Outhere, I have not tried running it as administrator, but will try. Would exporting the registry key from the test pc and importing it into the default folder of the vpin cab, be an option?

[Outhere]

Try the administrator thing 1st and if that don't put it in there....

Make a copy of your registry file before you start importing things...

This is something you know how to do?

Okay I'll try that. Yes I'm good with backing up the registry keys. I've got a full backup of my setup and a backup of the default folder as well. I think this is where the problem lies as there is no pindmd registry key. There's no way to place the DMD in its place if they key is missing, I'm thinking that's what it could be.

[Outhere]

It's sure looks like it would be the reason for not working

[Genesis38]

Outhere, running Vpinmame.exe in administrator mode, do you recommend setting external dmd.dll and color option as default? Will this affect all of my Roms or only future Roms I add to my setup?

Are you talking about doing it like this?

I have actually never done it But as far as I know you would right click Visual PinMame, Export - name it whatever you want so you can find it....

Put it somewhere in the other computer ( C-Drive ) double click it and it's supposed to go in to the registry automatically

 

do you recommend setting external dmd.dll and color option as default?

that's is the way i have it And if I set up a table that don't need it I hit F1 turn off

Okay perfrct, I'm going to try it shortly and report back. The registry is also saved exactly how you recommend. This is the only thing to try and I'm hoping it works...

[Outhere]

If it works it should show up in the default

[Genesis38]

Okay, pindmd is now showing under the default registry, however the color DMD still shows on top left of the playfield. I just don't get this..... If I move the windows dmd, the registry keys change accordingly so shouldn't the color dmd read these settings and position itself in the 3rd monitor?

Did it work by do this

When you run the VPinMame setup.exe do you right click the file and run as administrator

Whatever game you're trying to run you will have to go into registry and delete that rom so when you start the game it starts with default settings

I've been comparing some registry keys between test pc and cabinet setup and found the test pc showpindmd (1) and show windmd (0) in the default and all Roms keys, however the vpin cab setup, does not have the option for showpindmd, only showwimdmd (1). Would this have something to do with the issue?

 

yes

[32assassin]

given that you have a uniform size for your DMD,  you should set your size and location

 

go to your PINMAME folder and set your DmdDevice.INI to   read only.

 

I had mine wiped to default settings on multiple occasions to a point I have backups now.

 

 

note that if you wan to make changes you will have to do it manually as moving and resizing your DMD with your mouse will no longer be saved.

-Yes it did, thank you!

-Shamefully I have not done this. Typically I close VP and restart the table. I will try after work tonight and call myself a complete moron if this was the problem all along.

[Outhere]

When you run the VPinMame setup.exe do you right click the file and run as administrator?

The reason I asked is if you just imported There maybe other settings in the registry that need to be done, But by doing it automatically all the settings should be done If there are other areas..

And I completely looked past this question - Sorry

[Genesis38]

Outhere, please don't apologize my friend. You've been nothing short of amazing with all your help. Let me try deleting the games folder in the registry, reload the table with defaults and see what happens

[Genesis38]

I've been chatting with another member who's been helping me and we both concluded that the Freezys ini file is not being read. I'm going to re-download it, set the defaults for the yaes and see what happens.

[Genesis38]

Looks like I finally got it fixed! What a relief!!

I installed a fresh .ini file and deleted the games file under the registry so it loaded up with default settings, and so far, so good.

All that's left to figure out is why some tables are coming up with the windows orange DMD when the Default settings show the Windows DMD being off and Pin DMD on. Nevermind. Answered my own question by reading Outhere's response above. Duh!!

Anyhow, thank you to all of you for your patience and help.

Hi Guys
Im in the same position and trying to resize and move the DMDext...

I have Future DMD installed and it worked perfectly before I installed DMDext...

Why Im doing this is because I want to install Pinup System...

And this DMDext is mandatory for that installation.

 

Im not sure how to edit the registry and remove old games befor the new .ini settings

 

Please if someone could Point me in the right direction..
