The same panel/setup as Malenko the OP. The only thing else you need is a tiny micro SD card ($6 off amazon) and the firmware from lucky1 which I believe carries a $10 license fee. Tap in power (which is easy to find on a gotlieb) and the ribbon cable from the DMD board, drop SF2 files from Malenko's google share onto the SD card, good to go.
Here's a YT video I found:

Here's an installation guide:

just confirming this still doesn't work with virtual dmd on monitors right?

Great job btw

ugh....need to get my funds in order asap.

I sent Rappelbox a PM 2 days ago.....just waiting to hear back from him before sending my payment.

PM'd you

Rappelbox wrote in the german forum that he was in hospital and needs some time to fully recover. So maybe you need to have a little patience.

Basically this. I PM'd ImNotNorm with this info as I wasn't trying to broadcast Rappel's personal situation.
The terms remain the same though; Payment by the 12th, shipping on the 14th

I'm back on track!!!

Still not with the speed i prefer, but anyways better than staying in hospital.
I think that i can hold my schedule, but please don't be angry with me if it might take 2-3 days longer to ship...

To answer some concerns about which colorization might be better @malenkos or @taxmans:
There's no "better" or "uglier" it's all about personal taste.
If malenko publishes T2 the same as SFii you might be able to change some things to you personal likings
But that requires you to learn a bit about pin2dmd-editor by steve45 !

Another question is saw was about the visible gap between the two panels:
It's only due to missalignment, my sets have screws on their back to fine-tune the alignment of both panels.
It is sometimes caused by bad habbits of the shipping companies, throwing parcels right through a van to save some time.

When my cftbl is working again (blown rectifier), i can put up a installation tutorial, but like malenko already stated in his video it's fairly simple

Greets and happy gaming

Great work @ OP.

Of other Gottlieb games, I think Stargate would benefit most from a similar project.

Attention group buy folks: Would anyone be interested in delaying shipment for a few days so that Rappelbox can unlock/register our panels prior to shipment? This would mean that the units would be ready to roll upon arrival instead of having to wait for the unlock process to complete. Thoughts?

Haven't sent my money yet, but yes that sounds like a great idea!

edit: Money sent

Wait even longer and maybe I can get in on this. Yall made this happen REALLY fast.

To be precise about that registration/unlocking thing:
I can not make that donation for you!
But once you ordered your set
1. I would send you your personal serial number
2. you donate to lucky1 containing that particular serial and once you receive your unlocking key
3. send that to me.
4. I would then unlock it so that you only have to install the dmd in your pinballs.

Thanks for the clarification! I've made the executive decision to follow this path. This will reduce complexity and furthermore I damn well know that each and every one of us want to play with our new toy immediately vs waiting for the process to complete post-delivery.

I agree with smitherssp. I don't mind waiting an extra day or two.

edit: money sent $$

Here is a video of Malenko´s work on my vpin

I'm so excited for this!! Thanks to Malenko and everyone involved!!

I hope people who plan on using this donate some coin to Malenko for all his hard work!!

So..after T2, how much would you need to do X-Files?

Arg I missed the group buy :/

You can still chime in

Group buy closes on the 12th. That is when everyone needs to have payment to Rappelbox. We are pushing the shipping date back to the 19th as this will allow Rappel to send us what is needed to unlock the devices prior to shipment. If you want a panel please PM Rappel directly.

Hi Malenko, thanks for this awesome piece of work. I've taken my PIN2DMD display out of my virtual pinball and put it into my real SFII and it runs beautifully. I believe that you asked for feedback so after playing many games the only difference I can see on a real pin compared to vpinball is that detection of the Vega and Blanka animation colour key frames is sometimes missed leading to those sequences being shown in black and white. I've tried to reproduce this but unfortunately its pretty random. There's a also corruption on the Blanka car shock animation from the normal upper left lane shot. I've tried opening the files from your repository in the latest Editor but for some reason my PC simply throws up an error all the time so I can't try to help by tweaking. Hope this helps and thank you again!

You may have to remove the file path of the recordings in the xml file of the project

Pm sent!!

ACTUNG! Today is that last day for the group buy. Please PM Rappelbox or Paypal him $200 to [email protected] if you want a panel. He plans to ship around the 19th assuming each buyer quickly participates in the unlock process.
Cheers!
Smithers

I cant do it. Im too broke. Freakin sucks. Maybe there will be another opportunity.

Don't worry!

There maybe will be another groupbuy, but whenever you have the funds take a look into my pinside shop

I'm sure people will notice

I have some european customers that can't wait until you finsih it... none of them are pinsiders.
And they all said they will honor your work!!!

SF2 was just such a transformation man, you really did a bang up job.

T2 is already done. Not as much hype on a title already done. Plus, T2 is probably up there as one of the most modded pins ever, so people dont get as worked up over new stuff. Dont take it personally.

JP now...THAT would be the real hype. A lot of people looking for that to be colored.

I'm just waiting for the go ahead.....

The editor is already prepared for 192x64 and 128x16 So you can continue your work without interruption. Do you have a pin2dmdXL already ?

JP has an Color DMD rom I think. Now get one for Waterworld and we'll talk

No it does not.

Waterworld is fun...not much to those animations though.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but I have access to a Baywatch and Jurassic Park, both with DMD Extender color displays. Does anyone know if DMD Extender by Dr. Pinball supports color files created by the PIN2DMD editor?

Vintage Flipper World has one but it might be a Pin DMD creation or something.
Waterworld is fun but those animations are UGLY, especially in the red. Could use an entire revamp.

It does not. DMD Extender in no way allows colorization beyond the standard 4 color palette swap. The hardware is certainly capable (i.e. powerful enough for frame by frame colorization) but ColorDMD shut down Dr. Pinball when he was starting to implement this.

I'm detecting a pattern with ColorDMD...

You could convert it to a smartdmd by exchanging the software on the Raspi and use it for pinball browser colorized Stern machines.

put this in and you just double the games value, as the price of this display and the game are valued about the same. Display is more valuable tho.

Neo your correct Melenko made it worth millions!

it wouldn't be worth millions even if it was in Yen.

Rappelbox
I sent you a PM buddy, hoping it's not too late to order from you!

Thanks!

Malenko
Your work is amazing!

For those of us who made payment, is there any update on getting our personal serial number so we can send it to lucky1?

Thanks
