Black Knight 2000 quiet again; can't turn it up in VPX...


Best Answer tabascoman77 , 20 January 2025 - 03:45 AM

Fixed. Here's what I did: I had to right-click on the actual backglass which brought up the B2S settings. This will enable you to make the DMD visible by going to "DMD" and selecting "Visible" from the dropdown menu. Why that overrides PinMAME is beyond me but it works.

I am at a loss here...I HAD the volume in BK2000 turned up...and now it's back down and you can barely hear the volume. Pressing F12 no longer works and brings up the regular adjustment menus which don't have any impact on the volume. Trying to do all the past tricks no longer work.

 

How do I turn the volume up in BK2000?

Click the score window, then the tilde (~) key, then use the arrow keys to scroll and adjust options :)

As I said, that trick isn't working. The VPM DMD won't show up even though I tell it to show the DMD. When I run Test in VPM, the DMD shows up to the left of the backglass and I can mess around with the Tilde key -- but nothing will save so that's pointless. When I launch BK2000 in VPX, that same DMD is nowhere to be found and I can't locate it under any windows.

That's odd, I just tested version 2.0.2 of UnclePaulie's BK 2000 in VPX 8 RC4 r1975 with VPinMAME 3.6 r998 (both 64-bit) and I can make the extra DMD window show and hide with the F1 key menu just fine.

Did you change anything in your VP software setup since you had it working before?

I didn't change a thing. I don't know what happened. VPM Test can pull it up, but turning the DMD on using F1 doesn't work at all.

Try the ~ trick via vpinmame directly and not by starting the table.

In vpinmame then check the box to use the DMD and untick "external DMD".

After starting the DMD should show up in the upper left corner.

 

If it´s not visible then it is maybe out of the screen or very very small, try Alt-tab to grap it.

Meant to respond sooner: I will try this out tonight and see how it goes.

Tried this and it didn't work. Still not working. The PinMAME DMD is stubbornly not showing up no matter what I do. Only the external shows if I tick the External box.
