Ginsonic Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Sorry for a probably stupid question, but, if I have enabled VirtualDMD and in the table (e.g. an EM table) the pindmd window is set to hidden (.hidden=1), the virtual DMD nevertheless appears on my DMD screen. Is this intentional or did I configure something wrong? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest version is available in the dmddevice.zip here https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/integration/pinmame No need for the pin2color.dll with that dmddevice.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giotta Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'm still having trouble displaying the correct colors in my real dmd. Why do I see the colors correctly in the virtual one, while in the real one they are wrong? The sequence of colors when I turn on the dmd, is the same as the photo on your site (Lucky1). What can it be this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian1976 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hello i found the solution for pinup popper For vpx you have to put the lucky dll's in vpinball/vpinmame folder for Pinup popper you have to put your working old dll in pinupsystem/pinupplayervpinmame folder and launch the "PUPDMDcontrol_regiter.bat Everything work pretty well now thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legin Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Hi all, I've been away for a while and have just found out about lucky1's new DMD extension. I am still running freezys extension and the old .pal / .vni files Question is if I use lucky1's version can I use the old .pal / .vni files and the new pac files or do I have to choose one or the other?

DanLShane Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The old colorization files still work as long as you are running Freezy's latest version. Just replace the 3 DLLs with Lucky1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adol Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hello, First of all, thank you for your hard work. I've a monochrome color issue with this DLL. When I use an older DLL (one that doesn't support PAC) I've a nice orange color for rom that a not colorized. But with this one, I have a color that is way darker, more like an orange-red color. It was the same with Freezy DLL (it was the reason I kept your "original" DLL). It makes reading really hard. Colorized rom render is great through. Is there a parameter that I can try in the INI file for changing default rom color ? I didn't find anything. Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protomech Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I could use some help since I've tried on and off over the last few months and still can't get the pac versions to work. I've downloaded and replaced the latest files in the Jan 23 release and with them installed, none of my DMDs show up, not even the non-colorized ones. If I revert back to the original dmddevice.dll file, the DMDs work fine, even the pal/vni but I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong to keep the pacs from working or why that dmddevice.dll kills the dmd on all my tables. FWIW, I'm on a 3-screen cabinet running, vpx 10.7.3, PInmame32 3.5, and b2s server 1.3.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPinMAME is updated to 3.5 and got Freezy up and running. Colored roms with PAL and FSQ are working fine, but PAC will not run - it just keep showing the old brown DMD. I have tried adding the recommended files that makes PAC files work, but nothing changes. Is there some kind of setup that I should tinker with, or an old registry that need changes? Just a quick note: a couple of days ago I started getting the colored roms to work, and without really knowing what I did, I got both PAL/FSQ and PAC to work, but only on two tables. After that new PAC files would not work. I then put an old working VPinMAME-folder back in, to start over, and here we are. Could something interfere from that old run? Every kind of help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 28, 2023 If you google "orange RGB" you get 255,165,0 as value and that looks ok for me. Also if I compare the picture of the pinmame display window to the pin2dmd it looks o.k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
