Visual Pinball - Exit Emulator back to Hyperspin

[symplistik]

Hey guys!

My problem is once I have a Visual Pinball table open via Hyperlaunch exiting back to the hyperspin wheel. Even when you exit Visual Pinball it continues to run in the background. I need a fix so i can one key exit from Visual Pinball back to the hyperspin wheel without also needing a confirm exit window. Anybody out there that can help would be greatly appretiated.

if you are using vp 9.21 or above you need to:

go to Preferences --> keys :

look for "Disable ESC key" make sure you have a check next to it.

when you launch a VP table OUTSIDE of Hypespin; you will have to hit the "Q" to exit the table. you will still need the confirm exit window.

when you launch a VP table INSIDE of Hyperspin; you will exit the table with the key(s) defined in hyerplaunch. And yes the confirm exit window will be gone.

I am using vp 9.15 so this did not work for me. Other suggestions?

you need to upgrade to at least version 9.2.1 the majority of tables that are being released lately only run on VP 9.9.0

I have 3 versions installed in my system, given that some tables need to run on a specific version.

9.2.1, 9.9.0 and physicsmod5

if you insist on using such an old outdated version

open HyperlaunchHQ

click global system

click on the Modules tab

select the Visual Pinball Module

look for the icons under the "Installed Modules" tab

click on the 3rd from the right "Edit Global Module Settings"

in the settings tab

set

EscClose = True

ShowDMD = True

ValidateDMDLaunch = False

UpdateDefaultDMD = Flase

Excellent info and detailed walk thru! thank you very much. I followed this exactly step by step but did not solve the issue. Hyperlaunch esc (mine are set for ~1 & ~2) keys still do not work. It still makes me use the default "E" key and still has a confirm to exit window.

EDIT: I have upgraded to 9.2.1 but the problem continues...

some people did not have to change the module settings

others had different settings, you might need to modify them and see if anything changes

disabling ESC in Visual Pinball should work for version 9.2.1, you should try to change your ~1 & ~2 back to the default ESC to see if that is the problem.

and I hope you are using the Hyperlaunch version 3.0.1.1 and VP module 2.0.1

I am using the Hyperlaunch and VP Mudule above. I will try again once i get home from work. Sometimes you just need to walk away for a bit and come back with a fresh unfried brain. Thanks for all you help guys! I will update on my progress and if i get it sorted out.

Update: Just got home and managed to get it all sorted out! Turns out it requires a long button press to exit and close VP. about seconds. Thanks again guys!
