    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    To me this validates my Wild Ass Guess speculation that the Bally/Williams license holders were fed up with Farsight's poor execution and have switched to someone they think can deliver. :cool: I prefer Farsight's physics overall, but their terrible UI, sloppy execution on platform ports and...

    Arcooda Cabinet Mode beta: cabinet_beta -

    Thanks for letting us try out a cabinet beta. Black main screen at launch as others have noted, can alt-tab to bring it up. All the tables I tried play about half speed for me. I was able to play a tournament table and even the timer ran at half speed. After switching back out of the beta I...

    Arcooda Cabinet Mode with PinDMD v2

    Until the PR gets put in a binary, you can rename the PinballArcadeCabinet.exe binary to PinballArcade11.exe (after naming the existing version to something like PinballArcade11.exe.original) and tell TPA to run DX 11 version, DMD support will work.

    In praise of Arcooda Cabinet mode in Pinball Arcade!

    Agreed. If a person has more money than time, the $149 cabinet mode is an easy spend. If you have more time than money, you may not feel it is worth it with the alternatives out there.

    In praise of Arcooda Cabinet mode in Pinball Arcade!

    My quick impressions with three screen after a weekend playing. The benchmark for me is FreeCameraMod + DMDExt. That gives me the camera angle I want for the cab, my DMD running on machines that have one, and a static backglass picture. An amazing pair of tools thanks to Freezy and NoEx...

    If you are only interested in cabinet mode, no need to buy season 7 - no tables from that season are in the cabinet version. They ran out of time. But of course you may want it to grab the Bally/Williams tables while you can.

    Ah yes, you are right - titles like Funhouse don't work, hadn't tried one of those yet. I didn't even realize source=screen was an option. I gotta try that for those. Cool! Thanks!

    What I do is run 3 screen mode even though I only have two monitors and a DMD. The backglass, playfield, and dmd are separate windows. DMD window stays hidden behind the main window and dmdext mirrors that to my DMD. That way I don't have the DMD on both the backglass and DMD as it would be...

    I just submitted a PR to Freezy's dmd-extensions in Github.

    I messed with DMDExt some more just now. DMDext does not work by default. It is looking for PinballArcade11.exe and there is a new binary PinballAracdeCabinet.exe. If you rename PinballArcadeCabinet.exe to PinballArcade11.exe, DMDExt works like a champ for both 2 and 3 screen cabinet mode...

    I have a Virtuapin cabinet - two monitors and real DMD. I futzed with this for a few hours, my impressions: No copy/paste in TPA to enter the long ass cabinet code. Annoying. Lack of attention to detail. Someone in this thread mentioned not to use negative numbers for positioning, for my...

    Got the latest DL too. Steam launch slightly less broken now. Config util shortcut doesn’t run. Cabinet mode just launched regular mode. Anyone else have any luck?

    Waiting Impatiently Another smooth release from Farsight. Release it totally broken. Withdraw the update after two hours and leave the steam launcher totally broken in the process. Promise Arcooda a fix in the morning and fail to deliver that. Don’t make any minimum effort to update your...

    Who is that goofball "expert" that only has about half his facts about PBA history correct?
