MikeDASpike Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Hi @lucky1 I'm using your hybrid solution on my cabinet with a PinDMDv3 and it is working like a charm, but ... (there's always a but ) I also use DMDdevice.dll from freezy to record the output to AVI format. I use these to use your Pin2DMD editor again and cut the frames, so I can make DMD videos in my front end, but also to create animation for my GOdmd clock. I noticed that when I record the videos, the colors are just the default 4 colors, and hoped it was now the 64 colors, but even the 16 colors are swapped to 4 colors Attached are 2 small video's files created with the latest version of your dmdextension. is this something you can fix as well ? maybe I'm the only one who uses this feature, but hope it is an easy one for you to fix These are the entries in the dmddevice.ini : [video] ; if enabled, writes frames to an .avi file enabled = True ; path to folder or .avi file. if folder, gamename.avi is used. path = C:\pinball\PinballX\GeforceCapture\DMD rctycn.avi smb3.avi Edited August 18, 2022 by MikeDASpike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far from finished and needed old version of your Pin2DMD editor as the new versions (last 1 1/2 year) screw up the colors when exporting it.

The pin2dmd editor has advanced to keep up with the changes in the pin2dmd firmware, while the go-dmd firmware from Steve is not further developed and still uses the old editor version. 8 hours ago, MikeDASpike said: What will be the best place to post the complete foo.ani file ?

cboscari Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hi lucky! OK, I am stumped. As I currently understand it, if I use your pin2dmd.dll file with Freezy's dll, my pindmd3 device should be able to use pac files. Although I can get color with vni and pal, when I try to use pac, I get the default colorized pinmame 4 color palette instead. I have freezy's latest dmddevice.dll and your pin2dmd.dll in the vpinmame folder. I am not sure what step I am missing. Am I just misunderstanding the current state of things? Are pac files pin2dmd exclusive? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naeromagus Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hello, while using your latest dmddevice dll with my pin2dmd. I usually for the sega 192x 64 output the dmd to a virtual dmd on my bg with custom coordinates for within the dmddevice.ini. but I have been unable to get this to work i outputs the dmd to the pin2dmd which we all know does not work well on a 128x32. . So I have to revert to using just plain freezys dll. But in doing so I lose support for the newest color pac files . (Roadshow,shadow) I am on the newest fw 4.40. Thanks Lucky1.

If you have set pin2dmd enable to true and NOT to native you should not have any problem with that configuration. I assume that if you say dmddevice.dll you mean the dmddevice.dll / pin2color.dll combination from the first post and not the dmddevice.dll from my repo which is for pin2dmd only and not for virtual dmd.

legolas24 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) I've been testing and almost everything works fine. I have pin2dmdHD as native but there are 3 tables where pin2dmdHD doesn't work, it distorts the image and leaves pin2dmdHD blocked. After putting these tables there is no other choice but to restart the pin2dmdHD because the computer stops even recognizing it. I don't know if this is known and someone has provided a solution, thanks in advance. The concrete tables are Star Wars Bounty 3.01, Blade runner 3.0 and Remdwaas pokemon pinball, all with flexdmd Edited September 6, 2022 by legolas24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m not sure I understand that sentence. Which hardware do you have ? pin2dmd (128x32) or pin2dmd HD (256x64)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider lucky1 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted September 6, 2022 Does flexdmd support this resolution ? For RGB24 the source has to assure that the resolution is correct. However freezy does support scaling of RGB24 content, but you have to switch to enabled = true instead of native for that. Maybe installing a dmddevice.dll in the same directory like flexdmd with enabled = true solves your problem. That way it is not using the installation and parameters from pinmame.
