Super Mario Bros (Gottlieb 1992) - Serum Format

Will this work with the pup pack?

Just added the file and gave it a spin. Everything is running flawlessly so far. Are there still any known color glitches to look out for?

Thank you so much for putting the work into this!

With over 600+ tables in my library, it is easy for a few gems to slip through the cracks over time. Because I strictly play in VR, I have noticed my skill is significantly better within an immersive space. I booted up the Super Mario Bros. table and completely forgot how fun it is.

I actually played my absolute best game ever on it! I was paying so much attention to the new DMD colorization (which is the whole point, right?) that by the time I looked at my score, I was already past 30 million. I locked in, kept an eye on the DMD, and finished with a high score that landed me the #2 spot on the leaderboard!

If you hadn't released this colorization, I probably wouldn't have booted up the table tonight. In fact I know I would not have.

Thanks again for giving this classic a whole new life and me a #2 spot!

Cheers!

Absolutely stunning, so crisp especially in HD. Not a single glitch found so far and smooth as silk. Pup pack triggers perfectly too!

Thanks so much @ebor your hard work is GREATLY appreciated!

Just like so many other's advice to "just update your files"..... Moving to new DMDDevice.dll's totally stuffed my working system.... Thank God I have backups... BEWARE OF JUST UPDATING.....

Merci beaucoup !!!

Not only that the original is colorized but you also added complete new graphics in it : great job, thanks! 👍

Looks wonderful!.      Love the graphics behind the text values.    Thanks so much for the long hours it must have took to put this masterpiece together.

Thank you for your hard work and artistry!  I'm looking forward to seeing this in action!!

Wow really nice. What an improvement you must have many hours into this. Thank you ebor. 

WTF - I did not expect to see this coming at all. preview images look very clean - looking forward to that this installed. Thanks a lot.

upgraded to 2.5.0 and not getting the color experience.  Any other steps I might be missing?

After installing 2.5.0 did you also do this: 

"You must delete the serum.dll and serum64.dll files that may be present in the VPinMAME directory"

Bonjour à tous et avant tout un énorme merci pour tout ce travail ! Etant sur un Pin2DMD les couleurs fonctionnent mais les séquences ne se déclenchent pas comme il faut. Elles se figent. Il me semble avoir déjà rencontré ce problème que j'avais corrigé en changeant la rom. Si quelqu'un a une idée je suis preneur svp. Merci d'avance, bon week-end !

Hi @ebor,

For me if i replace my DmdDevice.dll my vpx crash.

If i put my old DmdDevice.dll my vpx works but no serum.

My version is DmdExt 2.5 in administrator execution and all other files all the latest and all files serum.dll are erase.

I don't find the trouble.

But congretulation for your work.

I hope i am going to find my trouble.

Those don't exist.  Deleted already.

I am having the exact same issue but tried other things.    My observations:  Installed lastest freezy 2.5 release both 86 and 64.   If I remove Serum64.dll and Serum.dll vpx table crashes as well as testing the rom in Setup64 crashes.    If I use this serum smb3.crom crashes the Setup64 rom test but old .PAC file works fine.    Not sure what else to try.    

Awesome Awesome,  Thanks 10x @ebor💯👊

Thanks for your work but I have 4 colors only.

DMDext 2.5 serum.dlls deleted, other tables works.

Any idea?

Works now, I forget a dll. Thanks looks very nice.

For those of you seeing what appears to be frames not triggering or DMD stuttering/locking up, try updating to vPinMAME beta v3.7.0-222 (or more recent).

Kraken.    Thanks for chiming in.   Installed beta per above. Ran Setup.   Verified that version is installed.    No difference.    .PAC files, and non-serum work.    Serum files abort vpx and Setup rom test without serum.dll or Serum64.dll.    I tried different combos all afternoon but 2.5.0 will not run serum roms on my system without serum.dll's.     I know it is suppose to run without them as they are now included in 2.5 but they won't on my sys.    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.   Could there be a conflict with Backglass handoff?

Update:   Upgraded Blackglass Server to 2.16.    No change.   So I don't think it is related to B2S server services.

So if you put the newest version of libserum (serum64.dll) from this link into your vpinmame folder the serum colors work? Freezy 2.5 should have it embedded... 

I have it 'sort of ' working and looks great but the score doesn't appear/update until you hit a special target or trigger something else.   Also, sometimes it just stays on the that screen and doesn't return to the score.

Edit:
Just saw Kraken's comment below so will try that 😀

Just reporting back to confirm that the 3.7 Beta fixed it for me.  

Thanks @KRAKEN 👏
