Big Bang Bar (Capcom 1996)
By davadruix
**** Ladies and gentlemens !! ****
The day has arrived! more than 600 hours of work over a year to present you a colorized version of the Big Bang Bar!
Mosh a gogo ; Bar Tour; Cosmic Dartz; all in COLOR !
So, there is still work to be done, this ROM will never be 100% colorized (at least not by me lol) There are far too many technical constraints today.
On the other hand, I hope that you will enjoy this version, which I will update from time to time. Currently, there is the Lunapalooza rainbow which will not display correctly and random appearances of the waitress and her friend to the right or left of the DMD.
I think that doesn't stop you from playing, I would do my best to fill in little by little to minimize "orange" appearances or freezes.
I could have waited a few more months, but in the end there would always have been points that posed a problem. With BBB colorization, when you resolve one problem, there are two others that are triggered (...)
So I chose to share it with you now!
I would like to warmly thank the entire SERUM team for their support throughout this year working on BBB. I assure you that they showed patience and calm in the face of the thousands of questions that I was able to ask them at several stages of the coloring!
A big thank you in particular to:
@Zedrummer, obviously, for its fantastic colorization software!
@Kraken, for his patience and his explanations on everything! and in particular on the use of the software!
@Pastor, same, thank you for getting me out of unresolved technical problems more than once...
@ebor, for his support and explanations!
@Primetime5k, @Boroka, @Kraken, @ebor, @Pastor, for testing
There you go, I'll let you discover BBB in a new light, the day of color!
Good game everyone!

Mesdames et messieurs,
le jour est arrivé ! plus de 600 heures de travail sur un an pour vous présenter une version colorisée du Big Bang Bar !
Mosh à gogo; Tour de bar; Cosmic Dartz; tout en couleur !
Alors, il reste tout de même à faire, cette ROM ne sera jamais colorisée à 100% (en tout cas pas par moi lol) Il y a beaucoup trop de contraintes techniques au jour d'aujourd'hui.
J'espère par contre que vous apprécierez cette version, que je mettrai à jour de temps à autre. Actuellement, il y a l'arc en ciel du Lunapalooza qui ne s'affichera pas correctement et des apparitions aléatoires de la serveuse et de son copain à droite ou a gauche du DMD. Je pense que ça n'empêche pas de jouer, je ferais au mieux pour combler petit à petit afin de minimiser les apparitions "orange" ou les freeze.
J'aurais pu encore attendre quelques mois, mais au bout du compte il y aurait toujours eu des points qui posent problème. Avec la colorisation de BBB, lorsque vous résolvez un problème, il y en a deux autres qui se déclenchent (...)
J'ai donc fait le choix de vous la partager dès maintenant !
Je tiens à remercier vivement toute la team SERUM pour leur soutiens tout au long de cette année à travailler sur BBB. Je vous assure qu'ils ont fait preuve de patience et de calme face aux milliers de questions que j'ai pu leur poser à plusieurs étapes de la colorisation !
Un grand merci en particulier à :
@Zedrummer, évidement, pour son logiciel de colorisation formidable !
@Kraken, pour sa patience et ses explications sur tout ! et en particulier sur l'utilisation du logiciel !
@Pastor , idem, merci de m'avoir sorti plus d'une fois des problèmes techniques sans solution...
@ebor , pour son soutient et ses explications !
@Primetime5k, @Boroka, @Kraken, @ebor, @Pastor, pour les tests
Voila, je vous laisse découvrir BBB sous un nouveau jour, le jour de la couleur !
Bon jeu à tous !

Batman Dark Knight (Stern 2008) Serum Colorization
By Enthusiast
Please note: This Serum colorization was developed and tested on both virtual and real tables to ensure accurate color depth and optimal performance. However, for real tables, this applies exclusively to ZeDMD <-> PPUC/DMD displays. Use with any other hardware solution is strongly discouraged. Videos and user reports have shown reduced frame rates and poor color output specifically on PIN2DMD on real pinball machines. Please be aware that these issues are not caused by Serum itself, but by the hardware/software limitations of PIN2DMD.
“WHY…. SO…. SERIOUS….?!?!?”
With great pleasure I offer to the community this serum colorization of Batman Dark Knight (Stern 2008). IMHO the late Heath Ledger was/is the best portrayal of the Joker on the big screen.
Uses the bdk_294 rom
I made some effort to use colors from the movies and the table
Special thanks to the serum authors, @freezy , and ppuc/dmd <--> Zedmd / libserum project contributors for helping me test and providing priceless feedback. You are amazing.
Highlights:
- Imported HD movie clips from Batman Begins and Batman Dark Knight
- Scale2x upscaled regular frames for static content
For HD resolution frames, put this entry in your dmddevice.ini file:
[bdk_294]
scalermode=doubler
System Requirements:
- This serum colorization is being released with the new and highly optimized cROMc format, the successor to cRZ, with up to a 90% reduction in memory footprint
- You MUST use the newest 2.4.0 dmdext release HERE by freezy
Now go be a “freak… like me!” and play some Dark Knight in color!

