[QUOTE="L33, post: 224675, member: 4681"] Cheers for the help last night Robert...made some progress this morning. First off, now I'm running the game in windowed mode the dmd does appear on start up. One thing Ive noticed i have to do on loading the first game, is to click on 'bring to front' to bring the dmd to the forefront. Not sure if there is a way to make this automatic, but it only has to be clicked on once and it will stay in the forefront even when selecting another table. I'll probably look at making a black trim around my dmd panel the same shape as the virtual dmd silver border...that way it'll look an absolutely perfect fit. I tried copying the dmd saved file for a few other games. First off was Addams Family. Then I realised that this is a different shape with the 'thing' letters at the bottom. So I 'cropped' the letters off and just had the dmd show instead. It's so easy to drag, size and save the virtual dmd. So I'll work through each of the tables manually. Ive also resized a couple of test images to 1920 x 1080. This size works well, although it could do with a slight shift to one side...not sure if thats possible? Anyhow, overall this mod is the dogs doodahs! Im going to have to go through every table and manually set everything up, but I guess everyone has to do this as everyones table setup is different from the next. Having tried a couple of games, its so much different having the dmd in place and the backglass image is the icing on the cake. Ive a lot of setting up to do regarding the camera angles etc, but I'm actually looking forward to doing this. Once again, cheers for the help, and MASSIVE credit to noex because this mod is just genius. Once Ive finished setting everything up I shall make sure to click on that little beer icon on the mod :) I feel a new video coming on...Ha Ha! This is as close to the real thing as one can get, and to be honest, playing the game like this makes you more likely to go out and buy the real deal. Ive already started looking :) (EDIT) Just had a thought on the DMD...when its resized it keeps its aspect ratio...is there a way to resize without keeping this ratio? For instance, F14 dmd is quite a bit longer and not as high as some, so when you resize it, its not possible to get it to fit without losing some of the display and when it does fit, there are noticeable gaps.
