Hi everyone,

  pretty new to this. I recently just got back into Vpinball x and everything is working ok.

 

I got Caveman for VPX running great after also "finding" the rom online. My question is, the DMD is really small & when i drag the window and move it to where i want, the table minimizes and loses focus. I can't ever get the DMD back ON top of the table window but can hear it working and can alt-tab to it

 

What am i doing?

right click on it and show boarder you can drag it and resize it with left click. once you get it set then turn off boarder. exit vpx and start it back up to see if it saved position.

Ok yeah it does save he position. It's just i had to do open and close Vpin like 10 times to get it where i wanted it because i can't see the table since it minimizes.

If you are playing on a single screen in desktop view, you might consider setting it up to run like this

Also, you can set the position and size of any individual DMD by opening the registry editor (regedit.exe), navigating to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame and selecting the ROM name (in your case, "caveman"), and set the values for dmd_height, dmd_width, dmd_pos_x and dmd_pos_y.

 

(Caveman is a special case, however, since the DMD is split: The top shows the score and credit info, and the bottom shows the arcade playfield. I actually had to write an AutoHotKey script to relocate the DMD after the table starts so it shows up properly on my cabinet.)

You can do it in the table script also

Sub ACDC_Init
	vpmInit Me
    With Controller
		.GameName = "acd_170h"
		NVOffset (3)
		.GameName = cGameName
        .Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("rol") = 0
		.Games(pGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_pos_x") = 1780
		.Games(pGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_pos_y") = 738
		.Games(pGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_width") = 771
		.Games(pGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_height") = 140
        .SplashInfoLine = "AC/DC LUCI (Stern 2013)"

You can even set freezy's to use the vpm registry position and size
