i see it now, whats your dmd size in pbx? its not distorted its super huge.

post pics need to see exactly what your referring too... also, VPX , FP and PBFX work differently, what kind of table are you having this issue on.

no worries, i'd like clarification on what that function actually does myself, i toy around with those functions whenever something doesnt show up right on a table, and sometimes those tick marks fix my issues. You can also create .rez files to resize your back-glasses on tables as well, you will have black lines on the side but it wont be squished. This is from another forum.

just add the @ @Tom Speirs Yes i see what your trying to do, which is why you would need a some thing like a 4:3 screen and then split your dmd and backglass, if you resized your BG to be above the dmd then that would solve your issue.

Yeah, your trying to do a lot with one screen, trying to double it as a marquee and a backglass. Sorry I couldn't get a solution for ya.

as you see here the pbfx logo is showing where a dmd would be if the screens were 1 solid screen, but there is a separation between the 2, so in your case the backglass would look like mine, and then avengers or pinball x video would show below. i just tested the new topper feature, i enabled it in the setting manager, went into game manager and checked hide topper and the no topper image was still there, so its more of an override feature rather than a removal.

yeah bud the issue here is that dmd is meant to be seperated on one screen without some kind of seperation line , either black or an image, and your wanting to totally make it transparent. Hopefully @Draco1962 idea will work for you. have you tried resizing your backglass size and location in pbfx2 and having the avengers title at the bottom.

try this, save this as avengers and put it in the image folder where you save the one above.

I think its more of an override and not a complete removal, i'm wondering if you made a transparency .png if that would work.

why dont you just remove the pinball x video? so nothing shows for tables that have no dmd? sorry.... pinballx/videos you will see 2 video files, remove those.

ok so if you dont have any media files for the dmd in pbfx2 whats showing up there now? the no dmd default image or an animation.

are you using a real dmd for the other tables? or are you saying you have only 2 screens playfield and backglass, and that's it? Do you have dmd files in the media folder, or is the default no dmd image showing.

need to be more specific. hide dmd in game selection or in an emulator? What emulator are you have issues with, vpx , FP, TPA , PBFX2?

are you talking about the attract mode animations? for some odd reason my setup started to crash when my FP tables animations would start up. The issue was the file format, i converted from mp4. to .avi and they started showing up again. The lingering still frame issue is not just for pbfx2 it happens with the others as well. I ended up using a script when closing to clear out the dmd as it was annoying to have the dmd freeze on a game that didnt use a real dmd.

have you tried instantsheller for win 7? try that program win pbx as your executable. the option to boot on startup in pbx is not very clean as it shows the desktop before booting into the actual software. so disable that and use instantsheller.

Try this..... 1. Open an elevated PowerShell window. To do that, type powershell in your Start Menu/Cortana’s search box, right click on the first result and click on “Run as administrator”. 2a. Type in the following command and make sure to replace the appropriate paths with your own: 2b. If you want to unblock all files within a certain folder, use this command instead: Get-childitem “full path of folder” | unblock-file e.g.: Get-childitem “C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\AwesomeFolder” | unblock-file Do this for the PBX, Future Pinball, and Bam root folders Re-run and check your log to see if that access denied disappears, make sure all of your exe, are set to run as admin.

there's a dll that you have not unblocked or a file you haven't given the correct rights. After the launch line you have Access denied. This is in my log after booting a FP table. c:\DirectOutput\DOFLinx.exe table="C:\Games\Future Pinball\Tables\spiderman 1.09 zed.fpt" close=1 15:29:21.2 4/21/2017: C:\Games\Future Pinball\BAM\FPLoader.exe /open "C:\Games\Future Pinball\Tables\spiderman 1.09 zed.fpt" /play /exit /arcaderender/STAYINRAM 15:31:32.5 4/21/2017: C:\DirectOutput\DOFLinx_FX2\DOFLinx Kill.exe 15:31:39.7 4/21/2017: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 15:31:39.7 4/21/2017: Created DirectX DMD Window 15:31:39.7 4/21/2017: Real DMD Intialized

looking at your INI, have you unblocked all of your .dlls 06:24:00.5 2017-04-19: Access is denied does this table launch perfectly outside of PBX, have you tried different tables?

good grief @Tom Speirs beast mode, TY sir.

When did this happen?

i have quit and exit emulator assigned to Q. Also ESC in the FP keys returns you to the FP editor. Also you're PBX should not be shutting down, when i am in a FP table launched through vpx there's PBX forms sitting in the background behind the table.

Not sure if anyone has this but here is the PBFX2 video fireball. If your running three screen + plus real dmd, place this in your dmd videos folder, rename file to game name, uncheck hide dmd in game manager for the game. This will show on your 3rd screen and during attract and game play. Sorcerer's_Lair.mp4

Works great with Hack off as well. log.txt

OK Tom, That did it.... New exe, other system type set to visual pinball, hack is on. That Registry key was set to 1388, changed to zero. log.txt

yes that is enabled in VPX. I am disabling and enabling the hack in PBX only.
