Hi,

 

I have a 3screen Cab Setup (3rd screen DMD is a standard LCD screen over hdmi) that works fine for me for at least one year. Most tables uses roms and the ext DMD (freeze in latest version)

Now I installed PUP Packs and I love it 🙂 but in this point I am beginner and want to work strictly carefully because every change could bring new problems I learned 😉

 

I installed Iron Maiden LOtB and noted 2 points:

 

1. no score is available in backglass (backglass works fine and shows 3 tiles in one screen)

2. no DMD is present. The DMD is empty (shows the background picture that I configured)

 

Do anyone know how the scoring is presented? Is it normally shown on DMD?

I checked the display configuration in PUppack Editor. DMD 4:3 and the other DMD are activated and shown in the preview. 
but the game starts without DMD showing…

 

I am happy about tips 🙂

 

thank you

Did you run the appropriate .bat file that probably came with the puppack to set everything up correctly and/or follow any directions included in any readme file?

Tip.

 

1 - Look for correct DMD bat file.  For my case

 

C:\Pinup\Pinupsystem\PUPvideos\IM_LOTB\Option 1 - 3 screen - Full DMD.bat.

 

2 - Run the program - C:\Pinup\Pinupsystem\PinUpPackEditor.exe

 

3 - This will open the program that you can test the correct PUPvideo.

Load the especific PUPvideo for IM_LOTB - you must search in SELECT

 

4 - Once founded press - LOAD PUPPACK  - got to the four tab (HELP TEST) and START PUPPACK

This will show how is the screen position for it - If not correct, you need to run the program PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays.bat and check the position for Apron/FullDMD screen is adjusted.

 

5 - For my case DMD is screen 3:

 

Width - 1920

Height - 803

Screen Xpos - 3840

Screen Ypos - 0

 

Now should be works fine

 

This tip servers for test any PupPack video

Hi,

thank you very much for your tips.

It seems that I haven‘t the matching PUppack for IM LOTB… in my case no DMD option was present. (Only 3 options all without DMD)

Yesterday I found a PUppack but not for IM LOTB, it was for another IronMaiden table. This worked and 5 options incl. one option with DMD and Highscore as avi was available.

Now I am looking for a matching PUppack for IM LOTB…
