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

[naeromagus]

@lucky1, yes I am on the latest release of vpinmame 3.6 603. And testing thru setup.exe. I start a game and then stop it will cause it to force close. I have tried pin2dmd= native, and also true both cause this issue.

 

What log can I provide. I even backup my dmddevice.ini and tried the one in the zip only changing on the pin2dmd enable portion.

 

Upon stopping the rom I noticed the virtual dmd does not close until the whole thing force close . I know @outherehas a pin2dmd maybe you can try lucky1 dll. And let me know the outcome.

Hi, I'm very happy to finally have color for the game that we can't speak of.  I've transferred the necessary files from the x86 package to the VPinSPA folder and that did the trick with the pac file that I use.

 

I do have one issue though when I try to exit the game .. It just hangs for 30 seconds before closing. I never had that problem before, and I've traced it to the dmddevice.dll file. Has anyone encountered the same issue, or even better has a fix for that ? 

 

I've tested it with VPinSPA only and get the same result .. hangs for 30 seconds then it closes.

 

I did the same test with Vpimame after putting the necessary files in that folder and got the same result  .. hangs for 30 seconds before closing , so the issue is not due to VpinSPA either.

I had a similar problem that developed after updating some of my virtual pinball software components.  Not the table you are referring to, but the majority of my tables with DMD.  Updating the dmddevice.ini file with the latest version solved that problem for me.  Replace the file, and update to include the pertinent data from your current file.

I just tested with the latest release 3.6 573 from github in x64 and x86 and my dmddevice.dll from the link in the first post. No issue with stopping a ROM.

Maybe you could also verify if that works.

Thanks for the info, but sadly I had already tested it with the included dmddevice.ini file that was in the x86 package.  I am on version 3.5 though and saw that Lucky1 tested it with version 3.6 573 and it works for him .. I'll give it a shot and will report back.

I updated Vpinmame to version 3.6 573 and now the playfield and backglass do close on exit , but the DMD still hangs for 30 seconds.

 

I also tried VpinSPA and noticed no difference than with 3.5 .. the whole table hangs for 30 seconds on exit.

I did notice another issue for the game that uses VpinSPA., if I use it with the pup pack , then the pup pack never closes after exiting the game and a reboot is necessary.

I have the same issue with some tables (attack from mars for examples) -> no log, it just fail to load. i think its a registry issue; some have some not (i didnt upgrade anything in VpinSPA and Gb works in 32 and 64 bits)

Make sure use all of Luky1's files not just the dll's and delete the old color files that might still be in the folder that he don't use anymore.

I have tested all color files on 32bit, 64bit, 10.7, 10.8 with no issues.. no hang ups or crashes.  pac, crz, vin, pal, etc...

Now this is on a LCD screen so if it's just real dmd related i'm not sure.

Everything is working, Thanks outhere. And lucky1 for the continued support of pin2dmd. I love my Real dmd nothing compares for me at least.

I am also suffering from a 30s hang on exit.  The log shows that the request to close has started, then about n 35 seconds later the four renderers are stopped.

The problem is caused by DmdDevice64.dll.  If I swap it for the one from Freezy, everything closes instantly as expected.  The hang happens whether I launch in VPX, or use the vPinMame Test function.  This is with vPinMame 3.6

Thanks, I'll give it another shot to re-confirm, but I'm pretty sure that's what I already did. I'm also using this with an LCD.

Hi lucky or someone 

 

For some reason my terminator 2 looks like this and a few is glitching out. 

 

I have freezy latest and .dll files from lucky1 just like way of the wrench video says to do. 

 

Can some one help?

You need both dmddevice.dll and pin2color.dll from the links in the first post to make it work.

Don´t mix with latest or any other freezy . It is buggy.

Hello,

Has Mario bros been fixed? I have this flickering also scared stiff lost Credit insert  screen just black only starts up when you start the game. Otherwise everything else works great thanks for all your work.

Thank you for this. Any reason from switching from freezy some pup events aren't showing on terminator 2 pup? 

 

Pup capture is bad?

So, from a clean vpinmame  (version 3.6 573) I added the files from the x86 package from the first post. I redid the tests and there is no difference .. it still hangs for 30 seconds before closing when trying from VPX or from VpinMAME. When i use it from Pinup Popper, it closes within 3 seconds because I modified the close script for less time before closing, but there is a sound glitch before it gets closed. That's the best that I could get with that setup. 

The good part is that all color files work (vni, pal, pac, crz, etc..), but they were already working before I tried with the clean vpinmame 3.6.573.

Is skipanalytics = true ?

Does it work if you run vpinmame setup.exe as administrator ?

SOLVED-Added this  ( ; if set, don't send anonymous usage statistics
skipanalytics = true)    to my dmdevice ini . not sure if that was it but Also  swapped out dmdext32  for dmdext64 in pinmame folder, tables close instantly, Mario bros and scared stiff working fine also.👌
