While updating FlexDMD, I forgot that I shouldn't write over my dmddevice configuration settings file, so every time I start a DMD table, the DMD now appears in the upper-right corner. Namely:

[random rom here]

virtualdmd left = 0

virtualdmd top = 0

virtualdmd width = 1024

virtualdmd height = 256

 

I don't want to re-size all of them but would prefer them to be in this default position and size for my cab:

 

[random rom here]

virtualdmd left = 4200
virtualdmd top = 780
virtualdmd width = 1200
virtualdmd height = 300
 
Is there an efficient way to do that? I just started to re-write my dmddevice file to have every rom listed in brackets with those four lines underneath each one, but doing that x300 would take a long time.
 
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

drag to rough starting place, size it
right click DMD
Save position globally

 

then you can fine tune per machine if you need


then make a backup copy


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

Spend it on Hookers and Blow

You do have the default DMDDevice.ini file right? Default values are stored starting line 49: 

 

; x-axis of the window position
left = 0
 
; y-axis of the window position
top = 0
 
; width of the dmd in monitor pixels
width = 1024
 
; height of the dmd in monitor pixels
height = 256

Strange, my dmddevice.ini file is basically barren. Wonder why. But the global save works great. Thanks, wiesshund and deadmanworking!
