CCC-PROC and pinDMD

[Shannon]

Does anybody remember or can direct me on how to get CCC to work with Freezy’s ext? I have the table and PROC working, but would like it to display on my pinDMD and remove it off the playfield. There used to be an instructional guide on Vpinball😪

[Thalamus]

I'm not so sure that the guide included how to make it go away from the playfield ? All I remember seeing what how to mirror it using dmdext/freezy and that is more or less just following the instructions on his github page. I might be wrong though.

 

I have some notes laying around the subject :

 

For real dmd :

in user_settings.yml

 Color Display Pixel Size: 4, Color Display X Offset: 25, Color Display Y Offset: 25,

Then my command line for dmdext is:

 dmdext mirror --source screen -p 25 25 512 128 --no-virtual

Popper version:

  if"[CUSTOM2]"=="CCC" (start /min "" c:/dmdext/dmdext mirror --source screen --position 1 1 512 128 --no-virtual -d pindmdv3 -p COM3

Don't know if you have pin2dmd or pindmd. If pin2dmd there is native support but you may have to download an alternate branch of the game code.

 

 

 

If it is pindmd then, yeah, I think it is a freezy/dmdext solution. I'm not sure about being able to mirror the DMD but not have the virtual display on a screen. Mask it behind a bezel? I don't know for sure as I don't have a real DMD installed.

I have a pindmd and freezy/dmdext, but it doesn't seem to be working?

Does there need to be a dmdext in the PROC folder?

I gave up trying to get this working on my real Pin2Dmd screen. 
wish there was a straight forward process.

The directions outhere references worked for me as well, but with one small change - I had to use an updated libusb-1.0.dll to get the PIN2DMD to work.  See the post below:
