pinballx dmd

[ATOMIZE202012]

evening all.

 

Iv got really nice cabinet built with all fx3 visual pinball  future  pinball tables and a wii remote gun on the side with all the great wii gun games and mame lightgun games working great in the backglass the lightgun games boot just like the pinball tables from pinballx front end and close the same But?..

As I'm playing on the backglass the dmd is just black screen same as the table which I dont mind as all eyes are on the backglass but I woukd like something on the dmd now I don't know how to get pinup player to pick up wii mame games to make dmd videos nor do I not know how to add pictures  on the dmd why I'm playing lightgun games ?

So I tbougt I could kill the pinballx dmd that's running in Windows applications but taskkill /I'm pinballx dmd don't work because its not exe running only pinballx.exe is and I can't close that ?

So is there away to get pictures on dmd thats not a pinball table? Browsing pinballx front end is great iv got nice backglass and dmd videos but as you know just place them in pinballx media ect.

Atleast if I can get pinballx to execute batch file before i open wii/mame game to kill the pinballx dmd it will show my Windows desk top and i could add retro ligtgun picture or something that would show ever time I open lightgun game as that batch file would excute and show it yeah?

But how?

No, you can't just kill the pinballx dmd window.  But it sounds like all you want to do is display an image  / video on it,  can't you just add that to the pinballx media dmd media folder and deselect the 'hide  dmd' option to keep it displayed on the pinballx dmd window after game launch?

As I read it, you just want thatvthe pimballx dmd will not appear during launch of mame and wii.

I should select "hide dmd" in Databasemanager/gamemanager.

If you want to show another logo during game ay, use a launch before batch file, that passes the "table name" and use a viewer that shows a picture on your dmd with the same name as the tablename (and tablename is your wii or mame game)
