Hiall after installing virtual dmd, ALL vpx tables now won't show the dmd, no matter how much i press f5. the dmd is in another window that is njust not shown inside the pinball, pressing alt-tab just does nothing the window with the dmd is still "external" and is not inside the gamefield

 

dmd is "there", if i ran vpinmame test is shows correctly, it just won't be on the playfield

Are you running in "Exclusive Fullscreen" mode? If so, you will need to uncheck that in Video options.

Or click the DMD window in your toolbar to bring it to front, then click on the DMD with mouse and move it a bit back and forth. Then click window with table, and DMD should stay on top of playfield window.

i did both, if I toggle exclusive Fullscreen , the windows is like a postcard and still the dmd is in a separate window.

 

moving and scrolling around (like i usually did) it's not working anymore now since i installed this virtual dmddevice

Go into your VPinMAME folder and you should see a DmdDevice.ini file. Open that with Notepad, and you will see a section that says...

 

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

 

Make sure it says =True

 

 

Also make sure the section right above it also says = True

 

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

 

As seen in pic.

Thank you for this I did lots of different options for my controller, from stopping the left analogue stick from controlling the ball, to stopping the flippers sticking etc. and the last thing I found was this and thought I'd check the options and your suggestion fixed this now!!!

 

Seems to be working fine now!!! Many thanks
