About This File
I created a small program I('m not a programmer !) , that will create "Real DMD Color Videos" an/or "Topper" from your wheel image(s).
I was inspired what @Thalamus posted on Vpinball forum.
He posted Real DMD color Video's that first shows the wheel image for some seconds, than the year published and finally the company logo.
This all makes a video of around 7 seconds. If you enable high score showing in PinballX, it is a nice show when scrolling through your front end.
Until version 3.0 all was created in VBscript.
Started from version 3.0 it is transferred to VB.net .
Also created a settings program, that you need to run first (and setup)
In the attached ZIP there is also a folder with PNG,s of year. You can change these to your off color/font
For Real DMD users, it will create a video of 128x32 pixels
For DMD users, it will create a video of 1280x320 pixels with an dotted overlay (thanks @scutters for this)
Please used the following thread for any issues (this is my 2nd VB.net, so think I missed some things)
