Star Wars The Mandalorian is now done.  The corresponding FX file will get packaged up later today with a new DOFLinx release.

 

I have uploaded a new set of back glasses to their new home on GitHub here https://github.com/D...lasses/releases

 

Please note that the temporary Google Drive location will be decommissioned shortly.  Ultimately you will need https://github.com/o...nx/repositories for releases, back glasses and documentation, so may as well make a book mark now!  Technically the documentation address to bookmark is https://doflinx.github.io/docs/ where everything is nicely formatted.

I must either be incredibly dense or just don't know what the heck I am doing. I have followed several different step by step guides and cannot get this to work. Is there like an official guide from zen or something?

Whew, got that working. Backglasses working as they should, but now apparently DOFLinx blocks my pinscape KL25Z from appearing in x360ce to use analog nudge and plunger 😂
Thanks for the link btw!

Just an update. Got it playing nicely with x360ce.

I have to get that all setup first and hide the direct inputs before starting DOFLinx, then it just thinks I have a 360 controller.

The TOTAN B2S is wild. Love it! It is interesting to see what triggers what in the different backglasses. Always seeing something new.

Thanks for the work you do!

Hi, I have downloaded the latest Pinball FX backglasses: 3 pieces. Blackknight 2000, Banzai Run, and Earthshaker, and added them to my B2S folder in the Doflinx directory, but they are not displayed in the FX, all the others work, with all the others I can see the backglass. What am I doing wrong? With the 3 new ones I can only see the generic backglass of the FX. Please help me! THANK YOU very much.

Have you installed DOFLinx v8.16 ?  The latest version is required to interpret the table number to FX file and backglass name.

Strange, when playing TOTAN I get no DMD anymore, just some Williams bezel on my DMD screen. All other tables work just fine (using latest DOFLinx 8.16).

Any idea why this is happening? Thanks a lot and best regards!

Right click on the TOTAN back glass and turn off the B2S DMD.

Hi DDH69!
 
Unfortunately I have to bother you again, but how do I get the DMD for the backglasses to work?
I can only see the glasses but no DMD.
 
The grill is shown but there is no display.
I could use the DMD from the FX but I have to set the size every time and that drives me crazy.
 
Please help me again, you god of pinball!

The DOFLinx back glasses do not provide a DMD.  You need to either

a) activate and move the FX3 / FX built in DMD, or

b) use some of freezy's great work with FlexDMD, etc

Hi DDH69,

Thank you so much for all your work with DOFLinx. Absolutely amazing having active backglasses in Pinball FX. I have one question, for the alphanumeric tables is it possible to get the score to display on the backglass instead of the dmd?

Does anyone have the DmdDevice.ini settings for all the tables they could share? Positioning all the DMD windows over the B2S provided frames is a bit of a pita.

 

Once I realized what I was doing this turned out to be a lot simpler that I thought since only a couple of tables actually have dmd frames. Those just happened to be the ones I was trying to play the most of when testing things out.

Has anyone been able to download the latest v5 (dated June 23rd 2025) of the FX B2S file set? For me, it always gets to 1.0 Gb of 1.2 Gb and then bombs out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried different browsers too, with no luck on getting the download to complete.

The file is 1.19Gb so sounds like you are dying at the end?  I uploaded this while "out bush", but it seems OK from what I can see.  Anyone grabbed it successfully?
