BlackPredator72 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I bought a PinDMD 3 Color from Noah but the only colors I've seen are the UltraDMD America's Most Haunted and the default 4 colors from the F1 settings which are ugly. So I searched a lot on the available forums but I only see info or colorized roms for the Pin2DMD. Then I found this DL and thought yes finally : Colorized Rom Pack but I think those are for the Pin2DMD too... Does anyone have a PinDMD3 and have info or links on how to make it work?

Thalamus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Oh yes ... http://vpinball.com/wiki/visual-pinball-knowledge-base/pindmd3-replacing-pindmd-dll-for-dmddevice-dll/ Never tried any pack though - so, that I can't help you with. You should be able to patch your own roms after Dazz made the GUI utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roar Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 That is a great write up @Thalamus What I found interesting in the link provided by @BlackPredator72is the LOTR zip file... I wasn't aware of any efforts to colorize that game but coming in at < 4MB I assume it is just a 4 colour/16 shade effort rather than full colorization as the rest of the files in that link appear to be patched roms. @BlackPredator72 - There are a couple of ROM's in there that won't run on your pinDMD3 at all even if you follow the directions in @Thalamus wiki post. Those being Big Buck Hunter, POTC and Shrek I believe... I've recently started the process of flipping my pinDMD3 to a PIN2DMD as the ongoing support for the PIN2DMD to date has been much greater. If it weren't for the efforts of @freezy we wouldn't be able to play any of the colour roms (Except the UltraDMD games?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 26, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'd say credit to @lucky1 for providing the Pinball Browser patched color support that VirtuaPin never got around to doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted June 26, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 26, 2017 is there a place or a link to find non stern colored roms, or files ready to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 26, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 26, 2017 There's a project here: and TSPP under the download section. I suppose those are ready to use if you have a Pin2DMD with up to date firmware. I may be wrong but I don't think that the projects using the Pin2DMD editor call for modding or patching a rom so much as replacing frames on-the-fly from an external file.

Thalamus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 CRC check from my older lotr_fr.zip confirms that this is just the regular 10.00 French rom. Though, I should add that LOTR is one of those games where I find the altcolor pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one fully coloured, completed non-stern to date that I am aware of... that being the one referenced by @CarnyPriest. All other rom's are Sterns, Any other ROMS aren't full colorization, just swapping the colour palettes (4 colour/16 shades) out for ones that may or may not look better than the standard orange we already have. A collection of those can found here: http://vpuniverse.com/forums/files/category/86-pin2dmd-color-palettes/ @malenko is now working on T2, check the WIP forum for other non-sterns. http://vpuniverse.com/forums/forum/138-pin2dmd-dmd-colorization-works-in-progress/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, you probably want to edit that post. @chucky87 was providing that as a private link at the French site. Basically trying not to step over a line by distributing hacked Stern roms. Now that Dazz has put out a utility to patch roms, we should not even really need a public or a private repository of patched color roms. It's dead easy for users to do it themselves: Also, TWD in that pack is just the pal file from @gech. The CRC of the game code is that same as Stern's. I have not yet heard of any colorization project for TWD. Pack is missing Family Guy which is a really good project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 26, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yes, that and it is a project that uses the Pin2DMD editor so someone could learn from that project as well for colorizing non-Stern games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delt31 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 guys - this thread says PINDMD color roms but these won't actually work on a pindmd v2 right? Just confirming. Funny b/c I was active in this thread way earlier and got it to work with my virtual DMD - now I have a pindmd and I'm not even sure it's truly compatible with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappelbox Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 No, it won’t be compatible since your pindmdv2 is a single color dmd. You can’t just activate new colors on orange leds Please do not mix up PIN2DMD and pindmd v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
