. Can't afford to waste any more time trying to get everything to work & came to the conclusion I just have to use the VP emulators seperate to play

Ohhh ok good..thx...Guess I shoulda tried that before I posted here, but I was sure that wasn't an option I saw come up when highlighting & selecting to edit lol

Was explained to me recently by some members that Visual Pinball will work within Launchbox with Rocketlauncher so in the process of trying to learn how to set it up. From what I've gathered so far, I'd have to re-add all my VP roms into LB & then assign RL as the emulator for them...The thing is I've already spent a PAINFUL amount of time tagging all of them with the correct table name (they all came up as the filename in LB), the year of release & the manafacturer, all fields that were empty. Certainly do not want to do this again. Any way I can keep all the info or just change the emulator they're set up to use at the moment (VP) to RL?? Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks alot for all the response...Haven't had a chance to watch any of the suggestions yet, but will soon

Supposedly I need this to run Visual Pinball tables the right way from LB Before I go scouring the internet, can anyone point me to some tutorials that might help me out there or tell me the right order of steps I need to take to make this happen?...if it's not too complicated that is Greatly appreciate it

Want to try that, have to figure out how to use it & set it up within LB I guess...VAGUELY remember using it when I briefly tried Hyperspin, but barely remember

THANKS A MILLION FOR THIS! FP seems to be working OK in LB now Now Visual Pinball on the other hand, all trying to play a game in LB from the wheel does is open VP itself....causing me to have to put down my arcade stick, pick the keyboard back up & navigate through VP's menu to find & play the game & go through all the steps...Very let down there doesn't seem to be a way to utilize LB with VP.

Future Pinball seems to be working OK within LB, after I found a modifed Future Pinball exe that a member posted on here, desgined to get the games to auto play when selecting them Visual Pinball though, all selecting a game on the wheel & pressing play does is open VP itself, requiring me to grab my keyboard & use the touchpad to go through it's menu, select the game in there & take the other steps to get it to run Very dissapointed...I spent hours & hours the past couple weeks getting tables & all the images/vids needed to have a nice setup for LB & play them with my new arcade stick, but looks like it was kinda pointless. I was sure I ran into an old thread that said VP should start the games in LB w no problem, unlike FP that needed the special emulator or scripts to achieve I doubt a whole lot of ppl worry about pinball on here, but if anyone who does knows some way I could actually get these to work or at least if LB would be more pinball emulation friendly, I'd appreciate all feedback Steve

Believe I saw somewhere at least Future Pinball was possible, not sure about VP Could anyone send me some links or give me tips on setting these up? Haven't played either one of these in couple years, but now that my months & months of LB/BB customization for MAME is coming along, would love to have these in there soon as well & set up all art/videos, etc Thanks again in advance to any advice & greatly appreciate all I've gotten so far here on this forum

Yea I noticed some thread other day where some guy had the nerve to come on here & claim he "bought" a license from someone for a couple bucks I REALLY do not like the fact my name is shown on the menu tho, be cool if it could just be hidden even

Unfortunately, yes

I've seen couple posts regarding this in the past, and from what I remember, the only option then was to e-mail the developer to set up another name. Is that still the case? If so can someone fill me in on how to contact him about this? For the most part I love LB & I don't mean to come on here & complain some more, but that is a pretty bad idea IMO. No other software I can think of constantly displays my full name for all to see. I was even planning to bring laptop, arcade stick & Launchbox over a get together to have some fun, but sorry don't need to be sharing my name with everybody over the house

Well guess I'm wrong, but I was under the impression this was an offical forum ran by the creators & team of Launchbox. If I'm not mistaken when I first came on here I noticed alot of replies from the main developer himself...So IDK paying for software & believing there was an official forum to get help on for it, don't see how that would be so far fetched for someone to have a little sense of "entitlement" there

Well turns out they're not now...but on my backup hard drive they still are...which is weird because I copied every single folder over exactly the way I had it, but somehow they were deleted after I reinstalled LB?? I will try to copy them over & see if that works. Not sure if there's an import function I have to select, but will try to figure it out . Thanks

I appreciate that & sometimes I've gotten some good help on here, but quite few times I've never even gotten a response...This was fixed with the other poster's advice but this is the main problem I'm dealing with now that I really hope someone can help me resolve:
