Hello All!

My first post here! I am in the process of making a cab that I can play all the South Park pinball and pc games. I have managed to launch the pc games in PinUp Popper. However, they are currently launching in the wrong orientation. I have read some threads mentioning using display.exe to rotate them in start and end scripts. Is this still the most viable option?

My main reason for posting today is to inquire about using my main playfield (after rotating it) to play games like Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. To fill this black void area above and below the game is it possible to add an overlay to main playfield.

If none of these are possible I guess I would need to use my backglass to play these games.

Thanks in advance for any help and it is absolutely amazing the support of this community!

display.exe would be the way If you want to rotate the screen within popper, advantage:this is independent of the used game emulator. Disadvantage: doesn't work outside of popper.

I use MAME64 as game emulator. It has The numerous setting options for the screens.

your one-line description is not sufficient to help you for a solution. Describe more detailed what you want to do.

Popper doesn't matter which program to run. You can run winword using popper.

look the exmaple for rudementary pc-game emulator in popper.

here the launchscript:

rem          PC GAMES.
rem          - for PC Games, you need to specify what each game "TITLE" is called in the "Custom Launch Parameter" in "Games Manager" for every PC Game.
rem          -[CUSTOM1]  is the "Custom Launch Parameter" in "Games Manager" for your selected game.
START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 1 10 30 "[CUSTOM1]"
rem          LAUNCH PC GAMES. This will launch your PC game using either a shorcut (lnk) or a BAT file, depending on what you setup in the emulator settings.
START /WAIT "" "[GAMEFULLNAME]"

 

and the closesrcipt:

"[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE" WINTIT "[CUSTOM1]" 10 1

 

create a new emulator and adapt the script to your needs
