iwantpinball Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I feel like I am missing a step or doing something wrong. I grabbed the latest zip, dropped it in the VPinMAME folder (all but the INI) and the serum CRZ stop working. Restore the older files from March and it works again. Running VPX 10.7.4. Tried both x86 and x64. Even grabbed the official freezy 2.1 and it wasn't not working. Edited May 5, 2023 by iwantpinall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to unzip the dmddevice.dll, dmddevice64.dll, dmdext.exe, pin2color.dll and pin2color64.dll into your vpinmame folder. rename your serum.dll and serum64.dll to serum.dll.hold and same for the 64bit.

I unzipped the new DLL/exe I did not rename the serum files. ---------- EDIT --- Thanks @Cliffy - renaming the serum DLLs did the trick. Not sure when I'll actually see about getting FX3 working with altcolors, but I guess I'm ready. Edited May 5, 2023 by iwantpinall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthusiast Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 is it possible that this most recent release could break pupcapture based pup packs? I can use .pac files for coloring and it works but the pup packs dont work anymore. I remove the .pac and everything works again. of course the tron serum file works fine with its puppack, but the only table I have that is working with both a pup pack and a .pac is hook, and I believe it uses b2s instead of pupcapture so it still works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 do you have an example game? pupcaptures with .pac dmd's work for me. For example AFM works perfectly for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Content Provider Share Posted May 5, 2023 I found another issue with 128x16 tables like hook and tmnt which should be fixed in the latest version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBri Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 hmm.. I just updated with the May 5th files, and now I see the .pal colorization files are not working... The files from March worked well for all types,. What could I be missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will double check the pin2color64.dll. I usually ignore the 64 version as I run x86 version of VPX. I will doublecheck pin2color64.dll I also have to remove/rename the serum.dll correct?

Those are not pal/vni but rather SAM color patched roms with only a palette file in the altcolor folder. And you are correct. They are only showing 4 colors now.

Right, you are correct, its the SAM patched roms showing 4 colors . I just tried Apollo 13 and it worked good (.pal/.vni) .pac and serum are working btw - I extracted the 64 versions of the DLLs just incase as well, and I have renamed serum.dll to serum.dll.old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeDASpike Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Not sure if it is just me, but just testing latest version with the Tron serum colored file, but looks like some frames are used from the rom and not from the colored file. See This is on my PinDMDv3 When capturing this, it is not so flashing, but you see that it is using the org frames and skip some colored frames (didn't had this with previous versions) Edited May 6, 2023 by MikeDASpike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
