Hi, I hope someone can help me here. I'm new to this so bear with me. I'm running visual pinball x 10.6 and am attempting the simple feat of moving the DMD around the screen (before I try a multi screen setup). It took me a while to work out how to even see the mouse pointer during game, by disabling the "force exclusive fullscreen mode" in video/graphics options. I'd seen videos of people simply dragging the DMD around and resizing it with mouse pointer. I don't seem to be able to do this! I right click over the DMD and nothing. There is one exception out of the tables I've tried so far and that's Tron Legacy. For some reason I can move the DMD on this table but I've tried others (e.g. No fear, monster bash, medieval madness) and nothing happens when I right-click the DMD. 

 

Please help, what am I doing wrong?

The Dmd can just be dragged anywhere you want and it will save the position automatically. If it does not keep the position make sure in your Vpinmame setup you set the cabinet mode box is checked.

To do this globally, go in the visual pinball/Vpinmame/ setup.exe

If you are in desktop mode a lot of times moving to DMD is not possible

hi, did you ever find out why you cannot right click or move the DMD?   I have the same issue,  cannot drag or right click the DMD.    Thanks

The DMD in desktop mode is sometimes part of the VPX table so you cant move it as easily

Open the table in the VPX editor. Click on the backglass button on the left. You will now see a box that represent the dmd location. Move as needed

Thankyou for this post. I was looking for this exact information. Trying to set the DMD in the same location on all my machines for my desktop frontend and i just couldn't work out why some wouldn't let me move it!

I have the same problem for my retrobat setup on my windows laptop. Where can i find the VPXeditor so i can move the DMD and change the size?

The VPX exe file is both an editor and a table player. So you already have the editor

M3 here is a little cheater thing you can do, which I did when I was beta testing the Scooby table. You can cheat a little with FLEX DMD. In my table script you will see trailer line after the part about use FLEX dmd. I activate the last line then I have a free floating version of the dmd "UseFlexDMD=True". You can control the size and location then. That is why I actually bothered to put the Scooby Doo, 2022 graphic as a background filler image in same position as the native dmd screen box so it did not look like a big open hole. When I am in native DMD, all DMD messaging stays in the DMD box and when I want to test FLEX, even in desktop mode, the FLEX version moves the DMD over to my 2nd monitor where my backglass is as well so I can do a simulated Cabinet test as well. Give it a shot.

 

' Use FlexDMD if in FS mode
Dim UseFlexDMD
If Table1.ShowDT = True then
    UseFlexDMD = False
Else
    UseFlexDMD = True
End If
'UseFlexDMD = True 'SCOOBY code to force FlexDMD on to override FLEX Dmd as primary even when in desktop mode.

Hi, maybe a little late but I found that dmd could be moved after I set this to true in DMDDevice.ini in C:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\

 

; a DMD that renders with nice dots on a computer monitor

[virtualdmd]

enabled = true

Thank you, this worked for me. Once I had done this I could Alt+Tab to the DMD and move him around. Beautiful.
