Empty "Parameters" setting in PinballX

Technical code : PINBALLX_VP_PARAMETERS_EMPTY

What it means

Forum users report that Visual Pinball opens without the table, or loads no game, when this setting is empty.

Why it happens

In the cases published on forums, the setting had been erased by mistake. It holds the start options PinballX hands to Visual Pinball.

How Pincab Toolbox detects it

The free scanner checks the following:

The scan reads Config\PinballX.ini. For an enabled Visual Pinball system whose "Parameters" value is present but empty, it reports this. Nothing is changed.
