Thanks!

Thanks for responding, but i'm confused.  Inside the zipped file is .pal and .vni files... do I rename something?

Which game

I've downloaded the first one, attack from mars

There is a lot of information out there about doing this and it's almost evolving every day

 
I believe the d.diff files are only used for Stern pinball games

For other games - attack from mars 

Installation instructions

PIN2DMD or Virtual DMD owners:

• Create a vpinmame/altcolor/<rom name> directory and copy the pin2dmd.pal and pin2dmd.vni files there.
• Enable ‘Colorize DMD (4 colors)’ in the rom setup of vpinmame for each colorized ROM you will be using
• Enable ‘Use external DMD (dll)’ in the rom setup of vpinmame for each colorized ROM you will be using

Additional steps for Virtual DMD owners :

• Download latest dmdext version (current 1.6.0) via https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/releases
  • Copy ‘DmdDevice.dll’ and ‘DmdDevice.ini’ to your vpinmame directory.
  • NOTE:  If you are a Virtual DMD owner you should not install dmdext… just move the two files described here.
