Hopefully Rosve or someone will be able to see what my problem is with these tables.
I will post photos at the end so you can see what is happening.

I am running a 2 monitor setup. Both monitors are 1920 X 1080
I added some extra lines in my screenres file to get rid of the speaker grill in Attack from Mars and Addams Family. (Worked great). Thanks Rosve.
However I noticed it messed up 3 tables. (Back to the Furture, Pirates, and Diner). All others I tested seem to work great.
Below is my screenres file settings so someone can tell what I screwed up and three photos of the problem.

You need to set the proper LED Display Width/Height and Display X/Y Offset to the size/location of your actual DMD screen as that controls where that extra frame you are seeing is located (not sure how it should work if you are using an actual DMD though)...

Quoted from another thread...

cool. Is it much work to make it for 3screeen setup ?

You must define the DMD area in the ScreenRes file (It's called LED Display Area in B2S).
Download ScreenRes Editor

Any value other than 0 in 'LED Display X Offset' will turn the backglass into 3-screen mode but it is best to define all the parameters correctly.

OK. So I get to play the part of the fool for a bit. lol.
Although that is a nice diagram and all I am still confused.
Maybe it is the fact that I do not have a third DMD monitor and use a real DMD that I can not wrap my head around this.
I have no idea what numbers to enter on what line to make these three tables look correct.

So, here's part of the issue. You need to actually "create" a 3rd screen in the screen res program so that it slides the grill/score off the screen. Since you have a real DMD, this means you will lose the score on Pirates and Spiderman. There really is no way around it currently. I already had a 3rd screen, so the B2S was set up for 3 screens. When I removed the 3rd screen and then added the real DMD, I left the 3 screen resolution settings. This keeps grill off, and score off the screen, but again, this makes it so Spiderman and Pirates has no score because every B2S table uses the same config.

Short answer: just configure a 3rd screen in the res program that uses numbers larger than your displays resoutions(say like 3000 x 3000) and you should be good for everything that uses a ROM.

Awesome. Thanks for the great info.
I can't try it till tonight, but I am willing to give up scoring on Spiderman and Pirates to have the others working.

Perhaps we could request a "realDMD" version of those two games that has the scoring higher up on the backglass? No pressure to make one, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
