nebrunner Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've got my 3 screens set to plain black background right now but I was wondering if it is even possible to create something that would look good on a 3 screen cabinet. It would be cool to have a background that showed the hyperpin logo in the right aspect ratio for each screen. Or even for the playfield and backglass, maybe the dmd is pushing it. For instance, I have monitors set up in what I think is the standard pattern from left to right [playfield 1920x1080] [backglass 1280x1024] [dmd 800x600 but only the top 1/4 is showing] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punter1 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Haven't tried this yet, but looks like displayfusion.com has something that will do this. Free version should do it. I need to try this that way there is something on the DMD when its not in use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizninsane Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I created a custom background in Photoshop for the DMD screen. The background is the same aspect ratio of my third monitor and I only filled the top portion of it with a DMD style version of the hyperpin logo. Here's a jpg of the background and a shot of the end result: Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citizninsane Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 How it works,,,???that this LOGO is working only on Pins without a DMD Yea, it's just there as a filler when you're in the Hyperpin table selection UI and when the table DMD is being represented inside if the directb2s file. For example, the Black Hole DMD screen is actually in the directb2s backglass so the screen designated for the DMD isn't in use. Instead of it being a solid black desktop background or some other picture, I just use this instead. The DMD's on the games that aren't part of the backglass just go over it...just like they would on any other desktop background, make sense? It's not interactive at all, just a quick and dirty hack to fill the DMD screen when it's not in use by Hyperpin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 FYI, I've got HyperPin running with 3 screens on my PC (in preparation for building a mini pincab eventually) and use DisplayFusion to show the logo on all 3 screens. The free version lets you put a different picture on each screen, and the paid for version adds such things as multiple wallpaper profiles, custom scaling / rotation etc per screen, and lots of other features that are very useful on a desktop PC but unnecessary for a cabinet.
