[RESOLVED] Zen Pinball FX Colourized DMD help

[ManchesterLad]

Hi - I did not want to start a new thread.  Hope you can help

I am nearly there with colourisation of the roms in FX - so close, yet so far.

For example Fish Tales loads up a blue DMD and Indiana Jones and Creature from the Black Lagoon also similar - DMD all messed up colours but works in some sections - strange.  The roms works in fine in VPX - just here there is a problem

• Testing using Desktop
• Activated cabinet mode
• Selected Dotmatrix Window / External DMD Device*
• Renamed tables in altcolor folder: 108 (Fish Tales) for example.  Renamed as pin2dmd.pac
• Tried using Enviromental Values as in certain FAQ's

Attached pics of Fish Tales - can see title very faint - when ball is locked it shows the scene 100% ok. Indiana Jones is all messed up - but shows the planes ok when you go up the ramps.  Creature from the Black Lagoon starts fine but as soon as game starts, all messed up.

*With the DMD log - unsure if this is correct - I could only get external DMD to show as an option in cabinet mode if I dropped my DMDDevice, DMDDevice.log.config and DMDDevice64.fll in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pinball FX\PinballFX\Binaries\Win64

That does not seem to be in any guide - is that correct?  I am guessing there needs to be something in Pinball FX to link it to where your external DMD is saved?

 

Hope someone can help

Split this from topic in Guides due to level of assistance and topic.

Make sure you're set up as noted here - https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions?tab=readme-ov-file#pinball-fx

And then check if this is the same issue as noted here - https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/issues/485, if it is then keep an eye on that for updates / fix. Sorry, not something that can be fixed in PinballX if the issue lies with dmddevice & Pinball FX

Defo same issue....one bit annoyed wasted so much time trying to fix it lol

But at least on the other hand I know it's not me!

Done some more digging, saw on a Facebook post that there is a Zen update at the end of August which should hopefully fix this

Closing this thread as issue is with Zen and solution from them is pending.
