OK I'll get tom and jerry.  BTW, I was trying this in Visual Pinball 5 I think.  Not Visual Pinball X

 

What version of Visual Pinball are you running exactly?

I've got Visual PinballX, Visual Pinball 10, And the Physmod one as well as FuturePin I think.

Good. You previously posted something about Visual Pinball 5 ? I do not know anything useful about vp5-vp9.

 

As long as it's a VPX-Table running under Visual Pinball X v7.2 (or higher) I can continue to try helping you.

I told you I would try once more, so here you go. This one fits the format of your original 12-number one (but with what I think to be the proper numbers plugged in). If you take a look, you can see it is actually pretty simple and easy to decipher.

OK I think I found one big facet of the problem.  I have B2S 1.0 not the later.  I need to obviously update or get this working with the v1 config

Tom and Jerry works for me with B2S-Server v1.4 and VPX v7.2

 

That final ScreenRes.txt file will work with that version (or newer) also.

Just change to:

I'm going to try T&J.  I ran another one and it is working but the backglass and DMD are offset and the wrong size:

 

 

This is the config that the generator created:

# This is a ScreenRes file for the B2SBackglassServer.
# From release 1.3.1.1 comment lines like this starting with a '#' are supported.

# Define Backglass screen using Display Devicename screen number (\\.\DISPLAY)x or screen coordinates (@x) or screen index (=x)
2
# Backglass x/y position relative to the upper left corner of the screen selected
792

# width/height of the B2S (or Full) DMD area
1357

OK, went back and realized it was using the screenres in the tables directory, and replaced it with this:

# V2.0.3-a1b7e6d
# This is a ScreenRes file for the B2SBackglassServer.
# From release 1.3.1.1 comment lines like this starting with a '#' are supported.

# Backglass x/y position relative to the upper left corner of the screen selected

# width/height of the B2S (or Full) DMD area

# x/y position of the B2S (or Full) DMD area - relative to the upper left corner of the backglass window

When I do that, the backglass is in the right position but the DMD is nowhere to be seen.

So far messing with the numbers really doesn't move the DMD, no matter what I do.  If I set the backglass position to 100,100 then I can start to see the DMD in the 3rd screen but it's off to the left and no matter what numbers I put in the the x/y pos of the DMD area it doesn't seem to change

[kruuth]

Ok, finally bit the bullet and started messing with this.  Solution?  Kill the configs inside of regedit, and then manually "fix" the default resolution settings to match the correct size/position then once each one starts up then it starts working correctly again and make the changes to the needed tables stored in the registry.
