Visual Pinball X (VPX) - setting up Freezy DMDext v1.9.0

[ItchyRobot]

This is a guide for getting Freezy's DMD extension working for Visual Pinball X. It basically skins the out-of-the-box default low res DMD that comes with VPX/VPinMAME, making it it scalable, high resolution, and editable... also allowing you to create your own DMD themes/skin if you are up to it...

I am not an expert on this stuff, but information is hard to find. So, I decided to make a video showing what I have learned. Hopefully this helps some others out there that may be too scared to try, or are having issues setting up Freezy's DMDext 1.9.0.

FYI - I am using a single landscape monitor with the DMD on the same monitor (desktop view). So, if you have a portrait monitor, mimicking a real table layout and backglass/DMD on a second monitor, this video may not be the best tutorial for you. Though, it will at least familiarize you with the settings.

And if you are brave enough to start trying to colorize Freezy's DMD, see this forum thread (it is easy, so go for it!) - also shown how-to in video above:

Hopefully this helps some of you other new people that may be struggling understanding how all these pieces fit together.
As for how to get Visual Pinball X (VPX) installed and working; well, that is another long story... for you to find out on your own =P
