slydog43 Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 MikeDASpike, I saw this exact issue myself. It seemed to work with setup.exe but no color when running with VPX. All I did was to redownload and unblock the zips (under properties of zip), copied over x64, then x86 and all was good. Didn't even reboot. Just saying that is what worked for me. Good luck

All I did was to redownload and unblock the zips (under properties of zip), copied over x64, then x86 and all was good. Didn't even reboot. Just saying that is what worked for me. Good luck I redownload the zip, unblocked it, replaced the DMDdevice.dll and pin2color.dll but still the same. I unblocked all files with powershell under my vpinball directory and no luck. EDIT: Found something ! Not sure why this didn't happen with previous DMDDevice.dll's To make a short story long :I'm testing (for a longer period) a plugin in b2sserver. This plugin uses b2sserver to get the lamps, leds etc to change scores for certain old tables. Tables that are compatible with this plugin needs to have "Use external DMD (dll)" unchecked.The plugin will generate the DMD for these tables and uses flexDMD to show. although this installation has shipped DLL's for dmddevice.dll and flexdmd.dll, (and should not do anything with tables like AC-DC, or any other rom that is not supported), the DLL's that where shipped causes issues. Turning off the plugin in B2sServer makes all work again. Turning on, causes the problem. Changing the DMDdevice.dll and DMDdevice64.dll from your zip file and add it to this plugin, makes the plugin works and all the other colored files (VNI/Pall, SAM colored, PAC and Serum) Not sure why all was working with previous version of your DMDdevice.dll, but all is working now. I will email the creator of this plugin (as it is not released yet) Sorry to everyone who spend time on this, but never realized that this could be caused by the plugin (until I played a VR game where I disabled my b2s and color was working) but glad it is discovered and created a workaround Edited May 8, 2023 by MikeDASpike

I guess it is a glitch which needs to be fixed in the colorization, but just to make sure.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted May 8, 2023 Author Content Provider Posted May 8, 2023 I would say that is caused by the ROM emulation and has nothing to do with my colorization plugin. The transition frames you know from WPC are worse on Gottlieb. Especially the first machines like smb.

marccy1138 Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 I have all the files as you do and they have just stopped working. I tried redownloading the files I could get (others helped me get the ones I couldn’t and they simply don’t work). I used the newest lucky files the x64 version. It was doing this before I upgraded to his files and I thought maybe redoing them would fix it. Can I ask a favor. Can you give me your exact alt files and then I at least know I have some other issue (though odd it is only on a few tables. Creature from the black lagoon was the other one). All my other color rom files work. I discovered this when I decided to make a color rom playlist and tested them all.
marccy1138 Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 I have a vpinmame backup from 4/5 which I may try and see what happens.

marccy1138 Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Do you need to load your x86 files into Vpinmame as well?

See this is what I thought but in fact I only get a dmddevice.log in the \vpinmame folder- where the dll's reside- when I run vpinmame's setup.exe and test/save options for a particular rom. Otherwise, as mikedaspaike pointed out, the dmddevice.log that updates with every game actually resides in the \vpinball folder (in my case) next to vpinball.exe.
ktmspark Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Hi , just downloaded the latest files from page 1 and noticed the serum names files are not included , are they not needed anymore ? tia
