Future Pinball doesn't natively support displaying it's DMD on a separate window or on a real DMD for cabinet users.
Until now, the solution to this was to use FP-Intercept (for real DMD only), or to use FutureDMD to display on a virtual DMD. While both solutions did work, there were limitations and quirks with each. For years, Visual Pinball, Pinball FX3/2 and The Pinball Arcade have been using DMDext (freezy) to display their DMD to a real DMD or a virtual DMD.
Now thanks to the work of MrMoose74 and freezy, Future Pinball can now join the fun with DMDExt!
