Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted January 28, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted January 28, 2017 Latest SAMBuild for the version 2.9 cycle can be found in this post. The package includes the latest external DMD dlls if there has been a recent update. Or else find the external DMD dlls with the beta thread for the official VPinMAME build here: http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063&page=1 OR at lucky1's GitHub repository for Pin2DMD here: https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/integration/pinmame Copy the files into your VPM directory, and run setup.exe again. There, press the install button (with each new build) and remember to setup the defaults again! In case you have an external DMD connected that you want to use with VPM, please move the dlls from the respective subdirectory (Pin2DMD or PinDMD1 or PinDMD2 or PinDMD3) directly into your VPM directory! The 2.9 cycle is complete. SamBuild 2.9 is available here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Pindmd3 user - if I use the dvddevice.dll provided the tables crash on exit for me. A very useful feature is to be able to use the Camera to adjust view, not possible with this release. Rolling back to a release dated 9.1.2017 seems to solve it for me at least.

DJRobX Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The specific JIT crash this fixes has to do with color ROMs that have the serial side channel enabled. In some cases the patch produces "self modifying code", so additional logic had to be added to recompile modified code. Spider man color was one that would definitely not run. Jus for clarity, this is NOT a fix for the "intermittent" crash that some of you are running into with unpatched roms when used with Freezy's DMDDevice.dll.

shadowshd Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Carny, Thanks for this release Just a question : SAM.vbs isn't packaged with SAMbuild anymore ? ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted February 1, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 1, 2017 There's no change in sam.vbs. Just use what's in 2.8b. But I'll include it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalamus Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I have no problem with either of them - well, for you my friend https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zgupysmdhyockw/SAMBuild_r4196.zip?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thanks, Thalamus... that actually failed too so it's gotta be my antivirus or something. Gonna disable it and try again. *edit* Yeah, it was my antivirus. Oddly, this is the first time I can ever remember it's "web" protection rejecting a file. Obviously, a false alert. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WED21 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I can't get any of this to work with my PinDMD3. Crashes at table start up. Is there a version anywhere that supports the modulated flashers and PinDMD3? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Working for me - and yes on DMD3. Well, you have to do some tricks ...

Vpinball thread explains some http://vpinball.com/forums/topic/lesser-known-features-of-vpinmame-dmd/page/2/#post-48482 So I tried all of that and still crashes at start up. I think where I may have messed up is, when you say " Replace xdmd.dll and xdmdnative.dll in c:\pinballx and c:\visual_pinball\xdmd " what am I replacing those with? I just had them turned "OFF".

WED21 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Holy crap never mind!!! I got it. As I mentioned above, once I replaced the XDMD files with the new ones it worked. Thank you so much Thalamus!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WED21 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Ok last question/issue on this. Now my dmd doesn't do attract mode or play the ROM preview when I'm in selection mode in PnballX. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Same solution as above. You have to remember - this is beta software. Things do break :-) Did you put lucky1 dmddevice.dll into pinballx ? Did you make sure that pindmd.dll is renamed to eg. pindmd.dll-off ? Did you replace xdmd.dll and xdmdnative.dll to xdmd.dll-off and xdmdnative..dll-off and copy new ones from lucky1 into pinballx folder ? When I say lucky1, to clarify, once you install 2.8o2 - you get folders inside vpinmame - dmdext, pindmd1, pindmd2, pindmd3.. When I say freezy - I'm thinking github - where he prefer to do his releases. https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions If you decide to test something from the git repo. and it isn't working as expected - please try to post a issue on github about it containing a log. Freezy have said again and again that he is no magician that can read minds. So, he needs those log files in order to get any further with the issues. It should not be a problem to use eg. dmddevice.dll from freezy in pinballx folder - it still is. If you use his' in either pinballx or dmdx folder - the DMD will stay black. Please note - this info is for PinDMD3 only - I have no clue what users of any other DMD needs to do, but, it might be a reference/clue for you to experiment with IF you you're installations isn't working as expected. Maybe you could put a screenshot of you pinballx folder if you still got any problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuma2000 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I followed your tips to get it working with PinDMD3 but still have some problems (error: No DMD driver and Table starts, but you can't play it). I did not replace any XDMD files, because I didn't find them in any of the zip packages. Can this cause the problems? If yes, where can I find the XDMD replacement files?

Thalamus Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We probably should not hi-jack this thread. But, lucky1 updated the first post in this thread with the lastest.

Akuma2000 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Even with the latest update I still get the "no dmd driver found" error. But I got it finally fixed by installing this update for Windows 7: KB2533623 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
