      Just wanted to share with you my idea since I just tested it and it works perfectly. I am on Win10, a 2 monitors + pindmd3 set up, and I use the dmdext mirror option on CCC. If you want to see only ONE dmd, so hide the ultradmd which is on your backglass (didn’t work for me to put it under the playfield), you can just buy this cheap hdmi (or a dp) dummy plug to  make windows believe there is a 3rd monitor. In the windows displays panel, put it just under the 2nd screen.
      Then you will just have  to change your Y axis in the user_settings.yaml and the same in the cmd file you created for PinballX. And tadam!

        Looks like a nice idea – Going to try with CCC

        With pindmd3 the only way you can get it to show ultradmd games is by mirroring?

        So it’s not like Pin2DMD – Ultradmd talks straight to Pin2DMD

          Nope, I do not have to mirror anything on the other ultradmd tables. Only on CCC.

            I guess I didn’t understand why you are referencing ultradmd when CCC is not an ultradmd game

              Oh, my mistake, I thought it was also ultradmd. So I meant this P-Roc thing. :P

                On CCC when you mirror the DMD do you lose a lot of the Brightness, Clarity?

                  I just setup dmdext and at first i didnt have the virtualdmd sized properly and my real dmd looked awful but i resized virtual to the settings in docs from freezy and its very nice now. works great on fx2/3 tables too and i thought i would never need dmdext but indeed there is a need after all :good:

                    FX3 works great

                    Pinball FX2 settings
                    Width: 1040
                    Height: 272
                    This is what I get when I use this line – Looks terrible and does not fill out the full pin2dmd
                    start /min “” “dmdext.exe” mirror -s pinballfx2 -d pin2dmd –pinup PINUP\[GAMENAME]

                    20190428_202944

                    If I use this line it fills out the pin2DMD but still looks terrible
                    start /min “” “dmdext.exe” mirror –source=screen –position=3950 35 1040 272 -d pin2dmd –pinup PINUP\[GAMENAME]

                      I have pindmd2 and looks perfect. Strange! Fx3 and fx2.

                      dmdext mirror -d pindmdv2 –source=pinballfx2 –no-virtual -q true

                                And for CCC no matter what virtualdmd I use it looks terrible Even if I reproduce it to another LCD

                                      Glad to read that @bruce . :) About CCC mirroring, with these settings in user_settings.yaml, my DMD looks perfect :

                                      Ball Search Bart Strength: 40, Balls Per Game: 3, Color Display Dot Style: ROUND,
                                        Color Display Pixel Size: 4, Color Display X Offset: 2150, Color Display Y Offset: 850,

                                      My cmd file :

                                      @echo off
                                      start dmdext.exe mirror –source screen –position 2150 850 512 128 –no-virtual

                                        FYI. For my 4 monitor rig using Virtual DMD on a 720p display I use..

                                        DMD Std Size: 1360×320 @ 3840×140 (Pinball FX2 FX3)

                                        Display pixels/size is flawless at this resolution

                                          I’m having some issues running the PROC version of Cactus Canyon Continued. The table will load but most of the time I can’t start the game. The ball doesn’t release into the trough. Sometimes I can start a game but when the ball drains or goes into the mine lock it never comes back into play. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It’s an awesome table.
