clemon79 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Wacky issue here: On Virtual DMD, everything (all three color formats) works fine. On a ZeDMD, Serum works but VNI/PAL does not. (PAC of course does not work, but that's expected.) Wat do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joselito Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hi. dmd-extensions_with_pin2color_and_serum_plugin-4.zip work ? When I download the file dmd-extensions_with_pin2color_and_serum_plugin.zip, I can't unzip it, because it will only download a 1 byte file.

IRONUTRR Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Yep I'm having the same problem. Could someone send me the file or reupload it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 8, 2023 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 8, 2023 It seems that after 1276 downloads it somehow got broken. I reuploaded it in the first post. Should be working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Arcade Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Does the WindowPunch feature work with Lucky DLL's ? I ask because I updated my b2s server from 2.0 to 2.02 and the DMD WindowPunch feature stopped working. Does the WindowPunch feature only work with Freezy's DMD or is this completely unrelated? thanks! Edited April 10, 2023 by Mr_Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have two choices, I either get to have VNI/PAL and SERUM work on my ZeDMD and backglass, and then PAC is broken, because of how you forked things and strongarmed people, or I can have PAC work with your fork on my backglass screen with everything else, and forget about ZeDMD working correctly. Lemme tell you, if I'm being forced to pick a horse, that isn't a hard choice. 5 hours ago, Mr_Arcade said: Does the WindowPunch feature work with Lucky DLL's ?

emuoyaji Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) I have installed 32bit and 64bit. I displayed alphanumeric characters with extended DMD. On 64-bit it displays fine, but on 32-bit it crashes after startup, doesn't display at the size I set, and numbers don't have colors. The tables I tried are Phantom Of The Opera (poto_a32) and King Kong (kiko_a10). Phantom Of The Opera is automatically written with the name (poto) after there is a problem. It also crashes just by having alphanumeric = true in a clean DmdDevice.ini. DMD is displayed without any problem, and it also has color in pac files etc. Is there something wrong with my installation?

I turn alphas on and off per game in my dmddevice.ini. Here is my POTO section [poto] alphanumeric enabled = true virtualdmd enabled = false alphanumeric pos.0.left = 0 alphanumeric pos.0.top = 0 alphanumeric pos.0.height = 94 alphanumeric pos.1.left = 1313 alphanumeric pos.1.top = 0 alphanumeric pos.1.height = 93 And here's Time Machine with a style; [tmac_a24] alphanumeric enabled = true virtualdmd enabled = false alphanumeric pos.0.left = 0 alphanumeric pos.0.top = 0 alphanumeric pos.0.height = 94 alphanumeric pos.1.left = 283 alphanumeric pos.1.top = 0 alphanumeric pos.1.height = 94 alphanumeric pos.2.left = 0 alphanumeric pos.2.top = 94 alphanumeric pos.2.height = 94 alphanumeric pos.3.left = 283 alphanumeric pos.3.top = 94 alphanumeric pos.3.height = 94 alphanumeric style = blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I checked, the name of the script was also [poto]. But pinmame doesn't seem to have a romset named [poto] and I don't have a romset named [poto]. I think it used to work fine with [poto_a32]. i am confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it used to work fine with [poto_a32]. i am confused. In the bigus 1.5 table the cgamename is poto_a32 but yes its strange that pinmame calls up poto_a32 (hit F1 to see this) yet its the poto in dmddevice.ini that is used. There is no alias in vpmalias.txt so it must be internal to pinmame. To test this I created a poto_a32 section in my dmddevice.ini with identical layout as poto but gave it a style at the bottom; alphanumeric style = blue Ran the game and the style wasn't applied. I added the line to the poto section and indeed the displays showed blue per the style. So despite pinmame showing via F1 "poto_a32" it's in fact calling "poto" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbddpp Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) edit: resolved. Needed to copy ALL the DLL files over. Hey thanks so much for your work on this. Getting PAC to work on my FullDMD LCD is the main reason I found it but overall I just think it's time we be less afraid of new things including 64bit. So I renamed my old DLL files and copied the 2 new ones over to VPINMAME, didn't touch anything else. Now I see no DMD at all. What did I mess up? I assume both the config and INI files you should skip in the "install over Freezy" process so you don't lose settings, but obviously I a missing a step here in the process of replacing Freezy. Help a moron out>? Edited April 17, 2023 by bbddpp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure ! The new version adds FX3 and Pinball Arcade colorization, which both do not use dmddevice.dll. They both use dmdext.exe . I will add pac support to it soon.

marccy1138 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Hi Lucky, I have your files running in 64bit realm and all formats are working. Just want to mak sure I understand the new one. You will make a new set of files that will allow for the use of colorization for FX3 and will allow our .pac to still work were Freezy doesn't correct? I want to wait for yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
