[QUOTE="Pike13, post: 257253, member: 6451"] To illustrate the problem, you don't necessarily need PinballX. Or you asking how to do it for your own table? If the latter, then you can check out this PinballX forum [URL="https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/18792-pinball-arcade-direct-table-launch-with-free-camera-mod/"]post[/URL]. That was the basis for my own script that gets launched from PinballX but obviously modified it for my own situation (file locations, Steam and key mapper (for exiting with cab buttons) launched at startup, rotating the display, dmdext, etc.). I can go into more detail if you are interested. One of these days I was actually thinking about creating an installation package to automate the installation and configuration instead since I think others in my situation (VirtuaPin Min is my cabinet) might find it useful. The first time ever I have been able to reliably launch TPA from PinballX and launch the right table. While not quite as seamless as having PBX launching a VP table, it works pretty good. And then with the awesomeness of FCM, it is as close as I think we are going to get under current TPA policy. To illustrate [I]my[/I] problem a little easier, you can launch TPA normally and play a table (e.g. Attack From Mars). Then you can just open up a command prompt in Windows after any 'prep' work for your particular situation to get TPA to run, and then in the comamnd prompt type something like: TPAFreeCamMod.exe -table BlackRose Instead of the Black Rose table audio playing, you get the Attack from Mars audio playing since that is what is shown in the Recently Played button - which I suspect is what the FCM is taking over somehow to trigger launching the command line table.
