[QUOTE="murve33, post: 298110, member: 6269"] Bumping this absolutely ancient thread. Circumstances finally allowed me to work on my pinball cab. It's one desktop computer with my TV screen on one side of the room, and then a two-monitor cab on the other side of the room; so not a dedicated cab. The simplicity in this tool is great, and I'm happy I finally found it (the free camera mod was such a headache). Thank you Larry for your work on this. One tip to make this look great. Set your BackGlass Width and Height to be larger than your 2nd monitor's resolution and then set your BackGlass Loc X to -10 and your Loc Y to a value that surpasses the resolution. It looks fullscreen on my setup. Some day I'll make a dedicated cab (maybe when VPE is up-and-running) but until then, this is great! Edit: Wow this hasn't been updated in a while, so it's missing a huge chunk of backglass images. Plus the app forces TPA into windowed mode. My new (much better) solution is to just display the backglass images in IrfanView in fullscreen mode. Now I can use GIFs, and quickly scroll through with the scroll wheel! Idk why I didn't think of that sooner... [/QUOTE]
