I'm having a problem with the DMD settings.

 

I turn on the DMD frame, then position and size the DMD where I want it.  Then, when I turn off the frame this happens:

 

 

 

The DMD reverts back to a small size.

 

Also, when I exit the game and run it again, the DMD is on the wrong monitor and I have to move it into position again.

 

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Press F1 and tick "Cabinet Mode", do not turn off the frame, when you restart the table the frame it should disappear.

OK, that has made some progress.  When I ran the table a second time, it remembered the proper size, it just showed up on the wrong monitor:

Here are my B2S, screen, and DMD settings:

OK, major progress.

 

I tinkered with the B2S settings and got things looking pretty good.

 

However, it appears that several of the tables I have would look better with different settings than the defaults I put in the B2S Settings program.

 

Is there an easy way to have unique settings per table?
