Pinball FX2 Supported?

[tanman81]

Hi Jason,

Sorry if this was answered in a recent forum post.  Just wondering if Launchbox/Big Box supports/will support Pinball FX2 tables (pxp files)?  I remember reading a while back that users were manually adding these to their menus.  I'm hoping there is a more automated method.

Thanks!

There is no automated way right now but I suppose it is possible to add at some point.

But since you can just add the pxp table files like any other rom I don't really see a need to automate it further, it's pretty simple to add them now as it is.

I have added all the pxp table files.  The big time save would be in the associated media files (screenshots, movies, etc), and also for the front end to launch a particular table.  At the moment, playing a table only launches Pinball FX2 - the user still needs to select which table to play.

Ok well that's just a database thing rather than a Launchbox specific thing.

This depends on which version of Pinball FX you are using, some older versions don't support command line loading of specific tables and some newer ones do, I have no idea if the latest versions do or not but I can't imagine them removing that feature once it was added in. Make sure the "Use file name only" box is checked in the the edit emulator window.
