I’m trying to use this awesome looking 3-screen B2S with Firepower vs AI v1.0.4.  The backglass seems to be working great, but I’m not seeing the fancy DMD.  I’m not sure what to do to get the DMD working correctly.  Any hints?  Maybe it won’t work with the AI version?

Thanks!

Go to your tables folder

click the B2S set up file

place the position of where your dmd is, in the LED section.

You may need to do this several times to get it just right.

Thanks for the response, rgarriott.   Sorry I wasn’t very clear.  My DMD is working great.  I see the default DMD for every table I have installed.  In the case of this new B2S created by Kellogs, there’s a new DMD with fancy borders and graphics – his picture above shows it.  I’m not able to see the new DMD, only the old, standard one with no graphics or borders.  I’ll show some pics when I get a chance.

Thanks!

I get that your dmd is working. But for these 3 screen b2s backglasses you need to put the dmd location in the led section of the b2s set up file like i showed in the above post.

When you put the location in the led section it will place the new 3 screen dmd over top of the default dmd.

Once you have those coordinates in there any other 3 screen b2s files you have downloaded or will download will automatically show the new fancy dmd.

Thanks to your help, rgarriott, I made progress tonight.  I got the fancy DMD to display in the right location on the right monitor for Funhouse.  So I assumed the same settings would work for Firepower.  I have two new findings that I’m trying to solve.

1. The settings from Funhouse don’t work for Firepower – I didn’t spend much time troubleshooting but I don’t see the fancy DMD anywhere in Firepower when using my Funhouse settings.
2. The fancy DMD in Funhouse works great when running it directly from VPX.  However, when running Funhouse from the Pinball X frontend the default DMD covers up the fancy DMD a few seconds after starting the fancy DMD instead of the other way around.

Thanks for all the help!!  It’s starting to look great.

Same settings will work for Firepower and others

See post above for move info that may be helpful –> 2 and 3 Screen set-up and more

Sounds like a setting in pinballx

I have it semi-working now.  But there seems to be trade-offs that I’m not sure how I want to handle.

The thing that was causing the fancy DMD to be overwritten on my screen was that VPinMame’s DMD was turned on and it’s placed at the same coordinates – over the top of the fancy DMD.  If I turn VPM DMD off then it always works as expected (fancy DMD is shown).  However, I like VPM’s DMD on for most of the tables – eg older tables or tables without a fancy DMD.  That’s the trade-off as far as I can tell.

This makes it even more confusing…  For Firepower, the fancy DMD works fine – always on top.  It seems to have saved this somewhere.  However, for Funhouse, the VPM DMD shows up on top.  If I move the VPM DMD out of the way the Funhouse fancy DMD is there, but it won’t save this config.

Anyway, I’ll keep working it but wanted to report what I’ve found so far.
