The project has entered the final stage and I think I will be able to release it very soon. The incredibe WOB aka Beau Dwyer was so kind to record a video that shows the current state and gave me the permission to share it here for those who would like to get some insight. I still have to optimize some scenes as you will see, but it runs very stable to date. Thanks for all your patience, I want to finish that one without the need of updating it again 1f642.png ...

Dump files used: 34
Triggers set: 1310
Palettes used: 99

Known issues:
 
- no support for freeplay dot
- some of you might have issues in attract mode scores depending on your initials. If you want me to fix that, please send a pm with a screenshot and an attract mode dump file
 
I share the vpin files for free, but for those who would like to say thank you by sending flowers for my wife or a small toy for my daughter, I provide my donation link as always:

Hi, I downloaded the file this morning, to try it out in my real machine. I uploaded the two files to the root of my SD card and renamed them to pin2dmd.pal and .vni. Unfortunately I only get a light blue colored display. Are the files supposed to work on a real machine?

P.S. I am using a 2016 PinballSP display in this machine (from the time Luis still made PIN2DMD hardware).

The files are only for V-Pin as stated above. For real pin you need pin2dmd.pal and pin2dmd.fsq export files which only NetzZwerg can generate.

@NetzZwerg, could you generate the files needed to make the colorization work in my real pin?

Contact him through PM and say thank you by sending flowers for his wife or a small toy for his daughter,

It is done, I think both his wife and daughter will be happy, as am I! It was required to update the DMD to firmware 3.05, but now it works perfectly.

@lucky1 the animations now seem a bit more jiggering/stuttering than before, is that due to the size of the pal/fsq files? Or is it a firmware bug?

Don´t know. I don´t have a TOM. I would say neither firmware nor filesize related. My guess would be that it depends on the timing in the recordings used to colorize replacement scenes. I found a glitch in pinmame not too long ago and corrected it together with toxie. I achieved the best dump results with my Mac under OSX. Timing on windows machines is not very constant.

I am still using the old fw 2.58 in my device and also have the feeling that the 3.0x seems to run different according to some videos I saw... Don't know for sure and since I do not own any real pin I have nothing to compare.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this :-). One question. When you say no support of freeplay dot. You mean the Credit dot that warns of an error on the machine. That is critical if using on a real machine otherwise you will be unaware of a problem with the machine. Are you able to fix that for use on a real pinball?
