misfit Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Hey all - Hoping someone can clue me into what I am missing. I recently upgraded my cabinet to 64-bit, acquired a Meta Quest 2 VR headset, and started my VPVR adventure. Got everything upgraded and working in 64-bit for non-VR; B2S, external DMD, etc. Unfortunately when I play tables in VR I see a backglass, but no DMD. I have tested with the new VPW Big Bang Bar release as well as a couple older tables like Medieval Madness. The DMDs work just fine in non-VR mode, but I get nothing in VR. I have the VR settings to capture both the backglass and external DMD enabled. Not sure what else I am missing. Anyone have any suggestions??? - Visual Pinball GL x64 ver. 10.8.0-775 - VPinMAME x86 & x64 ver. 3.6 - DmdDevice x86 & x64 ver. 2.0 Edited April 5, 2023 by misfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are yuou using in your cab for a DMD, Real or LCD? And np, I share what little I know because everyone should experience these wonderful tables in VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the tables I have been attempting to test VR with have the "Use External DMD" table option selected, but I tried to verify just to be sure. Unfortunately, hitting F1 while the table is running in VR doesn't do anything; no menu pops up or anything. Works perfectly fine if running standard VP, just not VPVR. Weird...

misfit Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) If it helps, here are my VPVR settings for both 10.7 and 10.8. And for clarity, I'm running a virtual / LCD DMD + Freezy 2.0 Edited April 11, 2023 by misfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studlygoorite Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Another way to check it is to run the "Setup.exe" for VPinMAME found in your VPinMAME Folder, click "setup defaults" and make sure "Use External DMD (dll)" is selected there. Other than that you could try another build other than v775, there were issues just before that build with DMDs and after so it couldn't hurt. I am on v925 right now. One last thing, if you are running the "pac" files for color DMDs I have heard of people having issues with their DMDs in VR because of it. Not sure if there was a fix for it though but you could come ask in the Virtual Pinball Group Discord here https://discord.gg/cQaFjdDWdS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
