      Hey guys, anyone running Pizza Time successfully on a desktop setup? I can’t keep the DMD on the screen. It appears when I first launch the table but as soon as I insert credit or press start it looses focus. I tried different pupinit files but no luck and a few other things that worked for me in the past but no luck.

        NEW: Alternate Option from Nailbuster

        • he came up with a new idea that might help getting puppacks to work with desktop users (single screen)
        • it should be super-easy, as you just extract the files from this zip into the puppack folder (remember to UNBLOCK the zip)
        • then run your vp / fp / fx3 in Borderless Windowed mode
        • note: this may push the vpx / FP / fx3 window behind your taskbar (because this option is always pushing those windows behind the pup-pack)
        • that is normal, and the only option is to use another app to hide your taskbar if you don’t like it being visible
        • this works well with Pinup Popper front-end… however it may have issues with other front-ends

        File is here:

          Thanks Terry, that worked outside of my front end but no so much once launching from HS. However, I did ultimately fix it by editing the pup pack and setting BG and DMD to force on.

            I’m trying to install Harry Potter – GoF on a desktop. I don’t understand this instruction:

            – backup your pinupplayer.ini. Then create a custom pinup player.ini with your pup DMD sized to a 16:9 ratio and positioned to the top left, and your BG sized at 16:9 ratio and positioned to the top right. Copy this new pinupplayer.ini to the “hpgof” pup-pack folder. (replace your default ini with the backed up one)

            I’m copying the pinupplayer.ini inside C:/PinUpSystem. How do you size to 16:9 ratio and position to the top left or right?

            Where is the “hpgof” directory supposed to be?

            What is the purpose of replacing the default ini with a copy of itself?

            Thanks in advance!

              Hi Terry,

              “backup your pinupplayer.ini. Then create a custom pinup player.ini with your pup DMD sized to a 16:9 ratio and positioned to the top left, and your BG sized at 16:9 ratio and positioned to the top right. Copy this new pinupplayer.ini to the “hpgof” pup-pack folder. (replace your default ini with the backed up one)”

              How do I do this exactly? Open the pinupplayer.ini with a texteditor and manually change it? There are 10 ‘info’ screens in that .ini, which ones do I need to change?

              You also have 2 screenshots of ‘pinup player displays’, how can I open these? I tried to run all the exe files in the Pinup folder.
