My PinEvent releases for Future Pinball - BAM allow you to use PUP DMD with a PuP-Pack which gives you a modern DMD and video display instead of the standard Future Pinball DMD.

 

Pinup Player displays are a separate window, so they are not part of Future Pinball. This presents a problem for single screen users that run FP in fullscreen, as that means FP will cover the Pinup Player window.

 

 

 

Single Screen - Fullscreeen

 

With each PinEvent V2 table, I added a feature called PUP Stream. This allows Pinup Player's FullDMD / PuP-Pack to be streamed into FP so it can be displayed directly "in" the game itself while still allowing FP to run in FULLSCREEN.

 

This feature works in all modes (desktop, cabinet, vr), but it's really beneficial to desktop players with only one monitor (who can't normally see the PUP DMD) or VR users who want to see the PUP-Pack in VR.

Single Screen - Windowed

 

Another option, is to run FP in Windowed mode, and try to have the PuP-Pack display on top of FP, but that doesn’t always work right, and the pup-pack may still get covered (and the FP window borders look ugly).

 

I’ve added a Single Screen Windowed PuP-Pack option for PinEvent V2 tables (soon to be released) that will force FP into Borderless Windowed mode, and make it so the PuP-Pack will always be visible on top of the FP window.

 

 

 

I have two new written guides in PDF format that will cover how to use both methods.

 

- Single Screen and PuP-Packs - PUP Stream Guide

- Single Screen and PuP-Packs - Windowed Guide

- these new guides has been created to be used with the FP and BAM Essentials AIO package

- all my guides and tutorials are now only included with the FP and BAM Essentials AIO package

 

 

 

You can download the FP and BAM Essentials AIO package (with both guides included) here:
