Hi Todd,

Thanks for the update. If you go at all send me a quick pm and I will attend. I am coaching soccer for U12 and I am busy 4 days a week and my daughters all dance competitive taking up the rest of my time. I went to one of the tournaments and I LOVED it. My neighbour joined me and wants to go again.

I would love to meet you so we can not only play pinball but also talk about this wonderful site.

All the best.

I ordered mine from the Newark / element14 website. They shipped it via UPS World Ease Saver and I got it the next day.
They are low on stock and probably in shock as to why the sudden surge in orders has occured:
element14 - Vishay LED DMD

Here's the place to check IF there will be COTSB pinball faith night:
COTSB - Pinball Faith

and sometimes I update this thread:
COTSB current events

If you see there is a pinball faith, just shoot me a PM to see if I'm going or not.


Best Regards,
Todd.
p.s. I'm about 45 minutes west of Whitby, in Markham.

Hi Todd,

I live in Whitby, Ontario and I was wondering where you got the Vishay screen from. I also wanted to know if you are still attending the church of pinball in mississauga. I was there once and they mentioned that one of the guys was into making digital pinball machines. I mentioned my projects and they said that the person lived on the east end of the city.

Anyways, nice to see that this hobby is taking off in Canada.

Let me know if you can.

All the best.

( PS if you are attending an event, I would like to meet you to discuss the Digital Pinball stuff as I have done lighting on my machine with a three monitor setup. )

Are you making a list from those in this thread? Or do we need to reserve one another way?

I went ahead and went with the red color DMD for $217 from Future Electronics. Only $9 to ship. Here is the link.
They now only have 5 left in stock at this price.

I figured it was a virtual pinball anyway so a red DMD will just add to the uniqueness of it.

Already received my Vishay led orange
Just in time for the construction of my cabinet, can't wait to test it

Regards

[russdx]

i am looking forward to seeing what different led boards look like, we will have to compare them all once all running

[Arcade4]

I know I am getting a bit ahead of myself here but I have a question.
Once we get the new DMD's up and running what do we do about the DMD on the backglass screen?
Is there a way to turn it off completely? Do we just move it off the screen somewhere?
Just curious.
Looking forward to putting the entire backglass on my screen without the speaker grill showing.

[arngrim]

It's possible to hide them from the scripts of each table, with the variable hidden = 1.

But it could be great if there is an automate solution

[russdx]

i can disable it my self in my custom .dll build, i have it enabled at the moment for testing

but it can be easily disable if thats what people want

put me down for one with postage to Australia

I personally would like it to be deactivated, I'm curious if, that way we can gain some fps.

I'd recommend the same "cabinet dll" optimizations that Destruk performs for the pinmame cabinet dll that's currently a separate download.

[russdx]

Destruk has kindly given me his source, i will at some point merge this with mine

Just ordered myself a vishay orange. Looking forward to the boards Russ! Great work.

Agreed.

Agreed.

It's very simple folks...


.hidden = 0 'the pinmame display is enabled

or

.hidden = 1 'the pinmame display is disabled


Stop worrying about it!


Best Regards,
Todd.
