Un-Zipping and emulator setup

[vaderag]

I'm trying to get Future Pinball to launch tables correctly and my tables are all zipped.

If I extract a table and test it by adapting the filename then it seems to work fine, but somewhere between the unzipping process something is going wrong

Having used Rocket Launcher before it seems a major oversight is that i don't seem to have specified anywhere what the file extension that the emulator is looking for post unzipping is - do I need to do this?

Also, does the name of the file need to match the zip?

Long story short, how is LB determining what to boot?

Same issue here. Did you ever solve for this?

Honestly don't recall, and my machine is in storage right now so can't check.

I would assume not however, since I'd likely have posted my solution if i did

My advice would be to unzip your files, Launchbox has no clue as to which file in a zip is the one that actually needs to be loaded.

I've just updated my Future Pinball set, more tables updated artwork and xml included

to run tables you need the autohotkey script thing to be your fp executable, unzip the tables to their own folders in Launchbox-

-Emulators/Future Pinball/Tables and when importing search for fpt files

I've done all the work for everyone , got the tables, renamed them, compiled all the box fronts and clear logos

Everything you need including instructions is included 2600+ tables

If you're short on storage space just skip the tables downloads and get everything else, get the tables later or add your own and

use the scan for removed roms function in tools menu to get rid of non existing tables
