[RESOLVED] Unable to get the "welcome" PinballX DMD to show.

[burno_sardine]

attached are pinball.ini and log file.

I'm finishing a complete rebuild and everything works great - including DMDs being where they are suppose to be.  The problem is when launching Pinball X.  I can't get that "PinballX" motion logo-dmd to appear at all.

It did appear once, and on the correct screen, but it was small.  I thought I would just mess with it later.  After that, I started working on the DMDs for the games.  In doing so, I ended up using the vpmame default registry to set a location for the dmd.  And while it's great for the games (even when launching from pinballx) I think it was after that, when I could never see the pinballx welcome dmd again.  But I'm not 100% sure on that because I've been messing with so much.

In the settings, if I set Show DMD=True, I cannot see the dmd  but I can alt-tab and see a black window representing the pinballx dmd window (I think the window title even says "DMD").  If I set Show DMD=off, alt-tab only shows me 2 screens: the playfield and the backglass.  My understanding from other forum posts I should leave Show DMD=off.

At this point I'm going in circles trying different things.

Thanks for any help!

As a side question (admittedly for vpinball and not pinballx)- is there a precedence between screenres.txt and dmd values in the registry?  Like if registry values exist, use that, if not, use screenres.txt?  Or are both used regardless?

Looks like you have x and y offsets set for the DMD as well as a screen number;

[DMD]
Enabled=True
monitor=2
x=4077
y=151

If screen 2 is correct then set the offsets to 0

Registry is used by vpinmame, screenres.txt by backglass

Resolved.. thanks scutters!  I was using the tool "setdmd" for vpinmame and used those values for pinballx settings.  setting offsets to 0 was the solution!

Cool, glad to help!
