Content Provider bent98 Posted June 1, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have a pindmd3 as backup to my pin2dmd. What dll do I use to get full color support for the pindmd3 and latest pinmame 2.9? I tried a freezy dll that worked about the pinmame dmd was always on the screen and I couldn't hide it via b2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please feel free to report this as a issue over at github. Right now, we can't expect it to get fixed. It seems he is busy with some other project, but, I'm sure he will be right on it once he gets his head over water. https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bent98 Posted June 1, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ok so then what dll do we use for pindmd3 that supports the latest pinmame 2.9? even if it doesnt have full color support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 It does have full color - I've written av wiki post of what I've done over at vpinball about it. http://vpinball.com/wiki/visual-pinball-knowledge-base/pindmd3-replacing-pindmd-dll-for-dmddevice-dll/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the dmddevice.dll which is part of the official pinmame source package and has the functionality of the pindmd.dll provided by russdx.

When starting SpidermanVE or MetallicaLE before, AC/DC works like a charm TWD currently is the only one, which does not work with 4277 when started freshly in VPX ! It seems, that they more or less influence each other, maybe actually memory issues ? Mysterious, isn't it ? I've never considered VPM to be stable on anything but the first "fresh" run of a ROM. Once you stop the table, subsequent runs are frequently plagued with weird issues. It has been this way for years. VPX doesn't unload VPM completely when you close a table, and things get into a pretty weird state on subsequent runs unless you close VPX completely. In fact you CAN'T load VPX+VPM in debug builds more than once, you'll get a weird file IO pointer assertion deep in the bowels of Microsoft's runtime libraries (which means we're probably doing something really evil somewhere ) I think the latest tables people are building compound those kinds of issues with memory problems. Just today I was looking at a TWD:LE issue and VP often couldn't quite make it to the initial render on my laptop VM. Then I'd close some other running program and it'd be fine for a few runs. Thankfully it's relatively stable on my cab, but moving to 64 bit might offer some stability in this respect. There will almost certainly be a performance hit, especially with SAM. The JIT core would need to be re-written for x64 to really get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxie Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There is definetly still an issue in the AT91 JIT code, leading to semi-random crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtG Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I noticed issues with the Scared Stiff pre-production roms SS_01 and SS_01B . There are missing lamps from the aux, lamp board. Looks like it only drives 16 tiny LEDs. is there any chance of support? When those lamps are active I get bizarre garbage through the solenoid callbacks 38, 41, and 42 but no lamp numbers.

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 12, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 12, 2017 My cab is still down, so please also test TWD LE and leave a report. Tell us if it is working or not. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 13, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 13, 2017 Corrected a typo in the source code and changed a compiler parameter to get rid of some warnings. If you have downloaded 2.9 today then download it again. No change in version number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 14, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 14, 2017 Pulled the 64bit build. It is not installing correctly. Players should be using the 32bit build anyway. No other changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bent98 Posted June 23, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 23, 2017 I saw there was a new shrek and POTC color rom patch. I tried them but they didnt work with pinmame 2.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 23, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 23, 2017 @bent98,I don't recall your setup. Can you give some more details? How do they not work? Are you using a Pin2DMD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bent98 Posted June 23, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 23, 2017 the new patches dont work. I had to revert to the old ones. Pinmame crashes with new patches roms Pin2dmd 2.40 firmware 2.9. pinmame 32 bit- Win 7 64 bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 23, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 23, 2017 I can't think of anything that has changed with VPM that would impact those games. This may be an issue with the patch or Pin2DMD fw. Can you post a report on a Pin2DMD thread?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRobX Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi Carny, I committed code for Wheel of Fortune a while ago. You may want to make a new build that includes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
