Can I have some help killing the dmdext file that runs my pindmd3. It works great for startup in pinball x with the mirror command. What I need to do now is end that program so that future pinball and vpx dmd's work. 

 

I see killpx3 .bat but I don't understand how to program. 

 

Thanks.

I got it working by creating a killtask.bat file and dropping it into the same folder as dmdext file.

 

create a file with notepad and save as .bat with this inside. 

taskkill /f /im dmdext.exe

 

In Pinball X FX3 settings

Launch after (very bottom) 

enable launch after : Yes

Launch after working path : file where you put dmdext

launch after Executable : Killtask.bat

launch after parameter: (NA)

Launch after wait for exit: Yes

Launch after Hide window: No.

 

This worked for me. Hopefully works for the next person trying to figure it out.
