 +====== Setting up Pinball Wicked ======
 +
 +Black Flaggers - Steam
 +
 +Make sure you download via steam and setup PinballWicked prior to setting up in Popper.
 +
 +"note": by default you won't be able to get cab features until you ask them for a cabinet code. To get cab code, right-click in steam on PW and change under the 'betas' tab to experimental. Then go into game and under add-ons you'll need to ask for code. Once you get the code then you again go to add-ons to enable cab-mode.
 +
 +once you have PW in cabmode you can set your cab options like DMD postiion and backglass. NOTE: for me the backglass isn't working correctly with PW beta and rotation, so i set KeepDisplayON 2 for this game in game manager. Once you have everything setup with keys and everything fine outside of popper then you can add into popper.
 +
 +Go into Emulators and Add a new emulator like this: (note make sure you select SAFE RETURN checkbox!)
 +
 +{{:37ffaf39042c8319c054bcfbf13e1b0a.png}}
 +
 +under launch Setup tab you setup:
 +
 +Launch Script:
 +
 +<code>
 +Set "SteamExe="
 +Set "SteamPath="
 +For /F "Tokens=1,2*" %%A In ('Reg Query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam') Do (
 +    If "%%A" Equ "SteamExe" Set "SteamExe=%%C"
 +    If "%%A" Equ "SteamPath" Set "SteamPath=%%C")
 +
 +SET ALTPARAM=
 +if "[ALTMODE]"=="players2"  (SET ALTPARAM=2 )
 +if "[ALTMODE]"=="players3" (SET ALTPARAM=3 )
 +if "[ALTMODE]"=="players4" (SET ALTPARAM=4 )
 +
 +START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\display.exe" /device 2 /rotate 90
 +timeout 2
 +
 +cd /d "%SteamPath%"
 +START "" "%SteamExe%" -applaunch 595960
 +START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 5 1 5 "Pinball Wicked"
 +timeout 18
 +START "" "[GAMEFULLNAME]" %ALTPARAM%
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +NOTE: two things to note: i have in landscape so i had to put** /rotate 90 and /Device 2** you will need to change the device to the windows ID# , also timeout 18 (seconds) if you have a slower PC or your auto keys aren't working increase that to 25 or more to test.
 +
 +for close script:
 +
 +<code>
 +START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\display.exe" /device 2 /rotate 0
 +timeout 2
 +
 +"[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE" WINTIT "Pinball Wicked" 5 1
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +NOTE: you will also need to change the /device 2 to your playfield windows ID#
 +
 +Make a subfolder in PinUPSystem called 'OtherEmus' (without quotes). This is a place you can put one-off utils and programs like this. You can put shortcuts or one-off batch files there for future as well.
 +
 +What we are going to put in there is the macro needed for pinballWicked to navigate the PW menu. **Special thanks to "joyrider3774" for his work on the AHK/keyboard macros and the menus in PW)**
 +
 +Download this (UNBLOCK before unzip) and place files into your OtherEMUs subfolder of PinUPSystem.
 +
 +[[https://nailbuster.com/pupupdatesv14/PinballWickedMacro.zip|https://nailbuster.com/pupupdatesv14/PinballWickedMacro.zip]]
 +
 +inside zip i added the 3rd party util 'display.exe' that rotates display (i find it works well). **THIS DISPLAY.EXE SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE LAUNCH SUB-FOLDER OF PINUPSYSTEM** if you don't have a display.exe already there.
 +
 +Now go to Game Manager and scan/add new game (PinBallWickedmacro.exe). And update the game exactly like this:

 +
 +For DMDExt for real-dmd do the following changes…
 +
 +to be added by someone with a real-dmd :)
