Hi,

 

First of all, I'm a new user. I've installed and updated VPX 10.6, running Windows 10. I'm not using a cabinet; just playing it on my computer.

 

My problem is this: When I play many tables, the score displays are not showing up. It appears to be an issue with DMD score displays. Some examples are Addams Family (although that did work a couple of times), South Park, The Sopranos, etc.

 

Is there a setting I'm getting wrong?

PinMAME which controls the display of the DMD is running at the same time, so you can alt-tab to it and see it running at the same time.  Once you alt-tab to it, move it to the position you want on the table and then click back to the table. 

Note though I've had trouble with this with this combo of latest builds where the switch between them can reboot my system.

 

The other thing you can do is choose to use the DMDext program included in the VPMAME VisualPinball combo installer.  Once you enable this, it takes over the display of the DMD and you can set it to go in the upper left corner.

Thanks. It worked on Addams Family, but when I ran South Park, it wasn't there. It ran Visual PinMAME instead.
