FX3 problems via Pinup Popper Frontend.

[namine]

So I own about a good amount of FX3 tables (minus Williams/Bally Volumes 1, 2, 3, Universal Monsters and Indiana Jones: Pinball Adventures), however, when I try to test them out on my PC (Intel Core i7-44700 CPU, 12GB Ram, 256GB HDD (with 60+GB left)), it doesn't go to the main table that I choose, it goes to the main menu instead of the main table I want to play.

 

How can I fix this? Thanks again.

The issue might be in your emulator config start script for FX3.   Here is mine for reference...........

 

@echo off


rem remove next two rem to use or setup DMDEXT for FX3
rem cd /d "%PopperInstDir%\VisualPinball\VPinMAME"
rem start /min "" "dmdext.exe" mirror --source=pinballfx3 -q -d auto --virtual-hide-grip --virtual-position=x y w -o PinUP\[GAMENAME]

rem remove the next two rem lines to setup PUpDMD for FX3
cd /d "%PopperInstDir%\VisualPinball\VPinMAME"
start /min "" "PUPDMDControl.exe" FX3 PINUP\[GAMENAME]

SET ALTPARAM=
if "[ALTMODE]"=="classic"  (SET ALTPARAM=-class )
if "[ALTMODE]"=="hotseat2" (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_2 )
if "[ALTMODE]"=="hotseat3" (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_3 )
if "[ALTMODE]"=="hotseat4" (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_4 )



START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 5 5 20 "Pinball FX3"

START "" "[DIREMU]\steam.exe" -applaunch 442120 %ALTPARAM% -table_[GAMENAME]

 

 

 

 

When I set this up I used Nailbuster's video to config everything.  If the above doesn't help, i'd advise doing a complete re-config based on his video:
