This looks awesome!! You are making me want to pick up a new DMD to load this on my machine.

Good work!

Awesome job ScottyC !!

Wonderful! Looks great!

Absolutely LOVE IT, Congrats on finishing this!

Nice work! I try this out over the long weekend. Thanks for sharing

Great job!

arent some of the LEDs bleeding?

Sorry, I’m out of the loop. Which colorized DMD hardware does this work with? How difficult is the software install?

Incredible work!

This fix is for the older panels which had the bleeding problem. Latest generation panels don´t have that problem anymore.

It is a new generation panel when the panel power plug is at this position

Btw. I had to fix the pinMame driver (dmddevice.dll) to enjoy your project with Visual Pinball. I ran into a bug because you used ColMask in your project which is not supported for very early Gottlieb machines. Now it is working perfectly and looking beautiful.

Anyone out there taking money for assembling these? It looks like a fun project but I have too many atm. I really, really like the color work for Mario, so impressed.

Hello, during the cristmas days i reworked my mario and got an pin2dmd display from Rappelbox . I just wanted to say thank you for your great work, it looks gorgous!!!

Thanks you so much for your work. I can now restore my pinball with Rappelbox dmd! Thanks Man!

Thanks for sharing this. I've had a PIN2DMD setup sitting largely unused for a long time. Mario was a game I had originally been interested in using it in. I installed it the other day with your colorization and like it a lot.

A change doesn't appear to have been made in the colorization, but was this limitation ever addressed in the PIN2DMD functionality?

I changed something in the code to address that but it was actually never tested by anyone afaik.

I’m looking to add this to my SMB, anyone know where I can get the hardware?

Hi
One option is www.pin-display.ch but i think somebody in the US also sales them.

dpannell not @dpannell2 fixed

Hi everyone! Looks like Rappelbox is disabled. Is there another source for a plug n play color dmd for mario? Cheers!

dpannell had them too

You can still get his stuff from his Webshop.

You can also get them here: www.pin-display.ch

I got one of these and am having issues. Most of the color is correct, but some of the animations are flashing red and blue? It also looks like some if the animations drag and create a double vision effect...is this normal for a pin2dmd? I've never owned one.

When I unplug the ribbon cable I get this...no config is set. I tried to change to Gottlieb v1 and I saved config but it's like it's not taking?

Is the enhancer setting set to on? I believe it is supposed to be. Your rgb sequence at the top of the display is wrong, you need to set it to match the order of the image at the top of the pin2dmd webpage. https://pin2dmd.com/ Those are the two things I can think of to try of the top of my head.

Mine definitely lists Gottlieb V1 at boot, I recall the setting save procedure was not straightforward and required using a different button. Also, what firmware are you running? The issues you describe are definitely not normal. You may have better luck with support in the general pin2DMD thread...

It is a specific problem of these first generation Gottlieb DMD machines from 1992 which have to use Gottlieb V1. I can`t be avoided but significantly improved by using a appropriate palette in the colorization. Maybe @scottyc can jump in.

I just wanted to give a big Thankyou to ScottyC for all his hard work on this. I just put this into my super Mario pin, and I’m very happy with it. I noticed though that a few of my animations look slightly different than the videos posted above. For example, on mine yoshi has green feet instead of yellow shoes. And luigis cave animation has only white. Am I maybe using old code? I’m sure I downloaded from the link in the first post. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hello

Just want to thank you Scotty for your hard work and that you also share all these files.
pretty amazing work.
Sadly or Lucky it seems that i have a diffrent rom and some parts doesn't work,
so i decided work on your filse.
Also for my first try an work with the editor i used ure files and make some changes.
just som little work around dont expect to much.
I will keep you updated.

Also workt a little on yoshi

Regards Luc

I'd be interested in any updates you make.

So I could not check today, but I will.
Also was thinking it could be because I have it on German but did not think of that befor. Of course this will bring some problems with it.

A replacement scene and all hashes and frames to work together can be difficult. So your work is a perfekt help to see how you have done all that.

I have some ideas but actually I did not know if and how everything is working.
Also That's why I said do not expect to much from me.I am just a newbie. Do not know the limits of the software jet, but I'm willing to try

Of my knowledge so far I think this idea is possible and I will work on all 7 castles, that can be destroyers. Want to make all the diffrent animation for each castle, like in the game.

If anyone is willing to take on the role of colorization on the Mushroom World version, I would be a buyer of another Pin 2 DMD as I can't stand looking at the orange DMD on that pin now either. ScottyC did a fantastic job on the full sized one, so the bar is set pretty high!

Any takers?

If I would had one I would absolute be the person. But I searched. Sadly here you don't get it. I saw that someone was willing to sell one but the price was 8000 and it was about a year ago.

So wish you luck. Hope someone is wiling to help you.
or maybe you can try by your self?

Hello Everyone

I finished castle 2 today and got the movments of Mario.
Did change the castle so it looks more like the orginal game.
Sadly Castle 2 has only about 50 frames and castle one had 75.
so i had tho shorten the sequenz a little.
Hoppfuly you like it.

Regards Luc

I was playing my super Mario bros today and noticed that the video mode was all black. This along with a few other parts makes me think I’m not running the right roms that this was developed for. Could anyone who’s pin2dmd is working nicely, please tell me what roms you’re running? Or if anyone has had this happen I’d really like to hear what worked for you to fix it. Thanks!

Hello sixty

You can try to just reinstall the files to the card.
Mabe change de language on the system.
Or if you know, you just can delet the keframe for the video mode and take the new files to the SD card. So the video mode will be just white.

Best regards Luc

so Finaly lot of work and lot of time needed but here it is Castle 3

Get mi inspiration from this video:

Great work so far!
