I've been enjoying my 2-screen VP cabinet, but a couple of games are giving me an issue in the DMD department.

 

The screenshot below is from Data East's TMNT on my cab. As you can see, although the DMD graphics are displaying correctly, the window itself is far too tall. I moved it from it's usual position to show the height of the window.

The DMDs on the other games I have on my cabinet work normally. It's only TMNT and one other game (that I can't recall offhand) that has this strange tall window. I can't resize it from the bottom, but I can make it wider or more narrow. Right-clicking the DMD window brings up the usual set of commands, but I'm not even that sure what I'm looking for in this case. The board's script only has a variable to display the DMD (tried flipping the bit, but no change), so I'm unsure what can be done.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. For now, I can work with it, but there must be some way to adjust it.

 

EDIT: Oh! I should have mentioned I'm running VP 10.7, but the problem was also there under 10.6.

That looks like a script setting, if 0 set to 1

        .ShowDMDOnly=1

In the script go to line 260 & delete the apostrophe next to ShowDMDOnly = 1 & save. Then right click the display & Restore Window Size.

Perfect, perfect, perfect! I failed to notice the apostrophe commenting out that line. Now it works like it should.

 

I'll have to remember that when it comes time for me to fix the other board that has the same issue (I'll have to bump into it as I go through the games on my cabinet).

 

Thank you very much, Clyde!

You're welcome, the only other table that i can remember having the same problem was Hot Shots.

Hello, I am having the same issue with the dmd not being resizable. I tried going to line 260, but did not see an apostrophe in the line. There is a dot to the left of the number 260 but that's it. Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Also having issues with dmd on takes from the crypt. It doesn't stay where it should on front end.

Didn't work for me. There was also no apostrophe.
