Game Wheel Options

Hide unconfigured games: Check this box if you don't want unconfigured games to be displayed in the main game wheel list by default.

PinballY always searches the "Tables" folder for each system to find all game files, whether or not you've set up the bibliographic information (title, manufacturer, year) and whether or not you've added any media items for the game. Normally, PinballY shows all of these files in the game wheel list. Games that haven't been configured yet are easy to spot because they use default background images and just show the raw filename in place of a title.

The point of showing the unconfigured items in the main list is to make setup easier, by letting you see at a glance exactly which games need your attention in terms of entering bibliography data or downloading media. However, you might prefer to hide these when you're just playing, or when you're showing off your cab to friends. Check this box to keep them out of the main list.

When the box is checked, you can still view all of the unconfigured games at any time, by selecting "Show Unconfigured Games" from the Operator Menu. That switches to a filtered list showing only the unconfigured items.

Note you can also explicitly hide individual games, using the "Hide Game" command in the Game Setup menu (reachable from the Operator Menu). You can use this to remove listings for files that you don't even intend to set up in the future, such as old backup copies or testing copies.

Underlay sizing: These settings control the layout of the underlay image. All of these sizes are expressed as percentages of the window height. You can enter the values with "%" signs, and they're shown that way for clarity, but the "%" signs aren't required; it doesn't affect the interpretation if they're omitted.

See Underlay for more details on the underlay feature.
