====== 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!)

under launch Setup tab you setup:
Launch Script:
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%
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:
START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\display.exe" /device 2 /rotate 0
timeout 2
"[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE" WINTIT "Pinball Wicked" 5 1
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.

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:
