Although the colorization isn't complete, it works fine with the English rom. You just need to patch the ROM with the diff file and then rename the wptcolor.dat file to pin2dmd.pal and place it in the altcolor folder.

You can use the color/rom patch tool found on this site. The diff file name doesn't matter. If you don't already have the English rom, grab it from the Stern website. Extract the bin file from the zip and then use the patching tool (or bsdiff from a command prompt if you prefer). The bin file after patching should be called" wpt_1400a.bin" and then zip that file up into "wpt_140a.zip". Put the "wpt_140a.zip" file in your vpinmame/rom folder and the pin2dmd.pal file in the vpinmame/altcolor/wpt_140a folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydog43 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 why do some colored roms require a patch and others just use the .vni & .pal files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except this extra special case (WPT) where people appear to have augmented the PinballBrowser colorization with Pin2DMD-editor keyframe detection to switch palettes. From what I saw in the Pin2DMD editor it was only keyframes palette switches, but it means you could have patch+pal+vni all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and we might need that in the future to get around the "out of memory problem" of pinballbrowser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hawkeyez88 Posted March 20, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2019 For some reason I can't get this one to work with the instructions provided above. All of the other roms I've patched to color so far have been good. This one throws a rom error when loading the table. It matches the wpt_140a.zip and I renamed the .dat file and placed it in the altcolor folder. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/26/2018 at 5:55 PM, dstott said: I patched it to the English ROM and it worked fine. I was skeptical but had to try it. I can confirm that I was able to patch the English rom wpt1400a.bin with the diff providid above for the French version using bspatch. The machine still seems to run well after I flashed this patched rom. On 6/28/2018 at 3:34 AM, DJRobX said: The current version of the pin2dmd editor can load the project but it complains about palette conflicts. This happens on a lot of "upgrades". You can fix this by copying the palette entries back into the XML file after the project is converted. I imported sharkky's project into PIN2DMD Editor 2.5.0.6. This "destroyed" the color palettes as mentioned in this thread. But after saving the project you can manually copy the color sections from the original XML file to the new one just like DJRobX explained. When reopening it, the palettes are correct. Now I was able to export a .pal file for a real pinball machine! The first game looked way better compared to a monochrome DMD! Thanks to everyone's work here! But I still ask myself if I'm missing something? You talk about a .vni file that is needed in addition for a virtual pin. But PIN2DMD Editor 2.5.0.6 doesn't offer my a possibility to export such a file based on sharkky's project. And therefore I could also not generate a .fsq for a real machine. So I'm a bit confused. Does the original colorization provided by @sharkky only require a .pal file? @lucky1 Do you know more about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappelbox Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 You only need the pal file because the coloring is done inside the patch/diff files and Pin2dmd uses only the pal to switch to the appropriate palette when triggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk47 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks for your answers. So I leave it as it is. BTW I tried 32assasin's version, too. But he didn't publish the project files and therefore you can't generate the real pinball files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of the situation is that there are some scenes that PinballBrowser can't colorize correctly on its own, so you need both techniques for the most complete result. The challenge with PinballBrowser is getting it to issue palette changes when you need them, particularly in serial port mode without mangling frames. The challenge with Pin2DMD editor is dealing with dynamic scenes, but detecting a frame and switching palettes is no sweat there. So both tools complement each other quite nicely. You might reach out to 32A and see if he'll provide a fsq set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
