HapHzrd Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I didn't see a post directly about this, so I thought I would share. After a bit of research, I finally got Pinball FX3 setup in LaunchBox as individual tables. 1. Setup an emulator for Pinball FX3: Set the Emulator Application Path to wherever your "Steam.exe" is. Do this instead of pointing it "Pinball FX3.exe". For Default Command-Line Parameters add "-applaunch 442120 -table_". Select Don't use quotes. Select No space before ROM. Select Use file name only without file extension. Make sure the Sample Command shows up as "Steam.exe -applaunch 442120 -table_File". Like this: 2. I also like to set a "Pinball FX" Platform with a Platform Category. 3. Then just import the ".pxp" files from the Pinball FX3 Steam directory as individual ROMs. Make sure to Use the files in their current location option. That should do it. Hope that helps. 8 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Policia Malo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I am following these instructions with the latest version of Pinball FX3 Steam Version and it just launches into the main game menu not loading a table. I did request and put in the code from Pinball FX (PAC Code) Maybe something has changed in the newest versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli631 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) it will work with Pinball FX2? Edited October 11, 2018 by Eli631 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Policia Malo Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Yes I was able to find a copy of Pinball FX2 that works perfectly. The only difference I found is that in the Pinball FX3 main program many tables were locked even though I had the table files. I guess I needed to unlock all of the tables somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Policia Malo Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I just took a picture with my screen showing launchbox and the arcade controller in front of it did not even rotate it. Just know that they keep bankers hours Mon through Fri and I don't think they are in America. I got a message at 3am est. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Launchbox go to Tools>Manage emulators and edit your Pinball FX3 set-up. In the main window make sure you have the box for "No Space Before Rom (primarily for NullDC)" checked. In the steps above all 3 boxes are checked, but I think you only need the one I mentioned and the "Use file name" one. The steps in the original post work for the non-Steam version as well. Just add the PinballFX3.exe instead of Steam in your emulator set-up. Launching direclty into a table requires the "Cabinet" code from Zen Studios.

Also, is there a way to hide the mouse cursor in game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is there a way to hide the mouse cursor in game? I know you said you have the code. Is there any chance you tried 2 different codes on the same machine? I had an issue before and it turned out trying two codes on the same machine was the problem. Zen Studios had me remove everything and reinstall then use the original code. It worked, maybe something went corrupt. That was well over a year ago though. So with newer versions of PBFX that may not be an issue.

JoeViking245 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Do you have the Steam version or the one from Windows Store? I believe the one from Windows Store won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
