Wim1965 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Hi everyone, i am new in the world of pinball machines and to no surprise i own a junkyard pinball machine with some malfunctions. The display is one of them and i will be replacing in with a pin2dmd version. So i am very interested in the progress you are making. Hell of a job it must be. Question: from the readme from the files on your google drive I understand that you are develloping for junkyard version 1.2. Mine is still on version 1.1 according to the eprom sticker. What are the side effects of a lower version?

Content Provider dtatane Posted October 4, 2022 Author Content Provider Posted October 4, 2022 Hi @Wim1965 Quite hard to know without trying. If we refer to Lucky1 link, it seems the changes are very little between 1.1 and 1.2. As long as the changes are not related with the display but only with rules (like scoring, difficulties, timing...), there should be no issue. But you will have to try. If I happen to find a 1.1 rom file, I may have a quick look at it.
Content Provider dragon44 Posted October 4, 2022 Content Provider Posted October 4, 2022 thanks for all the hours invested mate
Wim1965 Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Got my new display operating and it works fine with eprom 1.1. Since its a very old version of the colorization not perfect but better than nothing. So now I am in the market for an updated version.
Content Provider dtatane Posted October 7, 2022 Author Content Provider Posted October 7, 2022 Here it is.. long awaited official v1.0 release !!! Check the download section : You can also have a look on what it looks like here (soryy, you don't have end game, I'll try to redo a video with more content) :
Content Provider Terranigma Posted October 7, 2022 Content Provider Posted October 7, 2022 Congrats on another release. Great job!
Content Provider dtatane Posted October 7, 2022 Author Content Provider Posted October 7, 2022 Thanks @Terranigma I still have a few things I really want to improve on this one and then I'll think about another project.. It may be a stern machine !
AdmiralGeneral Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Or finish the Champ Pub files next Great Job so far.. time to test it in a real machine? Where can i find the real pin files? Cheers Adam
Content Provider dtatane Posted October 8, 2022 Author Content Provider Posted October 8, 2022 Hi @AdmiralGeneral Yes, you're right, might be the right time to have a look at the Champion Pub project. I've made significant progress in editing with Junk Yard, it might be worth using it finalizing 100% champion pub ! 😄
gubbin Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 This game has some incredibly complex scenes. Nice job! The colors really pop!
Content Provider dtatane Posted October 16, 2022 Author Content Provider Posted October 16, 2022 Hi ! Version 1.1 is out correcting a lot of bugs and bringing multiplayer support + additional screens that were mising. I also improved a lot transitions, even though there is still room for improvements. I will now work on version 1.2 that will include : - run from spike wolored - attract tutorial colored - transitions on score scrolling from 1 to 4 players - improved transitions on various screens Before that, enjoy the current update, here a preview :
Content Provider Terranigma Posted October 16, 2022 Content Provider Posted October 16, 2022 Awesome work as always Dtatane!

Content Provider TastyWasps Posted October 23, 2022 Content Provider Posted October 23, 2022 Hi dtatane, The alt color you are doing is excellent looking. The colors pop very well! I'm still working on the Junkyard re-master with new physics, dynamic ball shadows and a few other goodies to make the gameplay better. Any chance you can include a .pal and .vni in the altcolor download? The .pac format is very fickle and I couldn't even make it work on my cab with all the latest updates to VPinMame, Freezy, PIN2DMD, etc. so I would imagine other less tech savvy cab users are going to have a heck of a time making things work if they download just a .pac file. I'm not sure if it is more work for you to create the .pal and .vni but I'm just hoping it's a simple compile option in your color editor and it can easily be included as an option for this Junkyard masterpiece. Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into this project. It is appreciated. -TastyWasps

Just replace your freezy installation with the files from the zip in the first post . Other non tech savvy cab users have made it work, so I´m sure you can do it too.
Content Provider TastyWasps Posted October 24, 2022 Content Provider Posted October 24, 2022 My bad, it was just a matter of locating the right files and copying into VPINMAME. I actually did not see the attached files in this image below. Those were the files needed as I think I was just updating freezy (original) DLL's over and over. Thanks.
Wim1965 Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 I noticed that there is a firmware update for the pin2dmd hardware. Doesn't look very exciting but you never know what might happen after updating..... By the way I bought myself a virtual pinball machine, takes a while before it will be delivered. All very nice these real pinball machine but they need to much maintenance.

I didn't try it yet, but it is recommended updating, it usually improves performance, and if ever you run into an issue, you can easily revert to old firmware! I use a self-built virtual pinball machine and it is really fun !
Content Provider dtatane Posted November 3, 2022 Author Content Provider Posted November 3, 2022 Just a quick message to those wondering when will be the next update : I've been recording a loooooooot of dumps to complete Dog-run sequence. I'm now at 233 frames over the estimated 518 needed for a full colored sequence... ! No idea how long it will take to record all possible frames ! Quick preview of current frames recorded (don't mind the colors it is just adjusted yet on each frame) Keep in mind that a non recorded frmae will end up in visible colors flashing.. this is why I'm looking to record as much as possible !

Ik zit nu op 233 frames meer dan de geschatte 518 die nodig zijn voor een volledig gekleurde reeks...! Geen idee hoe lang het duurt om alle mogelijke frames op te nemen! Snel voorbeeld van de huidige opgenomen frames (let niet op de kleuren, het is zojuist op elk frame aangepast) Houd er rekening mee dat een niet-opgenomen beeld zal eindigen in knipperende zichtbare kleuren.. daarom probeer ik zoveel mogelijk op te nemen! I'm waiting anxiously😜
AdmiralGeneral Posted November 19, 2022 Posted November 19, 2022 Keep going my friend i still believe in you
