Help with Pinball FX2 wheel support


Layby2K

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any luck getting Pinball FX2 working in launchbox/Bigbox as a platform with table wheels?  I used to have it set up in Hyperspin as a platform wheel and each table listed individually rather than having it setup as a single steam game.

So I basically want it set up the same as the future pinball platform.  I previously used rocketlauncher to launch it via Hyperspin.

Cheers.

I don't have this to test it out.

Thanks that might help, I'll give it a go.  Only other way is to somehow create a games database for launchbox to recognise each table as a separate game the same way as future pinball.

 

Thanks everyone for your prompt assistance.

This got all the tables, but when launching, it doesn't just run the table. It puts you in the table selection screen. 

Does anyone know if there is some command line parameter or way to just go to playing with the table you launch from LB?

I scraped as Windows but that didn't work out to well. Is there a good scrape to get some art for these?

This will only work with an up to date version of Pinball FX2. Not sure what version exactly added this functionality but I know the older ones do not have it.

I don't think there is an easy scrape solution for this since a lot of the tables are DLC packs and not individual games. You are left on your own for artwork for now unless there is something over on the Hyperspin site in the wheel art packs.

It is possible to do this in Launchbox, I made this the last two days (and made a video of it here:

But... it has to be done almost completely by hand. The one advise I have is: do NOT scrape any data at all (just import and uncheck all scrape-sources), because you'll end up deleting this wrong information that's being scraped anyway. Some tables will get recognized as the wrong games, e.g. the "Rome" table gets scraped as "Rome: Total War".

Set the table names manually during the import according to this list:

As for the game media:

You can find a lot of videos, artworks etc. either on arcadepunks, emumovies or the hyperspin forums.

And here is also a good source: mega:///#!mRBAAQQY!liOSuUUOx4I-Y026ek0DJp3tFYkGH1c4bnM7ohAbBlo

 

Hope this helps.
