You also need to use this launcher script instead of the game's exe to launch the game. I will not provide an executable so you will have to compile the script yourself using autohokey and adapt where needed. I tried documenting the script a bit and you will need to change a few values depending on your system (like keyboard shortcuts remapping) and possibly the timeout value for launching the game and becomming visible.

I found a way around it by using a different button than escape inside to send escape a few times so it first cancels input, then cancels the high score list then brings up the main menu (so 3x escape) and then pressing enter to play again so it works like a restart button. One last nasty thing the game has is high score entering screen, you can not input anything using the flipper buttons, the game only accepts Escape to cancel the dialog but this posed a problem as i also use escape with pinballx to quit a game. I also remapped keyboard controls as the game buy default comes with no keyboard remapping and no support for joypads as far as i'm aware (although you can use steam input remapping to make a joypad work by assigning keyboard keys to your joypad inside steam input config).

The script works by accepting 1 (table) parameter and then it launches the games, waits for the game to become visible / active and then in the menu it will first move left about 16 times so i know i'm on the 1st table and then depending on the table parameter move right X Number of times to select the correct table.
