Future Pinball: Saving Position and Dimensions

[sgeist28]

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but for some reason I cannot get the DMD position and size settings to be persistent, even though I can see they are being saved in Dmddevice.ini.

Visual Pinball X and FX3 both are working perfectly.

I've attached both DmdDevice.ini and my FP launch script from Pinup Popper for reference.

I am running latest official version of DMDext (dmdext-v1.10.2). Previous versions also had same issue.

If you have a chance, can you please review and let me know if you can identify where I might be going wrong?

Another thread is out there where I mentioned that version 1.10 is no better at resizing, especially the Height value not increase-able over the default value.

found additional dmdext folder from previous install that was not cleaned up [didnt solve however is something to note]

hit F1 disable dmd... updating to the new x64 pinup popper makes a new default config as it updates to 10.8. not related to freezy dmd ext, its related to the install not stating to disable this This doesnt actually fix the problem.

Screenres.txt may be corrupted? https://github.com/vpinball/b2s-backglass/wiki/Screenres.txt didnt solve

found this gold nugget:

Solved

I installed the exe/msi vpinmame a while back which made a config file in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\VPINMAME\DmdDevice.ini' deleting this allows me to save again!!!!

Please re-test with 2.2.0 and let me know how it goes. Feel free to re-open if it still bugs. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to edit DmdDevice.ini, though :)
