Hi everyone,

 

I need some help regarding volume control on older pinball tables that don’t use a DMD. I'm specifically referring to tables like Blackout by Williams, where the score displays are rendered directly on the playfield and there's no virtual DMD window.

 

On modern DMD tables, I can usually press the º key (tilde/backtick on some keyboards) and use the flipper buttons to navigate and adjust the volume, or alternatively press End and use the 8 and 9 keys to control volume. However, none of these options seem to work on these older, non-DMD tables.

 

I’ve checked the VPinMAME settings (via F1), and the option “Show DMD” is enabled, but as expected, no DMD appears for these types of tables.

 

I’ve searched the forum and found similar posts, but none of the suggested solutions work for tables like Blackout, where the score is part of the actual backglass or playfield artwork and there’s no virtual DMD.

 

Is there any way to adjust the volume on these older tables?

 

Maybe through registry edits, script changes, or some VPM hack I’m missing?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance.

Set the  .hidden to 0  in the Table_Init  for the VPM score window to be visible and then click on it and do the tilde thing.
