Joppnl Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Hello Lucky, in the normal 2.45 version: Tested it with Avatar which does have a color .pal file but no colored ROM. With the 7th start-up of this table the DMD remained blank, no display at all. Unchecked the color option in the F1 pinmame menu, reset the pin2dmd, without color now but...the 11th time same problem, no display at all. So, unchecking the color option soes not seem to have any influence. What I do notice however is that when I double click on the pin2dmd icon to run pin2dmd.exe it takes far more longer time then before before the program comes up, it will take about 15..20 seconds now where before it was directly there. Do not know what to do with the .bin file you sent so did not check that version. Thank you for your support!

Joppnl Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 This evening played Jurassic Park, also a .pal coloured display but also a freeze. Needed a reset with the tool and then it worked. Was running 2.46 It looks to me that if you start with a reset when a table gets loaded it would be solved but don't know if that is a good solution though.
Content Provider lucky1 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted October 31, 2017 I don´t have access to my cab this week. Do you use the latest dmddevice.dll or the one that came with 2.41 ? Could you make a USBPcap recording ?
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted November 1, 2017 I now can reproduce the problem ! I´m on it !
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted November 1, 2017 should fix it ! dmddevice also updated to fix a minor issue V2.46 on github
Joppnl Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 as a test....25 times Avatar opened / closed and about 5 times after that Jurassic Park...all good! Thank you again for your (quick) support!
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted November 3, 2017 New version 2.47 with fix for load of initial palette from SD for real pin
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted November 5, 2017 I added color correction for a better match of color selected on PC screen and LED panel in V2.48 on github That also brings you a better orange palette and a big improvement of the animations in e.g. StreetFighter 2 colorization.- Also updated the palette for Klingon Battle in the StarTrek colorization because it initially was to dark.

grandDD Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Hello everyone is that leds panel RGB is compatible to make a DMD XL with the V4 uncle sash. ? https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/p2-5-full-colo-led-display-indoor-rgb-led-display-screen-1-32-scan-160-160mm/32813544457.html?spm=a2g0w.search0104.8.23.fxjPCv
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted November 17, 2017 These will work but are larger than the original Sega panels. You need to use P2.0 panels to have the same size. You have to ask the suppliers directly for P2 panels (130x130mm)
grandDD Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 lucky1 thank you for your answer, you can have a link to control RGB LED panel P2.0
grandDD Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 I just found link for leds RGB XL https://fr.aliexpress.com/store/product/HD-LED-Video-Wall-P2-Indoor-Smd-Full-Color-Led-Display-Module-1-32-Scan-128/709678_32824445518.html
Rappelbox Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Make sure you get excellent quality from the supplier!!!These panels are very flaky, sensible and you often lose pixels. Buy only if you don’t mind losing some money. I’m serious. I bought so many of them and to find a reliable supplier over a longer period of time is not easy.
grandDD Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Thank you Rappelbox for your answer and your advice do you sell good quality RGB LED panels at random?
Rappelbox Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Next batch arrive next week.Please mail me directly as I normally don’t sell them separately.
grandDD Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 thank you Rappelbox, to help me improve the display of my Séga pinball machines, when do you want me to contact you by email end of next week ?

Joppnl Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Hi Lucky, as discussed on VPA I'd test the new 2.50 version, this is my result in 1 evening (will do more later): - this week I had the NASCAR dmd freezing. Table plays fine but there was a moment the display just stopped. Did have that before on an other table as well but tonight, after 8 games of NASCAR all were fine so...may-be an accident then? Will do more tests later this week - as I did have problems with the display not starting up at all in a previous version I tried it this time again: started Avatar a 50 times: all are fine so IO guess this issue is solved. - NOT solved, problem was present before and now: in PB X I have 2 kinds of displays : one of them are static pictures (when there is no dmd on the table like EM or early SS) where the manufacturer is being displayed. When starting a table the display should remain visable when the table starts and during gameplay. Well.....sometimes it isn't. When starting such table mostly it's ok but sometimes (say 1 out of 5) the display blanks when selecting and starting that table from PBX. I'm sure the "hide dmd" option on that table is unchecked : checked it in the game manager and (2nd check) same table starting again from PBX will display the manufacturer display. I did run the usb capture program so I hope you are able to have a look at this. When I saw the problem I did exit the table, did exit PBX and closed capturing so the problem should be visable at the (almost) end. Good Luck(y) :-) pin2dmd_port6
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks for testing ! I had a look at the dump and the problem is that pinballx seems to send a black picture at the end. Not sure wether I can fix this without the help of Tom Speirs
Content Provider lucky1 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Content Provider Posted December 2, 2017 New stable version now is 2.51 which fixes a hardly noticeable bug in the output routine.

Available in the download section I finally got a chance to update my firmware and I do like the orange better, but the bottom of the colour spectrum is now really brown, need to play around with some custom colour pallets to get the bottom of the scale look more orange, but it is looking better, thanks!
