After 1 week of trial and error, I need help ( if possible ) :

 

( a ) My Initial Setup was Only 1 Screen ( Portrait mode config ) so I installed Vpx 10.7.2 to play some pinballs

 

( b) A week ago, I bought a 2nd Screen ( Landscape mode config ) so I installed B2SServer 2.1.5.1 to display a back glass

 

I am not able to display any back glass on my 2nd Screen ?!?

 

I followed the steps below but ' nyet ' ???

 

How Vpx knows to display my back glass ?

 

Could it be the directb2s files ?

 

Could someone shed some light for me ...

1. Yeah, there are definitely some steps 

 

- It needs to be installed properly (DLL must be Registered, etc.). I always install mine to the C:\B2S-Server\ folder now-days.

 

- Be sure the "Disable B2S" box in un-checked in VPX-Editor/Prefs/Keys

 

2. Mostly, a properly written ScreenRes.txt file . Backglass-monitor's proper resolution and display-number in here is a good start. I keep mine in \Tables\ folder.

 

3. Anything is possible:

I'm running B2S-Server v2.1.4 on two-different Windows-11 machines (my 3-screen cabinet and my 2-screen desktop/dev computer) and works fine on both.

Thanks a lot Tesla, you resolved my issue 

 

The "Disable B2S" box was checked

 

Now I just need to find how to move the DMD to the back glass ...

1. Cool

 

2. On a Table that uses a ROM (meaning the DMD is rendered with vPinMame), I think you just "drag it there".

More of a lurker here, but rather than unblock one file at a time:

 

you can open Powershell (right-click and run as Administrator or you will get errors:

C>  Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Vpinball" -Recurse | Unblock-File

 

Where C:\Vpinball is the dir your games is installed in  (must be in quotes)

 

Happy flipping!
