Thanks Scutters, that might have done it. Yesterday I went back through game settings and just checked/unchecked things and what not. Not exactly sure what I did, but it seemed to fix itself. I just checked my current .ini file and that line is now at False, so that most likely is what was doing it, but I'm not positive.

Thanks Tom, but I'm not confusing them. There is nothing for 90% of my tables in Pinball X for the DMD, I have a few low quality videos for some of them though. In Pinball X, Game Manager, everything is set to hide except Toppers on some tables (since I have videos for those). Show Backglass = Hide, Show DMD = Hide etc. It 100% is someone loading the ACTUAL standard non Freezy DMD when launching from Pinball X, even though the Rom has it unchecked. The Freezy external DMD is loading as well, it's just "under" the standard DMD. It's definitely very very weird. This only started happening once I changed all my tables to use the external Freezy DLL and colorized dmds. I'd say it was a bug there, but things play fine when launching straight from VPX or Even Popper, so it's definitely a Pinball X thing.

Thanks I'll give that a shot. I'll backup all the media and such just in case.

Oh geez, I don't even remember what I chose when I installed it. Is there an easy way to install Pinball X as 32bit at this point without losing all of my media and files and such?

Having issues with Pinball X and color DMD's using a virtual DMD (lcd screen). I updated all my tables with the files in the altcolor folder and launching them from VPX everything is perfect. However, for a reason I can't figure out, when I launch the table from Pinball X, the color DMD is covered by the standard DMD even though it is not set to display. If I right click the DMD (or hit F1), it shows "show/dmd display window: UNCHECKED", if I click ok, even without changing anything, it disappears and I can see the color DMD normally. However it happens each time when relaunching the game from Pinball X. Latest SAMbuild, Freezy DLL as of two weeks ago. I've set/reset like a million times in VpinMame, but it seems to be ignoring those options on table load. Is there some special launch command I need to update or something in Pinball X? I'm running Exclusive FullSCreen in VPX if that matters and even tried the setting in PBX settings for "Exclusive fullscreen hack" and it didn't change anything. Here are the key settings in the Game Options: F1 Game Options: -Show/DMD Display Window: UNCHECKED -Use External DMD (dll): CHECKED -Colorize DMD (4 colors) CHECKED
