  • 1.3 EnJoY !
     

2. If you use this b2s with the table version "Diner VPX 1.2 (Williams 1990) by flupper1": [table link here]

Hope you'll like it ! It was so much work compared to my Black Hole b2s (starting with recreating a high-resolution image of the translite from 8 partial pictures with differents deformation angles :o )

@Cognis your B2S options are correct ( Grill: Hidden, DMD: Hidden, B2SDMD: Visible ), you should see the B2SDMD on your 3rd monitor.

Is it the fisrt B2S you're trying to setup on 3 screens ?

In this case maybe have a look to ScreenRes Editor : http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=18020

Or SetDMD : https://www.pinballbulbs.com/files/setdmd.html

(I never tested my 3scr version because I have a 2 scr mini-pincab but I think it work)

Sincerely

No it's not my first as I've used SetDMD successfully for all my other tables. whenecer I have grill enabled and dmd enabled I get the grill and dmd to show up correctly. This might be the first B2S that I selected to display the B2S dmd. I see it showing up on my 2nd monitor (backglass display) and when I Alt-Tab I see it as a formDMD window. If I'm successfully able to have regular DMDs showing on my 3rd monitor why wouldn't a B2S dmd follow suit?

I'm at work at the moment but will review those suggested links first chance I get. Thanks Blacksad & Outhere.

SetDMD has nothing to do with B2S generated alphanumeric displays. The position of the B2S display is defined by the setting parameters in screenres.txt.

 

I don't know why they call it B2SDMD. B2S does not generate dot matrix displays. You would only use B2S generated scoring for the older LED alphanumeric displays (basically 80s era tables).