Bad Cats (Williams 1989) - DMD 64 colors - Serum V2 Format
By ebor
Hi,
I propose this colorization of the excellent Bad Cats table 😚
Colorization works with the bcats_tcm rom, which you can find here .
Extraordinary work by IdealJoker, who has made a mod of the rom and added many new features, to be discovered from here.
You'll discover all the options and features added to the original rom. For the purists out there, the settings for identical operation to the original rom are shown. A little reading 🙂
Important steps :
The bcats_tcm.cRZ file must be placed in the vPinMame\altcolor\bcats_tcm directory. In the table script, replace the value of the variable cGameName (bcats_l5) with bcats_tcm. You must be up to date with vPinMame for the rom to be recognized. Download it here. Otherwise, there's a really messy method. Rename the rom bcats_tcm.zip to bcats_l5.zip (keeping the name bcats_l5 for the cGameName) and check 'Ignore ROM CRC errors' in vPinMame (F1 during gameplay).
Thanks to :
@zedrummer for his support and the improvements made to the colorization tool 🙏 @Zedixair for for his tests and advices 😉 @CarnyPriest for his help in making this fabulous home rom available. My two accomplices @dtatane & @KRAKEN for sharing this Serum adventure with me 👍 And all the community on Discord (https://discord.gg/eRAQDKSbYM)
I recommend this fabulous version of the table by the VPW team :
I also recommend @hauntfreaks's magnificent B2s :
If you'd like to see some of the rules for playing this table, I suggest this rather well-done page : https://www.jeff-z.com/pinball/badcats/rules/rules.html
As usual, I welcome any comments or suggestions you may have to help me improve the colorizing.
Enjoy !

Bugs Bunny Birthday Ball (Bally 1991) - DMD 64 colors - Serum V2 format
By ebor
Hi,
I'm pleased to offer you this second colorization of alphanumeric rom 😚
The colorization works with the bbnny_l2 rom in English.
The bbnny_l2.cRZ file must be placed in the vPinMame\altcolor\bbnny_l2 directory.
Thanks to
@zedrummer for his support and the improvements made to the colorization tool 🙏 @hauntfreaks for giving me permission to use the image of his B2S 👍 DarthVito & passion4pins on the discord for their advice 😉 My two accomplices @dtatane & @KRAKEN for sharing this Serum adventure with me 👍
I can only recommend the alt B2S offered by @hauntfreaks . Thanks to him
I recommend this version of the table : https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/14364-bugs-bunnys-birthday-ball-bally-1991/. Very good job from @wrd1972 and @bodydump 🤩
As usual, I welcome any comments or suggestions you may have to help me improve the colorizing.
This table isn't very complicated, but it becomes a lot of fun when played by more than one player. The end-of-game bonuses can be amazing: exchange of scores between 2 players, donation of a million to another player, reduction of the score, etc. 😁
The famous 50 million seems to be accessible only in multi-player mode and on the third ball.
I'm aware that this rom won't necessarily be suitable for B2Ss on which the 2 parts of the DMD are next to each other horizontally. Some colorized frames have a character in the centre of the frame. It will therefore be cut out in these cases.
Let's start from the principle that I'm freely proposing the entire project on the Serum Discord (https://discord.gg/Cn9mAkSu) and that I authorise all people of goodwill to make modifications in this sense.
Have fun 👍

Back to the Future Pinball - Serum colorization
By Enthusiast
I'm happy to present you all with my first serum colorization for one of the greatest movie franchises of all time and my all time favorite - Back to the Future
The goal was to make the colorization simple, readable (Thanks @ebor!), and fun ! It was fun to make!
Pair this colorization with your favorite pup pack and/or altsound -
Very special thanks for the serum authors and @zedrummer for guiding me through from start to finish - you know who you are and I'm so grateful!
This was primarily tested on the bttf_a27 rom but seems to work with bttf_a28 as well ( just rename it as needed)
This serum also has high res frames for those that can take advantage of them
Enjoy!
IMPORTANT: you need DMDExt version 2.3.0 to make use of this rom! Download can be found here
Also, delete ALL of your serum.dll files in your vpinmame folder! DMDExt now has Serum integrated from the get go.
IMPORTANT 2: Unsure how to install the newer version? Please follow this guide by the creator of Serum:

Breakshot Serum Colorization
By KRAKEN
Bodacious!
I'm pleased to share my colorization of Capcom's Breakshot in Serum (.CRZ) format. I hope you will enjoy.
In the zip file, you will find two versions:
- The Purist Edition is faithful to the original ROM, where black backgrounds remain black for higher contrast.
- The Gradient Edition that has extra color gradients added in the background.
Thanks to the awesome people sharing the adventure on the Serum Discord and to the beta testers for your precious feedback.
ROM: BSV103 (English)
Kraken 😘
