fp dmd future pinball dmd dmd monitor fp fp dmd cabinet



Screenshots
Future DMD will create a virtual dmd that can be positioned in a 3 monitor cabinet similarly to the one used in Visual Pinball for Future Pinball!. Your dmd is no longer limited to your backbox or playfield. If you have a 3 monitor cabinet you can now put your dmd where it belongs! You can choose to leave the DMD running between games or launch from your favorite front end. An example has been included for Hyperpin and Pinballx front ends. Instructions are included in the FutureDMD Setup pdf file.
 
*NEW* Added a Plugin for PinballX to display game information on FutureDMD while navigating your game lists:
 
It will show things like:
  • Highlighted game's name
  • Last time played
  • Who holds the High Score
  • How many times the game has been played
  • 2nd and 3rd place scores
  • Average time a game might last
As well as customizable messages can be created for every single table making each one unique!

  • -rewrote a pixel drawing routine resulting in a major performance increase.
  • -removed the ini file from the distribution and build it on the fly if it doesn't exist. That way you don't have to worry about accidentally overwriting your custom settings when updating. (you should back up your ini still before updating though)

Hey Guys,

 

I'm another noob, trying to learn this pinball thing. I've installed future dmd and as long as it's a one dmd table it's working fine, so i know it has to be the multiple dmd on the translite issue.

 

I'm trying to set up Tron 1.05 (no toys on the cab yet, but just ordered all the hardware to start installing feedback and some lighting), I've removed all references to dispDMD2 from the script and deleted it from the translite, and the table loads with no errors. The issue is i'm still not getting any output to future DMD, can someone tell me what I might have missed?

Can anyone assist me with this.  I have FP installed and running correctly with about 6 tables.  I have FutureDMD insalled per the PDF guide.  It is set as admin and once run I can position where it needs to be on my 3rd screen as well as resize it.  I cannot however get it to show the DMD once I launch a table.  Any ideas?

Same here, I can get it to stay put before running a game but when I launch a table, it sits behind to the backglass screen. Not sure to fix it, Is there other FP dmd options?
