Pinball FX2 with Launchbox/Big Box

[jasonparks4]

 I hope that you can assist or perhaps point me in the right direction. I'm looking to set up Pinball FX2 within lunchbox.  I kind of feel like it's a dead issue.   Many have attempted but ultimately scrap the idea.

 Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I have it setup..What help do you need?

[jasonparks4]

Thanks in advance.  Currently I have the new Pinball platform created, I have to pointing to the Pinball FX2 exe file. I manually imported each table.  However I can't seem to figure out how to open tables individually. 

As of now when I select a table from within Launchbox ,the Pinball FX exe opens but doesn't open the individual table.

Do you know of any command lines to accomplish this? Or am I simply overthinking and overlooking something?

[rexryan]

If i remember I had that same problem..I had to get a latter version of FX2 that launched individual tables.

Make sure the "Use file name only without extension" box is checked in the Emulator Details tab of the Edit Emulator window for your Pinball FX "emulator".

No other command line parameters or anything needed.

im having the same issue yet this thread didnt answer the question, how can i set up launchbox to directly launch pinball fx game tables (and not simply go to the pinball fx main menu)? tks

[dragon57]

@rtavani, have you requested a cabinet support key from Zen Studios yet? If not, you need to either click the icon inside FX2, or go here: https://blog.zenstudios.com/?page_id=5981

i have a code, found something which was used for FX2. just a pain as you need to go into each game in launchbox to change the settings. Seems to be working now

hi, same issue guys, any help about that? i configured pinball fx2 and imported all the tables but when i start them it starts with the main screen of pinball fx2, not with the table. How can i run the table directly? help please....

And there goes Lordmonkus again with the answer!

I setup up PopCap, and Pinball in one night, mostly by referring to posts  nearly a year old now.

Thanks for being such an asset to the LaunchBox community!

it doesn't work for me, everything is set as in the picture but pinball fx2 starts with main menu...... good the same but just to tell you.

[Lordmonkus]

From my experience it all depends on which version of Pinball FX you are using, some support command line loading of tables and some don't.

[shady8knight]

Thank you for answering.

[neil9000]

Its probably been answered above, but with FX2 you need a cabinet code from the devs to load specific tables. Then just import the .pbx tables as roms setting the fx2.exe as the emulator.

[shady8knight]

thank you for answering.

Skip to 2;40 Sec   Follow step by step but use the below commandline

README: TL;DR= /open "<path to your pinball ROM>" /play /exit  

 

Thanks Raindog

 

When editing the emulator as soon above by Deejus679 make sure it is checked
