PBA Just black screen when launching

Hi

 

Completly new to all this and I'm just testing out software before making my cabinet build (both cab and pc). I've got PinballX working "nicely" with VP, FP and FX2, got table booting up fine with single screen so far (my eventual aim is 2 screen + pinDMD3)

But I can't for the life of me get PBA to work. The machine i'm testing on *can't* do DX11, the machine I'm going to make *will* be able too, so if thats a prerequisite I'll just have to stop the testing for now. This means I can't test with the FreeCamMod that I see lots of you use.

 

When I try to launch a table, pinballX "closes" to black screen and then it just hangs for maybe 10 seconds, then the desktop is diplayed....PBA doesn't appear to launch at all?

 

This is the case both via Steam and if I install offline outside of Steam.

 

The XML file i have is just the one that automatically generates but i've attached here...

 

This is my PinballArcade config setup...
 

[PinballArcade]
WorkingPath=C:\Pinball\PinballArcade
Executable=PinballArcade.exe
Parameters=-applaunch 238260
Process=PinballArcade.exe
WaitForSelect=50
Enabled=True
InterfaceVersion=3
 

 

I've tried with all InterfaceVersions but I don't think they are having any effect because the app just doesn't seem to execute?

 

 

Here's the log from the last time I tried to just boot Mars Attacks I think...
