There's a pretty good manual flthat is distributed with the latest pinballx versions (since pinballx versions starting from June 2022), but it can also be downloaded in the download section. It show upgrades and downgrades, but also almost all settings you can do with pinballx. Glad you upgraded to latest version without issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 @[email protected] Noticed your launch parameters for FP don't look right. You have; /open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit /arcaderender/STAYINRAM You should add an extra space before the /STAYINRAM, so change it to; /open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit /arcaderender /STAYINRAM Don't think that'll have any effect for your issue but worth changing in PinballX Settings.exe Future Pinball section. Please then retest with the .bat file and attach new copies of your PinballX log.txt and config.ini files, and also a copy of your .bat file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I believe the .bat and your previous help the thing is running but not getting placed on the 3rd screen.log.txt Looks like al is working. The black screens are from pinballx to hide all on the screen.I use a real dmd, so not sure, but I think you need to drag the virtual dmd to the corre t screen and save that position (right click?) Right now your launch before is disabled , so dmdext will not launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I come up with something I'll post it here. Going to try u packs. Don't give up ! try the following : Just launch the "Start FP - Backbox - DMDExt.bat" when you are in Windows make sure you have dmdext,exe and dmddevice.ini ar ein the FP folder if you have a popup like this : follow the steps as in the box (this is an example. could be differrent) If you see the following screen it is correct : Also a DMD will be show move this black box to the correct DMD window , resize if needed and right click. Click "save position globally" edit the file Start FP - Backbox - DMDExt.bat and change the last line . Put start in front of the dmdext command : (like this) start dmdext.exe mirror --source=futurepinball -q --virtual-stay-on-top --fps 60 --use-ini="DmdDevice.ini" make sure the fploader is removed or has Rem in front of it. restart your PC , launch PinballX and launch a table that should do the trick ! (sorry was away from computer for a couple of days) Let me know if that is working for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Checking it out now. I've reinstalled Future Pinball AIO. I've gone to Pin Up folder and repositioned my DMD . I'LL GET BACK. obtw: Me wanting this is probably weird but i love The large DMD displays where I can see them when I'm playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 So very glad you talked me out of Quitting = Very Happy Pinhead here! For those peoples who have been following this adventure - Mike DA Spike - and his co-horts have solved my problems, all my tables that have a virtual DMD (with this fix) in Future Pinball will be able to add the DMD to their 3rd screen. Thank-you so very much. I'll now try to write a .bat file for VPX and other tables to work with PINBALL X. OBTW DMDext only works on tables that already have a DMD. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Glad all is working and for vpx Vpx doesn't need a batch file for dmdext. Pinma.e will take care of the use of dmddevice.dll . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Mike: I have not looked at any of my VPX tables yet to see if their DMD's are still in place. I have to separate the rules for each Pinball engine in my head. If I have more problems I'll be sure to contact you. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Since this topic was opened for Future Pinball AIO I've marked the thread resolved and set the lock. Thanks to @Mike_da_Spike and @scutters for your help as always and @[email protected]for reporting back timely with your results. If any issues with VPX, please open a new thread with pinballx.ini and log.txt files attached to your description of the issue. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
