utilisez plutôt les fichiers d'ici :

 

- utiliser les fichiers x86 pour l'instant

- ne remplacez PAS votre dmddevice.ini

 

 

 

ALL works perfectly. THANK YOU

Do you talk about aliases Captain?

No, just pal/vni had to be a certain name, and without folders its impossible to identify what it is,

Pac you could name it the table name and it would play regardless of the filename of he .pac file just to clarify what i was referring to

[zedrummer]

OK I didn't know, but yes the cRZ file must be the name of the rom (or the alias) as the directory.

There are a lot of reasons why 😅

Have you updated you DMDext lately?  It has native crz support.

.pac isn't currently supported - you have to do some stuff to make it work.

Thanks for your time, for now i cant use all formats in one, i need one vpinmame for crz, and pal.vni, and another folder for pac, maybe in w10 works better, i have w7 64b. If they dont support pac files, killed hard work of many people with pac format, some games have only pac option for color, i think is better all support in one.

Thank you, this looks amazing! I originally installed the 64 bit version and it didn’t work. However, I ran Windows task manager, clicked the “details” tab, right clicked on the column headers and clicked “select columns”, checked “Platform” and saw that I was actually running the 32 bit version of VPX. Make sure to check the version you’re running, this looks amazing when you get it working. Thanks for the thorough tutorial!

You can copy both platform files to VPinMame as the names differ: "serum64.dll"/"serum.dll", "dmddevice64.dll"/"dmddevice.dll"...

I use the files from the first post the 32 bit and 64 bit work good On my Real  Pin2DMD and the LCD DMD.
I would say something on your setup is not quite right

Notre Monsieur tuto (entre autres) sur Pincabpassion   

C'était super clair et ça a fonctionné direct, merci.

Ca surprend la colorisation la première fois !

 

J' ai voulu tester avec une de mes tables préférées : Champion Pub, et ça passe super bien.

Ca reste étrange pour un vieil oeil habitué à l'orange, mais j'ai bien envie de m'habituer !

 

Thanks ZeDrummer !

[zedrummer]

Merci @Badaud

Has anyone managed to get the .crz file working with Pinball FX3

 

Champion Pub and Creature from the Black Lagoon (from the Discord site - WIP) work fine with VPX, but cannot get to work using FX3 - the other colour roms work fine in FX3, i.e. .pac files

Just an update - managed to get it working by renaming the .crz file to match the FX3 altcolour folder, i.e. BALLY_CREATURE_FROM_THE_BLACK_LAGOON

 

In case anyone else had the same problem - did not have to do this with the other colour files for FX3

Thanks, I add it to the initial post

Maybe silly Question about Serum 2.0
First, everything works with the newest dmdext update 2.2.2. Serum, pac and pal-vni - works.
I found the serum 2.0 zip . The dll seems newer and  is different from the dll I have so I tried to copy the serum 2.0 content right into my vpinmame.
If I do so, vpx crashes when starting a "serum-table". Tried with 64bit.
Its not a problem, I went back.
can someone give me some infos about what I miss? thankyou!

Serum v2 is fully ready but the Freezy DLL is not ready/compatible with it. That's why the latest release in the Github is not the v2 but the 1.6.2 even if you can download it. The v2 DLL is only available for the authors who are working with ColorizingDMD v3.
