[QUOTE="VFansss, post: 245157, member: 6259"] Hello to everyone :) It's my first post but I've followed this section for weeks, after I've decided to build my mini-pinball cabinet (mini mainly for space purpose). After month of little work and wrong direction, my hardware are almost finished. Than I've choosed to use PinArcade to make the software side of my project, using obliviously the NoEx mod cause has done an AMAZING job for implementing custom view and the Cabinet Mode for backglass and DMD. Now, for almost 2 week, I'm ruining my head against configuring my backglass: I'm using 1.49.9 version of PA and the corrisponding version of FreeCam Mod (I've buyed the game,the table on sale, downloaded the mod LOT of time ago and gone offline with Steam like someone suggested cause FarSight do lot of update unnecessary for my cabinet that didn't have a fixed Wifi Card. Also I saw that they update the UI, and for like I set up my mini-pinball I can't even MOVE in the menu with my arcade buttons. Very poor solution from them). Now I'm getting [B]SERIOUS MAD[/B] cause I've a problem that I can't solve. Isn't an [B]hardware problem[/B] cause I've tried it on 2 different monitor and also on a different hardware, so I'm almost sure that I didn't fully understand [B]HOW[/B] the mod work. I've followed the [URL="http://1drv.ms/1Om8uvX"]Robert Misner[/URL] tutorial for setting up the game and the mod. Then I've activated the Cabinet mode, set the DMD and backglass on the SAME monitor (cause I've done a 2 monitor configuration: one for playfield and the other for DMD/Backglass). The problem? The DMD miniscreen is scaled down, so the 'cutted' piece of the DMD from the main table display also some parts of the main table, and it look AWFUL cause when pinball move I can see moving parts of the main playfield on the DMD window. The final effect it's very unsettling. [U]Can't post screenshot right now, I will do it as soon as I can[/U]. I've searched on the forum and [URL="http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/11498-video-link-with-my-dmd-issue"]THIS [/URL]mate has the same [URL="https://youtu.be/sXnawDAePqc"]PROBLEM[/URL] (in the video the problem show up very clearly at 0:30), but the posted solution doesn't work. The first solution isn't right cause if I resize the dmd window simply resize the total dimension, but the mini-dmd-windows keep on to displaying part of main table. The second one simply doesn't fix anything, and also keep the fix the topdown view. I've worked a lot on my project, and I really like Pinball Arcade over other solutions. I've "builded" my cab around the mod cause I really like it, but now I've tried all the way and can't solve this very unsettling "bug". I'm very tired of trying to tweak every settings of the game/mod without solving anything. Tried on 2 different configurations (1366*768 main and 1024*768 secondary and even on my gaming pc with 2 1920*1080 monitor) and I have the same problem. Can someone please help me? :( [/QUOTE]
