CyclonePF Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I am running Windows 10 and have a PinDMD3 DMD. The DMD work fine from within Visual Pinball (VPX) during regular game play, but I cannot figure out how to get a DMD video to display from within PinballX. When browsing through tables in PinballX, the playfield and backglass videos display fine, but all I see on the DMD is the PinDMD3 logo. I have downloaded some DMD videos from the FTP site from this forum, and also from the VPForums site, but none of them are working for me. Has anybody else seen a similar issue or have suggestions for me to try? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
