skmastaz Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 So I've got everything updated and functioning, but after adding the color files for WWF Royal Rumble, I'm not getting full color, just default palette. As of right now the sd card contains in its root: pin2dmd.fsq, pin2dmd.pal, pin2dmd.key, and pin2dmd.dat. Did I forget to add something or check a setting or something?

Hi I followed your advice and bought a chip HD74LS123P when I install it I change the place jumper and when I start it does not detect my micro SD card and it changes the color of the display when I remove it and put it back as before it works Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 18, 2019 You also need to let the software know that it is installed by setting the enhancer in the onscreen menu to on !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dede214 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thank you I test today I just put the chip, I do not change the jumper, and i put enhancer ON I install the chip, change the jumper and restart, with the world enhancer in ON it does not detect my SD card and the display has more standard colors I do not understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdcheckpoint Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hi All I am pretty new to all of this so I would be grateful for any help. I have a pin2dmd evo board based on Lucky's posted designs and in conjunction have purchased a 128x16 controller board for a Data East system from german gaming supplies (since i have a Checkpoint pin that i want to get working with pin2dmd). I have tried to follow all of the instructions as posted on the pin2dmd site and everything seems to have worked fine but I seem to be getting stuck at the boot screen when connected to the pin. I have tried all of the obvious things like changing connectors/checking ribbon connections etc. Can anyone suggest any troubleshooting that I can try? Since the screen powers on and I can change palettes/brightness and everything else on the on-screen menus as well as via the micro-usb and laptop I am assuming the issue might be with the 128x16 controller board? Any ideas how I could confirm this? I would appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaldocc Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 First off thanks to everybody who helped me get this far and all the hard work for the community. Here is my issue. I have a Pin2DMD EVO board loaded with firmware 3.05 and activated. Pics are on this post. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive/90587 For the first time my Pin2Dmd shows signs of life. However, using the colorization files from CB3, the hulkster on my DE Royal Rumble looks like he has a rash or took to many chair shots to the head as you can see in the image below. The ribbon cable's red line is on 1 on the DMD driver board and my regular DMD works fine. I've also cycled though all the RGB options as well and on each one the skin tones are just not there. Hopefully this is an easy fix and any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted March 8, 2020 Are you sure you have the files for Real Pinball installed ? Those for VPIN are different from the real pinball files. You need to PM CB3 to get the real pinball files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldocc Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Works great now. I needed to change the files names CB3 hooked me up with to pin2dmd.pal and pin2dmd.fsq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberium Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi, I have some real pins with pin2dmd. Now, We stay at home and it's time for me to continue my Attack form mars colorisation. I'm french and I decided to make my own colorisation. There is a lot of work and I have a big problem since 2.57 to 3.xx and new version of editor. I don't know if the problem is pin2dmd version or editor. Before update, no problem with freeze at all. So hardware is not the problem. Dump is made by me. When a screen appear like "presente" or another screen with score and freeplay. The pin2dmd freeze. If I reset with button, pin2dmd restart normaly since one of these screen appear. I change STM32 with another one but same problem. I change microSD but same problem. I think, there is a bug with my colorisation file. I don't know where I can begin to search. I can send file if need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metwurcht Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 hello i have a question ! setup pinball : kiss ( spike 1) , shield v3.1 , stm362 discovery , colorprism 3.11 editor : 2.5.0.6 at 07/04/2020 my probleme : When i push the left button for go back. the palette does not return by default. What is my mistake? Only the high score should be changed , the other slide are by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 13, 2020 I guess you used a single frame colormask which is only stopped to be applied when the delay time is over or a new keyframe triggers. Try to set a keyframe for every frame before and after with a switch to the default palette and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metwurcht Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 thank for your reply what i can change the delay ? example ; on t2 dump , this frame have delay=16 on the kiss dump : the delay of this frame is 1981 ! i think , it is this delay witch is too long , and i can not change this value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 15, 2020 You only can change the delay in the scene. You did not select the scene but the keyframe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metwurcht Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 ok i understand ! only the "enter" key works. the enter key on the numeric keypad does not validate the value can you check this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzaipinball Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I am trying to update the firmware on my pin2dmd display. I have download the dfu file / program as instructed and the program loads as it should. When I connect the display to my PC it does seem the recognise the display, I can see the display is connected as it shows as pin2dmd in device manager. I have moved the boot dip switch and still no joy. I am not sure how I can get the program to recognise the display, any suggestions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pin2dmd designs never got dip switches, so I suppose it is some kind of custom hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
