Need help setting up Future Pinball (and a sound issue)

I am sure I've done this to myself... I jumped in and tried to make my own theme and customize too soon. FP runs fine outside GE. I've messed with a wrapper... I am now using the BAM FPLaunch (which, if you haven't seen it, youtube Bam better arcade mode, UNBELIEVABLE! but I digress). I had installed fp to programs but read that can be a problem so I moved it to emulators...

In order to make sub menus under an emulator I have Emulators 1-3 all FP with different map files. Is this the right way?

and...

I also get a stutter or something weird on the sound acknowledging select button deppressed. it occasionally sounds like a longer ship bell or even long enough to sound like feedback. Pc is 3ghz duo with 4 m ram and new nvidia 640.

I've, as my wife would say, "Monkey-fisted" a lot here, selected things I didn't really understand... I'm not proud.
