This is due to license limitiations of freezy dmddevice.dll not allowing to distribute pin2color.dll together with freezy dmddevice.dll on my repo. Use only the files from the first post which contain a compile of freezy 1.10.2 compatible with my pin2color.dll. Any other combination is not supported so far. Dmddevice.dll from freezy github is NOT YET compatible with my pin2color.dll as the changes needed did not make it into his build so far. This may change in the future. Also check wether you have vpinmame.dll and/or vpinmame64.dll and copy either or both 32bit and 64bit version of pin2color/dmddevice from the zip file in the first post.

TeteDampoule Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 My bad, everything works perfectly fine for me when using when using files included in PIN2DMD firmware V4.39. I simply had to modify [pinup] enable = true in DmdExt.ini instead of DmdDevice.ini to activate pup pack. i still dont understand why the files provided in first page are not working with my pin2dmd setup. Anyway thanks for your work and for supporting us ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kds70 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Hey @lucky1 first of all: thank you very much for your effort 🤩 One problem with your last version / download @ the 1st page: pac files and vni files are monochrome orange with pin2dmd (firmware v4.41) using pin2dmd enabled = true. Virtual DMDs instead are working perfect with pac and vni color files. With the previous download it worked with pin2dmd as it should. Did i miss something?

htamas Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I got my installation to work as well. In my case, the problem was caused by my existing dmddevice.ini file. Once I copied the one from the archive, both .pac and .vni started to work OK with the dmddevice.dll from the archive in the first post. I had to change some settings related to the positioning of the DMD though. Not sure what exactly did I have in my previous .ini file causing the problem, which was working perfectly with Freezy's DLL and .vni files. The strange thing was that with the old .ini and the new DLL, no colorization worked regardless of being .pac or .vni. Since the instructions say "If you previously used freezy DmdDevice.dll and want to keep your settings just keep your DmdDevice.ini.", that's what I did because I wanted to keep changes to the minimum. Looks like this is not always working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htamas Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I just wanted to add: Thanks @lucky1 for your work, it's much appreciated. So nice to have both colorization methods working well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make it work if I set LCD DMD in the table script to false, but the "official Freezy dmd files" work fine with that option on and table loads and plays fine, but of course .pac files no longer work in that scenario.

Same Problem as BladeRunner In the table script please change from 512x128 to 256x64 There is no real DMD with a resolution of 512x128 If LCDScreen = True Then FlexDMD.Width = 256 FlexDMD.Height = 64 End If Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted October 12, 2022 update of zip in the first post - fix issue with flexdmd using non realistic dmd resolutions set flexdmd width/height to 128x32,192x64 or 256x64 in table script to make real pin2dmd work in native mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoJo215 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks for the fix. Hellraiser looks great now. Hope this eventually makes it to Freezy's git at some point. I actually prefer it and .pac files could be named according to mame romsets. No more two files with the same name for every table.. or wasting two downloads for one file.

COY Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 This version is also working for me, I was searching for about a week ! (.vni and .pal was working, not .pac) MANY THANKS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGrynch Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'm sorry, I'm not understanding how to make this work. I was happy with the .vni and .pal files, but everything I see now is .pac and I just can't get them to work. Does this replace Freezy or work with it? If I have Freezy installed and using x86 VPinMAME, which files from the first post am I supposed to use? I hear talk of dmddevice.ini and also dmdext.ini. Do I need to copy my dmddevice.ini to this other file dmdext.ini? Do I need the dmddevice.dll that comes with the package from the first post, or do I keep the Freezy?
