DMD Extensions Installer

[mon72]

Found a error in the wiki (I think)

I have highlighted where the space is… Just to avoid confusion…

cd “C:\VisualPinball\VPinMAME”  “no space between visual and Pinball “

start /min “” “dmdext.exe” mirror –source=pinballfx3 -q -d virtual –fx3-legacy –virtual-hide-grip –virtual-position=5786 514 1560 375 –pinup PINUP\[GAMENAME]

START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” 5 10 20 “Pinball FX3”

SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_1
if “[ALTMODE]”==”classic” (SET ALTPARAM=-class )
if “[ALTMODE]”==”hotseat2” (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_2 )
if “[ALTMODE]”==”hotseat3” (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_3 )

@outhere:  just an fyi and others too…. vpinball forum software is not great when you copy/paste from it…all the double-quotes for example are ‘fancy’ and if someone copy/pastes that line into their script it will fail with weird character errors.

need to set “code” format when pasting in forums i think is solution.

for %%f in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i "%%f" -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 22 -profile:v baseline -vf "transpose=1" -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy "pup_convert\%%f"

Hi Outhere

Tested your line without legacy (@Nailbuster fixed the dubble — )

No progress,

I have found the correct virtual size for the DMD. With the legacy option in the script it places a DMD with dark dots (not lit) on the DMD and when the game starts it turns black… and the backbox turns to desktop image. and also I get this error message…

The DMD and the backbox image works for VPX and Indiana Jones with no problem… This all started when I wanted to use a better DMD for FX3 because I think I had it dubbled, I have followed all instructions in the wiki regarding dmdext…
I have moved the FX3 dmd offscreen it has the exaxt value stated in the instructions and it is borderless window. I have tested with admin on FX3.exe and DMDext.exe but that did not work so I have put them as non admin.

Any Ideas?

Good morning Outhere
I tried “auto” yesterday with no change…
I have the DMDext putting up a non lit DMD… but the moment the game starts it goes completely black and the Alien image from the backbox goes to desktop and if I don’t have leagacy so does the DMD. So to summarize I need the legacy because it puts up the DMD even though it is not lit…
I followed the instructions and put backbox reposition to off and if I put it to on/enabled then then backbox works… I have not tried with the DMD but I guess that it is the same… Maybe I should put the backbox repositioning to on?
Will the frame grab work then? Why are we putting it to reposition off?

Try this, it is working for me

You should be able to copy and paste

start /min "" "dmdext.exe" mirror --source=pinballfx3 -q -d virtual --virtual-hide-grip --virtual-position=5786 514 1560 375 --pinup PINUP\[GAMENAME]

not yet. there is no 1.7.3 so does that mean none of the above works?
