burno_sardine Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 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? PinballX.ini log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 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 49 minutes ago, burno_sardine said: is there a precedence between screenres.txt and dmd values in the registry Registry is used by vpinmame, screenres.txt by backglass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno_sardine Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
