Hi!

I'm having this issue where the dmd/score window doesn't show up in some tables

More specifically, batman dataeast 91, and haunted house.

I have it set up in cabinet mode (windowed full screen)
Single screen.

Looking at the openned windows, the dmd window isn't showing in the tab.

Is this a script config of these tables or what?

Hi

 

Press F1 to open ROM menu

 

If you are playing with ROM DMD.

Mark "Cabinet mode"

Be shure if "Show DMD/Display window" is marked

 

If you are playing with DMD extensions

Unmark "cabinet mode'" and "Show DMD/Display window"

Mark "use external DMD (dll)"

 

ROM DMD you can drag and resize the window to your better position

For DMD extensions, you can drag and resize to your better postion . Right click and save the position

 

PS: for DMDextensions you will need to install the DMDextensions 2.4 32 and 64 bits

I`m using rom dmd, have it in cabinet mode and show dmd marked.

All tables but these 2 show the dmd/score screen.

If I use external dmd, it will show, but I don't want to use it, because external dmd's can't be rotated for a single portrait monitor.

Good reminder of why NOT to build new a cabinet this way.

 

But yeah, I kinda like the rom (VpinMame) DMD for some tables. Seems retro and I like it,.
