Will not boot game from 32 bit vpx

[DannyDodge]

Hey guys i recently upgraded to 64 but,  i only have a couple pup packs tables so i set it up to boot those on the 32bit vpx from Poppers alt launcher section, but no matter what i do it will not work, it always launches in 64 and this the tables don’t work right

 

anyone have any problems with this?

 

 

i put the exe name in lookups,  then select it from the alt launcher drop down for the tables

maybe change your start up script for vpx to use the new feature then it works perfect

 

@echo off
START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 30 10 60 "Visual Pinball Player" 2
cd /d "[DIREMU]"

rem Change the following to EnableTrueFullScreen to default FullScreen Exclusive!
SET FSMODE=DisableTrueFullScreen

SET VPXEXE=vpinballx.exe

if "[RECMODE]"=="1" (SET FSMODE=DisableTrueFullScreen )
if /I "[CUSTOM1]"=="NOFSX" (SET FSMODE=DisableTrueFullScreen )
if NOT "[ALTEXE]"=="" (SET VPXEXE=[ALTEXE] )

START /min "" %VPXEXE% "[DIREMU]" -%FSMODE% -minimized -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"

if %FSMODE%==DisableTrueFullScreen (START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\PopperKeepFocus.exe" "Visual Pinball Player" 10)

Ok cool, do I copy all this and just drop it in over old?

Been searching for this answer for a couple of days and updating the VPX launch script in popper as described solved my issue.

I have been searching for a while as well.  I gave up on it back in the summer and decided to do more research lately and I found this.  It worked for me as well!!

 

Thanks!!
