[NEWS] PinballX 5.50

[Tom Speirs]

The first fairly significant update for a while. I've been enjoying life but do seem to have slowed down a bit.

It seems FullDMD videos are a new media addition in the scene now, following apngs as a new thing which I pioneered here.

PinballX now supports these and passing on the videos to play with Visual Pinball. 

Its painless to setup if its your thing to go beyond traditional Pinball with a full 16/9 Full DMD display.

First you import your videos into the FullDMD videos folder. VPUniverse has quite a large collection now. Then you need to enable keep aspect/full DMD under DMD display settings. That should be it. The videos will play when you launch Visual Pinball and will be captured when recording videos to play in the front end. You may have issues with this feature in Windows 7 due to Direct3D display conflicts but I have not tested. I'm purely a windows 10 man right now and have not tested in a VM.

In audition there are various fixes in this release including the following:
Auto position b2s does not overwrite existing dmd settings. That will keep the freaks happy
Fixes use pinmame in front end
Fixes creating dmd screenshots.
