      This is kind of System and more FX3 related.

      – Freezy 1.7.1
      – Pinup system 1.4.1
      – real DMD

      Using default FX3 emulator loading script (using legacy),
      —> DMD doesn’t work in FX3

      – Upgrade to Freezy 1.7.2 (don’t have to run DMDExt as admin)
      – Pinup system 1.4.1
      – real DMD

      If I run
      “dmdext mirror –source=pinballfx3 –no-virtual”
      as a batch script on startup before loading Pinup system, then my pinDMD2 works perfectly in FX3 (and VPX).
      —> DMD works!! in FX3

      However, if I update the PUP System launch script to the same non legacy as abaove… it doesn’t work.
      Also tried both legacy, non legacy and tried leaving default PinupSystem 1.4.1 script + Freezy 1.7.1 and 1.7.2, nothing works. Only running my separate BAT script at startup works (with PinDMD2).

      The workaround is fine, however would be better if the script could load within the emulation launch script window to keep everything in the system.

      Anyway… for anyone else having issues with DMD in FX3, this may help.

        yeah,  its a dmdext issue and timing.

        like if you start fx3 and then put

        timeout 10

        dmdext…etc

        so dmdext starts after 10 seconds of fx3 it should work… that’s the workaround i hear works.  I use legacy mode 1.7.1 for now as I have way too many issues with new fx3 tables and dmdext.

          I too use batch  script on startup before loading Pinup system seems to work fine here. I am using 1.72mjr modded version of freezy and running pindmd2 if that matters

            At one point I added timeout 3 seconds and couldn’t get it to work. Looks like I was out by 7 seconds LOL.

                @outhere :  interesting… i guess using that fx3 launcher is a ‘delay’ in itself so helps with timing.

                  Hi

                  How would the launch script look with the delay time out look

                  I get everything up but I need to start like three times to get pup-pack to start in aliens

                  this is what I just tried with out luck…

                  @echo off
                  rem remove rem to setup your DMDEXT press “open examples for more info”
                  cd “C:\pinball\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME”
                  start /min “” “dmdext.exe” mirror –source=pinballfx3 –fx3-legacy -q -d virtual –virtual-hide-grip –virtual-position=7680 66 1280 654 –pinup PINUP\[GAMENAME]

                      I have tried a lot of variations and i just cant get it to work…
                      I had it working after i started and stopped and started over again a few times… so i know it works it just wont start at start if you know what i meen…
                      I get the start video for aliens the yellow dmd video starts running and then the dmd goes almost blank, you can see the dmd dots but it is not lit… after a short while it goes black and stays black. I get the alien backglas video frame but no video is running.
                      Should I have any special setting in the pup-pack editor? for DMD on off forced…

                      I think my problem is a timing issue

                          This is how my Aliens pup-pack looks… is this correct?

                                  Hi Nailbuster
                                  Have tried your time out suggestion with no luck… there is something blocking and timing looks to be the one thing I can think off…
                                  I have posted a picture of my puppack editor with aliens… Just want to know if it is correct.
                                  The screens are in the right place.
                                  I have had the pup pack working by stopping starting back and forth between Alien leagacy and Aliens.
                                  I tried a bunch of timing settings but probably not the right one…
                                  Please have a look in the thread if you have any Idea on what I could test next…
                                  I can only think of reinstalling otherwise… and would like to avoid it since everything else works but the Aliens PuP-pack (first pup-pack im trying)

                                      If you did not manually changed the aliens pup-pack then you have something set up wrong in the Pinup player
                                      I downloaded the pup-pack install it, Worked fine

                                        Hmm yes… i have tried a lot…

                                        I think ill will reinstall the pupack.

                                        Im starting to think i might have a problem with my script also since i have tried a lot with changing that.

                                        Can you please send me your fx3 start script in a textfile?
