[PC][1996-2003] Space-themed 3D puzzle game with pong, breakout and pinball mechanics with a top-down view
During a gamejam, I attempted to recreate this game from memory in 2D (with different level design). Playing it might give you a clearer idea of the mechanics I'm referring to.

Create 3D effects using only 2D sprites with Sprite Stacking
Also, if you want to apply this pseudo-3D effect to a TileMap, it's possible with a script: https://github.com/Calinou/escape-space/blob/5d112d9843013257aed7bc1fb1e6b274831d4be1/levels/level.gd

Reading DMD data
The simplest solution is probably just to implement an output driver for dmdext by implementing this interface. Otherwise, you could also implement your own DmdDevice.dll using this interface, which will then be picked up by VPM and Pinball FX (not the other pinball sims, though).

Setting up colored DMDs
Fixed! Got it to work. I had to download the Freezy DMD from here: https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/releases

LCD DMD showing pixelated when should be high res
Have you checked your DMD settings? It may have been an accidental resolution or style change? https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/blob/master/LibDmd/Output/Virtual/Dmd/README.md

How do I resolve this? I beat my head against the wall for an hour last night.
Install the latest Freezy v1.90 using the installer (https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/releases). Install both x86 and x64. (https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions).

How to suppress DMD for older machines that have scoring on the B2S
Freezy also has great analog render options, so you can combine those on the backglass as well.

Starting the plan to build
I think it is possible to use a real DMD for Pinball FX (I recall reading something in the Freezy DMD documentation. Though this route may not be future-proof. A new version FX is underway and new Pinballs have more elaborate DMD options so a 3rd display gives you more flexibility. Or consider a game like Pool Shark where I have score analogue on the backglass and the DMD monitor shows the illuminated frame of the shark that is currently active. In all- a 3rd display gives more flexibiliy.
