I'd like to make the backglasses vary in size for a few tables in my two-screen setup. The backglass size for nearly every table is great, but Wizard of Oz comes to mind; I can't show the screen and the DMD together without one blocking part of the other. Is there any way to lessen the height of the backglass for just this table, so that there's more space for the DMD below?

 

Can backglass sizing be local (or whatever the opposite of "global" is)? Thanks!

Yes. But, first you kind of have to tell us what kind of backglass solution your are talking about. If I remember correctly, there is both pup-pack and db2s for this machine. I run pup-packs very seldom so all I know is that they can be controlled by some files in the root of the "video folder". For db2s - you have *.res files that can be used to do some tricks with. If you're luck, outhere might see this, I believe he has already written some guides for it. And Terry knows more than you want to know about pup-packs. Search those users if you don't get any response.

 

Edit : Uh. Outhere is fast as usual ;)

From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

You can use this to change the size of the most puppacks if needed
