Hi Everyone

 

I was wondering is there a way to have the animated backglass appear when VP is in fullscreen?  Currently I can only see it if I lower the video resolution. Thanks!

If you are in desktop/landscape mode it should be on the left and right sides of screen

In cabinet/portrait mode, you display it on 2nd monitor

Thank you for your response.  I'm in desktop/landscape mode, but the backglass is being displayed "behind" the background and can't be seen unless I go to a smaller resolution and can then see it on the left side of desktop. Tables look much better in fullscreen mode!

Is it normal for backglass not to show in full screen mode???

For desktop use, it is normal for a db2s backglass to not be able to show in full screen mode when using a single screen.

Hi Pinballman,

 

You can configure Your ScreenRes.txt so that the B2S is using a small part of Your main screen. To keep it above the VPX player, You need an App called "Always-On-Top", as described by xenonph here:

Just to make sure, You have the options of the ScreenRes.txt file ready (unused options can be "0"):

 

1366 <-- Playfild screen X resolution (width)

768 <-- playfield screen Y resolution (height)

1280 <-- Backglass screen X resolution (width)

1024 <-- Backglass screen Y resolution(height)

2 <-- Display number for the backglass

0 <-- offset for the backglass on the selected display (normally left at 0)

0 <-- offset for the backglass on the selected display (normally left at 0)

600 <-- Width of the DMD area in pixls

200 <-- Height of the DMD area in pixels

1280 <-- X position of the DMD area relative to the upper left corner of the backglass screen

100 <-- Y position of the DMD area relative to the upper left corner of the backglass screen

0 <-- Y-flip, flips the LED display uppside down. Used in P2K style cabs.

 

Regards

Michael

My question is similar, so i ask here...

 

I am new to all this, got it working with the help of tutorials and forum posts, thanks.

 

I only play desktop tables with one 16:9 screen. Lot of tables seem to require a directb2s file, otherwise an error message comes up.

Is it possible to switch off the animated backglass or at least the error message, as it is hidden anyway? Or does this has an effect on gameplay?

I am using a front end (Hyperspin with rocket launcher) and play with gamepad, so error messages are not so nice ...

and i don't want to lower my resolution to show the backglass.

 

Thanks!
