Problem with the Future Pinball tables
« on: February 22, 2018, 09:17:25 PM »
First of all I want to congratulate you and thank you for this wonderful front-end.

I have a problem with Future Pinball when it comes to loading the game tables.
When I select any of them, the emulator opens in a window and does not load the table. It may be a silly mistake since I am starting with the RetroFe and I consider myself very new but I would like you to help me with this problem.
Attachment confg. How I have the roms:

###############################################################################
# The location of where your ROM items exist. Examples:
# list.path = D:/ROMs/MAME                (absolute path)
# list.path = ../ROMs/MAME                (relative path to root of FE dir)
#
# If BASE_ITEM_PATH=D:/ROMs and the name of this collection is named "Nintendo
# Entertainment System" then the configuration below will search in
# "D:/ROMs/Nintendo Entertainment System"
###############################################################################
#list.path = %BASE_ITEM_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\roms
list.path = C:\RetroFE\emulators\Future Pinball\Tables
list.includeMissingItems = false
list.extensions = fpt
list.menuSort = yes

###############################################################################
# If a game is specified in include.txt then it will be included in the list
# regardless of if the rom actually exists or not. Set this variable to false
# to exclude any items that cannot be found.
###############################################################################
list.includeMissingItems = true

###############################################################################
# Extensions are comma separated without spaces
###############################################################################
list.extensions = fpt

###############################################################################
# If a menu.xml file exists, it will display the menu alphabetically. To
# not auto-sort the menu items alphabetically, set the following to false.
# This does not apply to how your ROMs are sorted.
###############################################################################
list.menuSort = true

###############################################################################
# The executable to run when an item in a collection item is selected
###############################################################################
launcher = Future Pinball

###############################################################################
# Default media paths to scan for artwork. Uncomment and edit to override
# the default values.
#
# media.screenshot    = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/screenshot
# media.screentitle   = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/screentitle
# media.artwork_back  = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/artwork_back
# media.artwork_front = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/artwork_front
# media.logo          = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/logo
# media.medium_back   = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/medium_back
# media.medium_front  = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/medium_front
# media.screenshot    = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/screenshot
# media.screentitle   = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/screentitle
# media.video         = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%/%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%/medium_artwork/video
###############################################################################

And the launcher configuration:

executable = C:\RetroFE\emulators\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe
arguments = --batch --exec "%ITEM_FILEPATH%"

Thank you very much in advance!

I'm not familiar with FP, but I had a quick Google, and perhaps the following as argument may work:
/open "%ITEM_FILEPATH%" /play /exit
