About This File

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. Please be aware that these issues are not caused by Serum itself, but by the hardware/software limitations of PIN2DMD.

 

Sir what you had there was what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm, or a class-five full-roaming vapor. Real nasty one too. 

 

This is a big update based on @Flabs Ghostbusters that was uploaded quite a while ago now.

Since I'm fully committed to making Serum for real pins a reality together with @mk47 — and with him having a Ghostbusters pin in real life — it was a no-brainer to build on the work Flarben had already done. That said, when @mk47 first tried the Serum v1 file by Flarben on his machine, we quickly noticed there was still a lot of work to be done. So I decided to dive in and go through everything from top to bottom. I made sure to respect the original color choices, so you won’t see too much change there. But there are lots of improvements in terms of legibility, missing frames, and overall polish. Quick stat: ~150 hours of work has been added on top of the original work. 

Funnily enough, with the vpin version only having access to the 1.15 ROM, you actually miss out on a lot of the newer stuff that's included in update 1.17. So for people with real pins, this will definitely come as a big surprise. But... of course, the vpin crew hasn't been forgotten.

 

Enjoy and expect a few minor updates to come, this ROM is absolutely huge. I won't be surprised if new stuff pops up. 
And before I forget, thanks a lot to @Flab for willing to share the project files and letting me upload it to VPU!


~ Pastor 

 

EDIT :

 

Place the colorization file wherever your vpinspa is located, for me that is: C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\VPinSPA\altcolor\spagb_100 <-- folder

This will depend on setups!

added please note

What's New in Version 1.06   See changelog

Released

  • Prepared the rom for real pinball usage. 
  • Swapped to .cROMc format

 

IMPORTANT: Serum has officially swapped over to .cROMc files instead of regular .cRZ!

Installing DMDext version 2.4.0 is required to run these .cROMc files. When experiencing issues it is recommended to get the new VPinMAME beta as well.

This once again means that any serum dll file need to be removed from the VPinMame folder to ensure compatibility.

Five starts for @Flarben and @PastorLUL for that great colorization. I think, the project is almost complete yet. Some minor things might still be missing or could be improved. But the current state is very impressive.

Here's a video for you, taken at a real machine so that you can see some frames which aren't part of the SPA version. On the upper left, you see a ZeDMD. Kepp in mind that filming LEDs with a cheap camera is hard. The DMD looks much better in reality!

On the lower left you see a new experimental upscaler I created. The DMD data is streamed from my pinball machine in real time via wifi and rendered on the computer where I recorded the video. There, I included a screen capture in the video. That's why the colors and sharpness look much better.

Due to the fact that WiFi streaming is involved, the DMDs are not always in sync and the electronics inside the machine have a bit more stress compared to only powering the ZeDMD. And for fast animations like the scrolling Stern logo, the Wifi stream is not fast enough.

But it is good enough to be shown 😉

Absolutely love the work that was put into this. Ghostbusters is really a table that stands out in my cabinet as looking like a real table. The colorization done for this just really makes this stand out even more. Thank you so much for the work you put into this and for sharing!

First of All thanks to @Flab for the original colorization.

 

@PastorLUL Thank you for your additional work on this colorization, I must say what I have seen so far on my Vpin looks awesome, Everything is sharp and easy to read and the colors are beautiful with awesome artwork spread throughout as you play the table. Not sure if this a Serum v2 or not but could not get hd to work with "scaler=doubler" for more dots etc, but it still looks fantastic and thank you once again for all your hard work in bringing these to the community.

Who brought the dog?  This was a nice surprise to download this tonight. I received my ZeDMD  HD shield today from Jan's Pinball mods and wasted no time hooking it up ,once you go ZeDMD you will be hooked. This colorization looks awesome and brings the cab to a new level. I have several of your colorizations and they are all incredible. Thank you for all your work , time and skill in sharing this for the virtual pin community for my cab would not look half as good as it does without your help . THANK  YOU...

Another gem ! 

Spectacular 🤩

I had a chance to give this a spin and I'm blown away! This completely transforms the experience to the point that I can't stop looking at the beautiful color dmd while my balls drain one after one :P Between this and the recent Sopranos serum release, I think we were all gifted the best yet! @PastorLUL, thank you for your hard work! Every hour you put in shows ❤️

Thanks for this  another Serum beauty !
