- i went into devicedmd.ini and changed this  from true to false and seem to work, but the callouts are gone as quick as they come on 

; always scale standard vpm frames to 256x64
; note: see readme.md for details
scaletohd = false

Please download again. The latest version should handle it correctly.

hey lucky1  tried the new  version same issue going on dont know if anyone ells is having the same issue, forgot to mention this is for virtual dmd dont know if that matter just thought id mention it. 

I just grabbed the tmnt movie puppack and it triggers fine for me. I'm in desktop mode and use option 3, separate topped and bg. The topper handles all the callouts and the bg scenes match the game. Are you using nailbusters PuPDesktopPunch.exe and pinupini.bat?

Ok sounds good I have to run out for a few hours ill check back in

I ran dgraces cartoon pup pack and yeah I notice the call outs are on the dmd and they do seem to lag a bit. It feels to me like timings in the puppack itself? Dunno.  I wish it had an option to put the callouts on the topper as the dmd is just too small in desktop mode. This pack has no options by bat file so it has to be manipulated in the editor. Like you I prefer a cartoon version of the pup as it fits the theme of the game. Sorry I'm not more helpful but I can say the movie pup works just dandy.

You're so right. on TMNT the dmd callouts don't trigger at all when scale to HD set to true. I just tried data east Batman and it too doesn't trigger all of the callouts but it does call out a few.  When I set back to false batmans pup is a busy busy bee lemme tell ya. Its gotta be like you say just something about the 128x16 dmds

Working with scale to HD now @lucky1 thanks! Tested tmnt and de batman only this morning but working just fine so far! Will make sure the big dmd's with pups still work later today

Hello, first off, thank you to everyone that has contributed... you guys make this hobby great.

The only issue I have ran into so far with the new file, I just grabbed 8/2 file a moment ago is that my ACDC color pallet is now washed out. 

Any ideas?

thanks again for all the hard work and getting stuff fixed up, the new update seems to have fixed the HD  for the data east tables and everything is working nicely so far.

Just tested and colorization is working fine.

Is Scaling set to on or off ?
