DmdExt set up with PBFX3

[dazzlaa]

Hey guys,

  Could anyone offer advice on getting dmdext working with pinball fx 3? I have followed freezys directions of github upto the part where, in command window I put dmdext mirror --source=pinballfx2 --no-virtual. at this point I am shown several DMD errors within command window so I am pretty sure its not correct in what I am doing.

--source=pinballfx3

Ahh yes I have actually been putting fx3... Its like it doesn't connect to fx3. My command window seems to only want to work within the current working directory. I have to change directory to the Vpinmame folder just to make "dmdext test" work.

 

Sorry, I know this is unrelated to Pinball X!

 

Thanks for the help.

I created a dmd.bat inside the dmdext folder that looks like this-

dmdext mirror --source=pinballfx3 --position 0 0 1024 272 --destination=virtual --virtual-dotsize .8  --virtual-position 5760 0 1366 350 --quit-when-done

Your virtual-position will be different than mine.  1st # is how many pixels from your playfield monitor, #2 is how many pixels down, #3 is width of your dmd screen, and #4 is height of screen.

If you haven't made a .bat file, let me know.

In PinballX setup under Pinball FX3 I have a lauch before enabled

Put in the path of dmdext, enter the dmd.bat fpr tje executable

I think I had launch before hide window to Yes.  I don't know as I don't use it anymore because my Launch before setting are taken up by DOFLinx
