New version: dmd-extensions with pin2dmd coloring plugin and pac file support !

[barryodog]

I have gone through 13 pages of this topic and i still have not figured out how to upgrade {install} this update

I have a 4 screen cab with lcd slim dmd, all tables 245, work great, just looking to get the dmd fsq working for STNG table to work!

Any help on installing this update would help.

I have downloaded both 

dmdext-v1.10.2-x64

dmdext-v1.10.2-x86

neither of those will work. Only lucky1's combo will work. From the first page of this thread;

Unblock, unzip all EXCEPT dmddevice.ini to your vpinmame folder and let it overwrite all.

Thanks worked like a charm😍

Updated with the latest code changes from Zedrummer which fixes the Serum scaling issue.

Also fixed the issue with dmddevice.ini beeing overwritten.

File attached in the first post of this thread

[Cliffy]

some examples showing Tron and Scared Stiff with doubler and scale2x. Tested with fsq, vni/pal, .pac and serum. no crashes and scaling works. Thanks @lucky1 and @zedrummer again!

[BurtMacklin]

Confirmed also that the alias bug issue is fixed with the serum.dll.  NOTE  If you make an alias for a table you need to rename the cRZ colorization file to the same name as your alias folder.  Unlike other colorization formats you do have to rename the cRZ file if you are using a rom alias folder as that is expected per @zedrummer to keep multi-platform compatibility with the new colorization format.

 

 

To explain further

 for example:

your alias is ss_15pup,ss_15

your altcolor folder would be ss_15pup

the altcolor file should be named  ss_15pup.cRZ

 

That is ONLY FOR THE new .cRZ format colorization files.

Ah ok that’s not a cRZ file.  

[slydog43]

I hope more colorizations are on the way, the 2 now are both awesome.

No it is not its a fsq,

I put the pal and fsq in same folder and it worked.

excellent info burtmacklin thanks!

[MrGrynch]

@lucky1 and @zedrummer Thank you both so much for all the work getting this all put together, and fixing the scaling issue!

[LoadedWeapon]

Amazing job! Everything seems to work great now Thank you!

[RobbyKingPin]

I want to thank you and Zedrummer for the combined effort to get a new plugin in place that works in perfect harmony with the pal/vni, pac and serum files. As extra insurance I will keep a copy of the dmddevice.ini since I got a real long list of setups in it, but soo far no problems with any of the games I tested and no overwritten files either

[criptonite]

Do i have to rename the file

[marccy1138]

Go back to the very first post he updated the files at the bottom.
