How to integrate Pinball Arcade
« on: October 13, 2018, 11:20:56 AM »
Greetings friends!
I am trying to integrate Pinball Arcade to RetroFe and the truth is that I do not get it.
I attached as I have the configurations:

executable = C:\RetroFE\emulators\Pinball Arcade\PinballArcade.exe
arguments = "%ITEM_NAME%"

and:

###############################################################################
# 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
C:\RetroFE\emulators\Pinball Arcade\Resource

###############################################################################
# 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 = Rez
###############################################################################
# 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 = Pinball Arcade
###############################################################################
# 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
###############################################################################

I would like to know if any of you have tried this system and how it has been achieved.

Thank you very much to all.

I've never used it personally but from what I recall you can't directly launch into a table via command line. You would need to use the PBA FreeCamMod or an AHK script in order to do it. I may be wrong though.
