I have installed the PinUp Player several times. I see Terry’s install videos, but I have one problem.
The DMD always open on my playfield. I tested this in Tron and Attack from Mars.
If I start the “PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays.bat” the DMD is correct at the backglass.
I installed the newest version. I have Freezy’s “DmdDevice.dll” version 1.6.1. I mark “Use external DMD”.
So I hope, someone can tell me, why the DMD isn’t open at the backglass, if I start the tables from VP.

That is the virtual DMD from dmdext
You need to configure where you want it to be positioned (or disable it if you use a real dmd)…all which is configured in dmdevoce.ini

Hi Joey, it is in this part of the dmddevice.ini:
The values are an example from my setup.

Thanks, I read this in Mark’s thread with his problems and tested it also.
I could write, what I want. If I open the table it is always the same.
Changes are written, but ignored.
My ini-File:

You could try to set:
“use VPM’s registry values when positioning the virtual dmd useregistry = false” to “true” and see if that moves your dmdYou need to login in order to like this post: click here

Thanks, but I try that also. No change. The DMD is always opened on the playfield at position 0,0. I give up, because I don’t know, what else I can try.

Didn’t you a one time install dmdext to system folders ? You are sure that the old stuff is cleaned out properly ?

I am sure you already cheked that, but could there still be a another dmddevice.ini somewhere on your system?
I mean in addition to the one that has to be in vpinmame folder.

OK, guys, i’ve got it. It was really, that I have more .ini.
I have it in the UltraDMD- and the Unit3D-Install-Folder.
I delete it there and now the DMD is where it has to be.
Thanks for your help.

Glad you got it working.
When I say in my setup videos, that you need to make sure you don’t have any dmdext files anywhere else except for vpinmame…. this is the reason why.
This is from bad habits that fixed other problems last year easily but cause issues with other programs. Not a problem if you know what you are doing, and you can keep track of it all.

Fortunately, it is living document. But, I was amazed when I saw the recommendation to how to install eg. dmdext.
