THIS MOD IS FOR VPX DESKTOP USERS ONLY, CABINET USERS CAN DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL TABLE.
I first would like to thank Dozer316 for giving me permission to make this dB2SDT mod, and permission from Bassgeige to showcase his dB2S backglasses. I would also like to thank them for making a great table and dB2S backglass!! I also would like to thank everyone who contributed to this table including Lord Hiryu, Bmiki75, Teppotee, Kiwi and Hauntfreaks!!
They put in alot of time and work on the original table and backglass, and it is appreciated!! So if you like this mod, I would encourage you to thank the original authors, as I have only made a few changes!
Check Original Table download page for more important info.

Each dB2SDT Mod will have ColorDMD coded into script.
They also will have Logo and Instructions on right side of table.
REMEMBER THAT THESE DB2SDT MODS ARE MADE TO SHOWCASE A WORKING DB2S BACKGLASS ON SAME SCREEN AS TABLE.
I HAVE MADE THE BACKGLASS AS BIG AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH PLAYFIELD.
(SO YOU MAY SEE THE BACKGLASS GO OVER THE SIDE RAILS ON SOME OF THESE MODS, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO INTERFERE WITH PLAYFIELD OR GAMEPLAY.)
THESE DB2SDT MODS SHOULD BE PLAYED ON WIDESCREEN MONITOR.
THE METHOD I AM USING TO CONVERT THESE DESKTOP VERSION TABLES TO BE ABLE TO USE AND HAVE ON SAME SCREEN A WORKING TABLE AND WORKING DB2S BACKGLASS IS A METHOD I LEARNED FROM KAAN, SO I WANT TO THANK HIM VERY MUCH.
THIS METHOD DOESN'T WORK WITH THE NEW CONTROLLER METHOD, SO THIS TABLE USES THE OLD CONTROLLER METHOD.
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE BACKGLASS AND TABLE AUTHORS WHO HAVE GIVEN ME PERMISSION TO MAKE THESE dB2S BACKGLASS MODS, SO I CAN SHOWCASE THEIR MASTERPIECES IN THIS FORMAT FOR DESKTOP USERS.
I also would like to thank Steve "Slydog43" for which these VPX mods would not be possible!!
YOU WILL NEED THE dB2S BACKGLASS PROGRAM INSTALLED FOR THIS TABLE TO WORK PROPERLY.
I HAVE INCLUDED B2S Backglass Server 1.3.0.2 WITH DOWNLOAD AND INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO INSTALL IF NEEDED.
YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE "Disable B2S" UNCHECKED IN PREFERENCES..KEYS MENU, AS MOST VPX DESKTOP TABLE USERS WILL HAVE THIS CHECKMARKED.
YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP THESE 4 ITEMS IN SAME FOLDER FOR THESE TABLES TO WORK PROPERLY.
SCREENRES.TXT
B2S.EXE
PINBALL TABLE.VPX
BACKGLASS.DB2S
SIMPLY START TABLE AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER TABLE. THE DB2S BACKGLASS WILL AUTOMATICALLY STAY ON SCREEN.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE A DIFFERENT BACKGLASS, SIMPLY NAME NEW BACKGLASS SAME AS TABLE NAME AND PUT IN SAME FOLDER AS TABLE.
IF YOU USE 3 SCREEN BACKGLASSES THAT HAVE DMD, YOU CAN RIGHT CLICK ON A RUNNING BACKGLASS AND CHANGE IT TO HIDE GRILL, AS THESE 3 SCREEN VERSIONS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH THIS METHOD. YOU CAN ALSO SWITCH BETWEEN FANTASY (FLASHY LIGHTS) AND AUTHENTIC MODE ON SOME BACKGLASSES BY RIGHT CLICKING ON BACKGLASS. The included B2STableSettings.xml will automatically start this backglass in Fantasy Mode as long as this file stays in same folder as table.
ALSO ANY DB2S FILES THAT ARE REALLY LARGE WONT WORK WITH THIS METHOD AS IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR THE BACKGLASS TO LOAD.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH FLIPPERS STICKING, TRY RESTARTING TABLE AS THIS IS USUALLY DUE TO FIRST TIME PLAYING TABLE ON SYSTEM.
This table is configured to use rom jd_l1 which gives the 3 ball deadworld lock mod but the later jd_l7 rom also works with it too.
NOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE FULL BACKGLASS IN ACTION, AS SEEN BY CABINET USERS, ON A DESKTOP VERSION TABLE!!!
All pics, trademarks, Logos and sounds belong to their respectful owners. This table is for personal home, and non-commercial use only. This table should be used for educational purposes only..
HOPE YOU ENJOY, AND REMEMBER TO THANK THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS OF THESE TABLES AND BACKGLASSES!!
