DMD won't stay on top in openGL version

[SquashBacher]

Hi all, I've been having an issue trying to get the openGL version of VPX to keep the external DMD on top of the playfield. I have the following set in my dmddevice.ini file:

 

; a DMD that renders with nice dots on a computer monitor
[virtualdmd]
enabled = true

; virtual dmd stays on top of all other windows
stayontop = true

 

I also have my video/graphics settings on windowed, including for specific table overrides. The DMD displays on top just fine for the DirectX version, and it will also work in OpenGL if I set the window resolution to be smaller than my actual monitor resolution.

 

Any ideas?

thats a "feature" of the GL version, unfortunately.

more techsavvy people than me could explain in detail whats exactly causing the issue. same is happening with the F1 - Vpinmame menu, you have to alt+tab to see it.

Ah, that's a shame then. I was hoping to exclusively use GL as the exe for my frontend since it can auto-detect a headset connection, but I think instead I'll settle for manually switching the exe between GL and DirectX depending on if I'm using VR or not.
