Screenshots
Future DMD will create a virtual dmd that can be positioned in a 3 monitor cabinet similarly to the one used in Visual Pinball for Future Pinball!. Your dmd is no longer limited to your backbox or playfield. If you have a 3 monitor cabinet you can now put your dmd where it belongs! You can choose to leave the DMD running between games or launch from your favorite front end. An example has been included for Hyperpin and Pinballx front ends. Instructions are included in the FutureDMD Setup pdf file.
 
*NEW* Added a Plugin for PinballX to display game information on FutureDMD while navigating your game lists:
 
It will show things like:
  • Highlighted game's name
  • Last time played
  • Who holds the High Score
  • How many times the game has been played
  • 2nd and 3rd place scores
  • Average time a game might last
As well as customizable messages can be created for every single table making each one unique!

  • 1.8
  • --------------
  • *YOU MUST* overwrite the exe's and dll's both have been changed.

  • - you can tweak individual shades in the ini file (explained in pdf)

  • ----------------
  • -fixed color loading bug that occurs when opening and closing between games. If you use the "always on" method you don't need this update.
  • 1.7

  • Changed aspect ratio sizing and made some small pixel size improvements to the stretch (free sizing) option.
  • You should now be able to run on a resolution as low as 256x64 and have it look as good as a full hd resolution.
  • 1.6B
  • -----------------

  • -reversible display for mirrored type cabinets
  • (pinballx plugin doesn't currently support rotation or image flipping)

  • resizing system overhaul. You should be able to get the dmd window to fit anywhere, any size you like.
  • 1.5d
  • ------------------
  • screen number, size and location now stored in the ini. should help correct positioning on some systems. It will auto update when you move the window or you can manually edit the file. You may need to resize and position your futuredmd window after the first run.

  • -rewrote a pixel drawing routine resulting in a major performance increase.
  • -removed the ini file from the distribution and build it on the fly if it doesn't exist. That way you don't have to worry about accidentally overwriting your custom settings when updating. (you should back up your ini still before updating though)

 You need to pass the table name as a command line argument to FutureDMD.exe for it to work. Instructions for hyperpin are provided with an explanation of the command line arguments which you can adapt for other front ends. Table colors don't work when using the dmd always on or by double clicking the future pinball.exe

First, great work and thank you for your effort! 

But positioning is not working for me in the new 1.5d version. I can resize, but after a restart of Future DMD the DMD is sitting small as before in the upper left corner. Version 1.5c was fine.

Thank you for adding rotation and mirroring!  Perfect for the P2k cabs.

Awesome job, thanks much! Works great with Hyperpin and alonside Visual Pinball tables in a cabinet setup. Rediscovering virtual pinball again due to advances like this in Future Pinball - your effort is greatly appreciated.

Does this work in XP?  When I click on FutureDMD.exe nothing happens.

 

Thanks

Hi Brightonrock,

 

I don't have an XP system to test with but It should work on XP as long as you have .NET 3.5 run times installed. You can get them here:

This has full LedWiz support, correct?  I have FutureDMD working great but I can't get anything out of the LedWiz tables.

 

I'm thinking I have more then one of the set of OpenGL and ledwiz.dll files floating around that are getting loaded up incorrectly.  (Maybe an old one in a different directory somehow getting loaded first.)

 

I'm launching everything via FPlaunch 1.295 WIP10 + Pinball FX2 support ( http://www.vpforums....showtopic=24435 )

 

Any other way to debug?

 

Thanks
