hello all. Im trying to play the star trek ultimate pro on future pinball but it always crashes about a 1/3 of the loading line with no crash error. i downloaded it directly from the website and ran FP as administrator. Can anyone help me with this?

That is a recent SlamT1LT table and it needs BAM to run since it uses routines that are not in the normal FP.  

BAM? Im Sorry ive heard that before but dont know what it is. I see the link you sent. going to try this now. so just install this and it should run like the other FP cabinets?

OK!!! for the first time im playing star trek full screen!!!!. loading it outside of LB it plays fine. but running it through LB or BB gives me the error you see in the video. then i load it up outside and it plays fine. i just didnt show the footage of the game playing BC my recorder does'nt record windows display well. Im almost there!!! could you instruct me how to fix this? My jurassic park acts just like this as well, it just does not come up with the error "problem loading that file"

1) Why are you using custom command line arguments?

2) The filename doesn't have the .fpt extension so you aren't pointing to a valid table.

I meant a picture of the settings for Future Pinball in the Manage Emulators section.

Not sure what you unchecked,

I need to see the settings for FP in the emulator settings section. (Tools -> Manage Emulators)

Just use FPloader for both.

I still think the issue is you have somehow imported the rom folders for each table and not the table itself. Each rom should point to a table with the .fpt extension.

OK, that's good. When you had the custom config it was missing.

If you start Future Pinball, (the original, not FPLoader), if you go to preferences -> Editor settings, is the Load Image option unchecked? (it should be)

I thought maybe it was a corrupt file but if you have the issue with several tables, that's unlikely.

That some tables work and others don't leads me to believe that it could be specific features on certain tables. Maybe start Future Pinball and in the Video preferences try the minimum preset and see if the problem tables even load.

Short of that I can't think of anything else right now. If some tables work from LB we know it's not LB settings? 

100% sure you are using FPLoader for all tables and some aren't calling Future Pinball directly still?

Did you try those video changes? Those are both demanding tables. 

P.S. I love that Star Trek table. ?
