PinballX game whose table file is gone

Technical code : PINBALLX_GAME_FILE_MISSING

What it means

These games are in the frontend's list, but their table file is not in the system's tables folder: they may not start.

Why it happens

The table files were renamed, moved or deleted after the list was made, or the list spells a file name differently from the file on disk.

How to fix it

Put the table files back in that folder, or correct the file names in PinballX's game list for this system.

How Pincab Toolbox detects it

The free scanner checks the following:

For Visual Pinball and Future Pinball systems, the scan reads PinballX's game lists (Databases\<system>\*.xml) and looks, in the system's tables folder, for the table file (.vpx or .vpt, or .fpt) of each enabled game. It says nothing if none of the games is found there, or if more than half are missing (the list is then taken for a catalogue).
