SpaceCadetPinball Guide

1. Install the Space Cadet Pinball UWP App​

Install the .msixbundle and the included dependency file using the Xbox Device Portal.

2. Add the Game Data​

This release does not include the original Space Cadet Pinball data files.

You will need to provide your own:

  • *.DAT
  • *.WAV
  • *.MID

Place the game data in one of the following locations:

  • The app’s LocalState folder using the Xbox Device Portal file explorer.
  • An external drive using this exact path:

E:\Pinball3D\

3. Set Up LocalState​

If you want to use internal storage, you may need to launch the game once first. This allows the app to create its LocalState folder.

After launching it once, close the app. Then use the Xbox Device Portal file explorer to copy the game data into:

LocalState\SpaceCadetPinball\

4. Launch Space Cadet Pinball​

  1. Launch the app from Xbox Dev Mode.
  2. The game will check for the required data files.
  3. If the files are found, the game will start normally.
  4. If the files are missing, the app will show a startup error explaining where the files need to be placed.

Saving​
