@Outhere, it would be nice to have an option in the GUI instead of having to modify the script. Basic UX nicety that would go a long way.

@foofoorabbit : Welcome to the virtual pinball world where you are expected to lay down some effort to make it work they way you want it to

Go in the registry and add the DMD Size and Location to the Default or see more info

I hate to be negative on my first post ever here but I too find it ridiculous that rotating the DMD involves jumping through several hoops... that are on fire.

 

VPinMAME offers a bunch of options to resize, recolor, double display size, anti-alias, tweak transparency, but doesn't offer the option to rotate? Everything but the kitchen sink. Kitchen sink = rotation.

 

Anyways, I don't want to bring too much negativity here and will at least say that the table recreations the community is putting out is out of this world. There is so much talent here it's unbelievable.

My main goal is to play with one screen on 270 degrees and have the dmd at the bottom of the screen rotated.

So anyone can advice for example for the table  spiderman 3.0 how can i do that?  i know that those table have "2 dmds" , the textbox1 which i put on bottom and its ok but i cant rotate it , and the other one it can be moved all around the table with cursor but again cant be rotated.

VPM DMD yes
DMD extensions DMD no

 

You could play the table at 0 degrees with the OS in portrait for using the DMD extensions display

 

For VPM's DMD  edit the table script

look for .Hidden

 

add a line below it like this

       .Hidden=0
       .Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("rol")=1

(and you would want that hidden to be 0 if you want to see the vpm DMD

If you need to roll the other way then ror instead of rol

 

You may want to add a line to the sub tablename_exit

Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("rol")=0

this puts the rotation back to normal on exit, so the change is not permanent

i DID IT, all great, putting now the proper script lines in all tables. 

Thank you all for the help.

You can set up default behavior in the windows registry

Take a working table registry entry and rename it to default. Now all new tables will inherit the default settings
