spider228 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Use rocketlauncher as the emulator and set up future pinball in rocketlauncher. Works great. Automatic table load without entering all the command line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alavigne Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) If you don't want to add Rocket Launcher I found a very easy way to do this. This forced me to go back to my old DOS days and make a batch file This is easy without doing one at a time by using a batch file to launch the games instead of the exe! once it's done you don't need to ever edit one at a time or use RL when adding new FP tables. Make a Txt file named FPlaunch.txt or whatever you want it named. Add the batch code below substituting your own path THE QUOTES ARE IMPORTANT so please make sure they are just like you see here. Save then change the extension for TXT to BAT (in my case I changed FPlaunch.txt to FPlaunch.bat) Point the Launchbox Emulator Application Path to the BAT file (in my case FPlaunch.bat) NOT to Future Pinball.exe with NO command line parameters needed. Joy!! Batch Code is as follows... add everything below this line and again substituting your own path THE QUOTES ARE IMPORTANT note the "" " (two quotes space one quote) after the start command THIS IS VITAL echo off Set FP=%1% cd "C:\Emulators\Future Pinball\tables" Start "" "C:\Emulators\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe" /open %FP% /play /exit EXIT Edited February 20, 2018 by alavigne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say 50% of the games crash when I open them but I am amusing it is the emulator. I will to download it separately as I obtained it in a pack so there might be something wrong with it. Thank you very much for posting this, it certainly works and will save me the headache of RL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alavigne Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) I had to same problems with tables crashing but it is not the launch method for me it was the video setting in the emulator. Turning off "Use Texture Compression", setting filtering to Bilinear 24 and unchecking Processor Affinity helped me. STTNG and Iron Man were giving me fits loading crashes or loading with no table art till I changed these settings. I've attached my settings image just incase there was other settings that I changed and forgot. These work best for me.

Thanks very much, my settings were already near yours but with a few different. I changed to yours and three out of six tables crashed upon testing. I will continue to fiddle with it and am happy it does generally work, thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamgt19 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) dont know if this is still an issue but i just add this script to the running script section of the emulator. it will start the table when future pinball loads. Sleep 5000 ; Wait for Future Pinball to start. (You can adjust the sleep time if Future Pinball is loading faster) send {f5} ;Start The Table that is loaded ; This section closes App when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } Edited November 23, 2022 by teamgt19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
