Welcome to the PinCab.Configurator wiki!

Getting Started

Once you have downloaded the program extra to a location on your hard drive such as C:\PincabConfigurator.

Once you have launched the program, set the paths to all the various pinball programs you have installed by going to File>>Settings.

See Settings for more information.

The minimum settings you should have setup are the following:

1. B2S Screenres.txt
2. Atleast one configuration from the Front End Tab
3. The databases should all be pointing to the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xantari/Ipdb.Database url's.

Landing Screen

1. Clicking on a display in the displays list will draw a prieview with the defined regions you have defined.
2. You should first define a playfield region and then define your backglass and DMD regions.
3. Pick unique colors for each region.
4. Be sure to give the "Display Label" a meaningful label. For instance if your backglass contains both the DMD and backglass call it "Backglass & DMD" for 2 screen setups.

Backups

All configuration data is automatically backed up for you and placed in the \Backups folder in the installation directory.
