Hi All,

 

currently I'd like to setup VPX 10.8 and VPMame 3.6 on a single portrait screen but anyhow I try, I cannot hide/disable the builtin DMD. I'd like to use Freezy's DMD solution. See the left side of the screenshot, it's partially hidden behind the backglass. Also, I want to get rid of the backglass entirely.

 

I have spent hours trying to figure it out, changing registry, un/reinstalling/trying multiple versions, all had some kind of issue. Now, aside from these two issues, it would be fine for me, but I just can't solve this...

 

Sometimes I feel that my settings are not even picked up by VPX.

 

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Press f1 and disable "show dmd". enable external
I hope that link helps:

Thank you, this seems to work, but now the Freezy DMD is not shown on top of the table (but everything else...)

Is there a global setting for its location or do I need to adjust per table?

 

I have show dmd set to disable, which is also reflected in the registry but did not help.

check your dmddevice.ini for this:

; a DMD that renders with nice dots on a computer monitor
[virtualdmd]
enabled = true

 

; virtual dmd stays on top of all other windows
stayontop = true

 

You can use windowspunch:

Right mouseclick on the backglass, - backglass-menu opens. Click on more.. activate b2swindowspunch active .. make a test.. your DMD should be on top now. It tooks 3 seconds and b2sserver cuts a hole for your dmd.
you can move your freezy-dmd with your mouse and size it. than right click on it. Now you can save this for this table - (romname) or for every table.

Wow, what functions exist! However, it seems to have been solved by setting input API to Xinput, although I don't exactly know what this did, but so far so good.
