endeemillr Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 While playing Avatar, the usual 4 shades of orange popped up on my ZeDMD. Thinking a blue spectrum would look nicer, I made the appropriate changes with f1, reset VPinMAME... and everything stays orange! I turn the virtual DMDExt on, restart, and the virtual DMD is blue, while the ZeDMD is orange! Same issue arises running Star Trek. 1. I can adjust other non-stern roms' DMD colors normally 2. Color-patched roms work fine as do .vni, .pac and serum colorizations 3. Switching in basic pin2DMD .pal files works for 4 color except do most of them involve a garish green and pink color? 4. The Stern Blue palatte looks great and then mysteriously turns red during play on both the ZeDMD and Virtual! 5. I have updated roms and also deleted nvram for whatever that's worth. ZeDMD is updated to the release from just days ago, and DMDext is the current release version. 6. All cables checked for snugness to the ZeDMD I am not seeing this reported elsewhere, so it may just be my under-powered system. It is not the end of the world, but a strange error. Anybody have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorLUL Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Hi, I can generate a 16 blue color shade serum rom for Avatar if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endeemillr Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 That is so cool! How do you do that? According to pincabpassion the latest firmware update and the upcoming dmdext update will address this problem. They shared a preview dmdext, but it doesn't work for me.

PastorLUL Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) If you are familiar with ColorizingDMD this is very easy to do. I have made one for you. Edited December 24, 2023 by PastorLUL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastorLUL Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Ah, just noticed I uploaded the wrong one. Here is the correct rom: avr_200.cRZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endeemillr Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 I figured that the problem is these Stern ROMS used 16 shades of orange, no problem for a virtual dmd, even when changing hue, but a big issue for the zedmd and it's 64 color palate. I believe the newest update is 8 bit color from 6 bit previously, meaning thousands of colors now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
