I have a 3 screen setup. I usually choose 3 screen b2s files. I guess I dont understand how a 2 screen and 3 screen b2s is different. Whenever I use a b2s i see only the one screen, which is the backglass. Why is there a distinction between 3 and 2 screen?

As far as I know, 2 screen usually include the grill with the speakers and the end. 3 screens doesn’t, because it understands that you have your dmd apart, so they made the backglass bigger. :)

Many backglasses also have the grill area defined, and you can simply set it to hide grill

If it does not, you can edit it to be as such

 

Some backglasses may be a bit tricky, but it can still be done if no suitable 3 screen backglass exists


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

Spend it on Hookers and Blow
