Is there any way to either:

- Launch just the Pixelcade Listener - without launching FX3
- Launch Pixelcade Launcher and FX3 - directly into a table using an argument

I'm trying to get this to lay nicely with Launchbox while launching directly into a FX3 tables.

- Launch just the Pixelcade Listener - without launching FX3

pixelcade listener is easy , that's just pixelweb.exe which you'll find in the pixelcade folder but that won't do anything for pinball so I think what you mean is an .exe that will kill the pixelcade listener and launch dmdext.exe (which fx needs) but not launch FX3, correct? Yes I have an .exe for this and can throw that into an installer update

for the command line, that's a good idea, others can probably use this, let me see if I can made this mod.

So the current launch command is this:

Run, steam://rungameid/442120

so is it just a matter of adding

Run, steam://rungameid/442120 "game name" ?

can you give me a few examples just so I'm getting it? keep in mind any game name with a space will need to be enclosed in double quotes

so from a little googling, it seems like this is what is needed:

Run, steam://rungameid/442120 "-WMS_Junkyard"

change to a different table name if needed but try that manually and if that works, then I can automate this, thx

completely untested but you can give this a shot

https://pixelcade.org/updates/pixelcade-dmd-beta.exe

in that new installer, you will find:

pinballfx3nosteam.exe (there is no an icon for it but it'll be there in the install folder)
pixelcade-pinballfx3.exe (new version that will accept a param) so use like this:

pixelcade-pinballfx3.exe "WMS_Medieval_Madness"
or
pixelcade-pinballfx3.exe "-WMS_Fish_Tales"

I have not tested though so let me know how it goes
