Now, once you’ve downloaded and copied the images to Steam, you load Pinball FX3, head to the cabinet settings, and input the following coordinates for the backglass and DMD.Īs a final step, you probably want to turn off the DMD in the gameplay table settings or else you’ll have duplicate DMDs (on the playfield and backglass).***************** PUP-PACKS ON TOP ***************** If you use different images or a separate DMD, you’ll have to tweak the settings on your own. Since these images have a spot for the DMD, my settings are also for a DMD located within these back glass images. These images are mostly wonderful, so I’m pretty happy with them. You could use other images, but the settings below might not work if so. The images I’m using are ones I obtained here: (Your Steam installation directory]\steamapps\common\Pinball FX3\data\steam) You have to download them and place them in the appropriate Steam folder. Now, Zen does not have backglass images included among its files. If you alter your setup, then what I’m sharing below won’t work. I couldn’t figure out a workaround, but keeping Windows in landscape and rotating the playfield instead in Zen’s cabinet mode settings works well, so this is how I left it. Although this is adjustable in Windows and you could set it up as if your primary display were in portrait mode and your secondary display above it (you know, like an actual pinball), for whatever reason this results in Zen Pinball rendering at a lower internal resolution even when set at 1080p. IMPORTANT: for these settings I left my play field in Landscape mode and have the secondary display as if it were to the right of my main display. If you did all this and have turned on your Zbox PC and have the dual HDMI set up, you should have your primary display as the play field and the backglass as a secondary extended display, which you can verify in the Windows PC display settings. These steps assume you’ve set up your VIBS and have installed PinballFX3 through Steam, and that you activated cabinet mode through Zen. Since I know many others have an identical setup with their ALP, I figured I’d share my steps and settings so any other new VIBS owners could get up and running quickly. Thus, I stumbled through several videos and webpages until I finally got it all working on my setup through trial and error. So after searching online for straightforward, easy to follow instructions on setting up VIBS backglass images on Pinball FX3 for those who purchased one of the Zotac mini PCs a couple of months ago, I couldn’t find one.
