Bill, (or anyone who knows)

I watched your videos of Hyperpin and I noticed that your Future Pinball game tables fill your entire LCD monitor, left to right and top to bottom. How are you able to do that? I tried different option in video options but I can't find the setting that does that.

Thx!

This is being done by using the "arcade render" mode that is built into the new Future Pinball version. I think that the tables have to be modified as well to use this mode.

onceit's set to arcade mode in video prferences. It's a simple Screen adjustment for scale and position just like adjustin any monitor screen position. To get the arcade mode to show up in the video settns just add this switch on to the shortcuts target line:"E:\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe" /arcaderender The screen adjustment menu comes up by pressing scroll lock once a table is loaded.
It really is nice to play in this view.

Hi guys, i'm looking at the preferences > video / rendering options right now....i dont see an option for arcade renderer / arcade mode at all. Where is it? I'm using FP version 1.9 too.

When i try to add arcade renderer to the FP shortcut i get this error:
The name "C:\Program Files\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe" /arcaderenderer specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure path and file name are correct.

UPDATE:
ok....i got i got it to add to the shortcut....but for some reason the arcade mode button doesn't show up next to full screen.
i found what it should look like on this post

here is my shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\Future Pinball\Future Pinball.exe" /arcaderenderer

Vallequion...are you using Vista?

I found that if you have 'User Account Control' turned OFF (in control panel under User Accounts ) that the Scroll Lock will not work with the /arcaderender method.

You have to have it turned ON and make sure that /arcaderender is on your FP shortcut.

Yes, I get that annoying box always asking if you will allow FP to run or not when 'User Account Control' is ON but after making the scroll lock adjustments and saving the table I assume you can go back and turn the User Accounts setting back OFF again....

At least this is how it worked with me using Vista 64

Vista is a pain. I downgraded because of this problem. The solution should be to run FP as administrator.
