Using baller installer with virtual DMD on two screen cab. I'm using a "Full DMD" b2s file but instead of getting the full dmd to display, it's just the regular back glass image with the virtual DMD on the bottom. It's functional, but it doesn't look natural. Is it not possible to get a "full dmd" display with the DMD integrated into the back glass with two screens?

Yes, but that is determined by the VP table and PuP-Pack options and how they were made. They can provide options for 2 screen support and have the FullDMD display on your backglass monitor correctly for you. you can see this on Die Hard, GOTG, Iron Maiden, BM66, etc

 

Sadly, there hasn't been a consistent standard used for all VP tables, so not all of them will have these options, and not all of them are done the same.

 

I've shown how this can easily be done with every PinEvent V2 table (on FP) that I've released that has a PuP-Pack option for every setup out there.

Thank you. I realized shortly after that the issue was indeed using b2s files that were not designed with two screens in mind. I found one for two screens (Tom and Jerry) and was able to hide the virtual DMD and have the full DMD display on the back glass as designed.
