Pinball FX2 DMD on second screen

[gigapig]

Right I'm a little stumped on this one so hopefully someone can put me right as this should be easy.

I have a 7 inch LCD in my cocktail table which is intended for showing the PBFX2 DMD and marquees while in mame.

I've been trying to move the DMD in PBFX2 to this screen but it will not move.  I've checked to guides and they say to set the DMD size to off and I have run a tool to set the position and create the config.

The playfield is vertical and the DMD is horizontal, the screens are set to "Extend" in the nVidia control panel.

If I alt-tab, the DMD is under the main screen kind of in the top left corner and I can't drag it anywhere even in windowed.

Finally my dotmatrix.cfg has a minus value which should be correct, but I'm not entirely sure where is should go. It's been tried in a documents folder and the root of the Steam PBFX2 folder.

Thanks in advance.

PS. How can I get PBFX2 to create it's own config, setting values in the settings does nothing or am I not hitting a button to save the values?

Haven't messed with any of that stuff but I'm assuming you have gotten a code from them to activate the cabinet features? 

Dunno if that's even tied to it

Thanks, I've had the game on Steam from before the Cab features were implemented and I'm pretty sure you only need the code if you were a new user. Besides I can launch the tables from RL just fine and that is launching via cli.

I will double check it though.

I ended up sending a message to Zen support who didn't really tell me anything new, however it did prompt me to try again.

The guy from support said to add the figures in the PBFX2 menu and did not mention the cfg. The problem was I was trying to add the minus value while a number was in the field, if I deleted the number I could then enter the - minus.

So finally got it working, what a relief.

Here you go. I clicked the link in my Amazon orders and it went to a different product but maybe that seller is out of stock.
