**NoSysFavs=1** //to hide system favourites auto-playlist… you would need to make your own. //

**NoSysLists=1** to hide system lists like most played/mostplayed auto-playlist… you would need to make your own.

**LaunchTimeoutSecs=60 ** (default 60 seconds). This is a timeout where Popper will auto-hide after so many seconds. For Future Pinball some tables may take much longer to load and you may want to increase to something like 150.

**JoyAxisMove=0/1** (default 0) To support joystick axis moving mapped to buttons to allow joystick analogue movement in wheelbar.

**VolumeChange=0/1 ** (default 1). v1.4.6 will change volume back to original when returning from games. You can disable it with this.

**Watchdog=0/**1 (default 0).  v1.5+ if you run cab 24/7 and notice that your media crashes and you no longer see playfield videos.  This will monitor the VLC playfield media and if there's a crash it will auto-restart popper.  (experimental)
