If the firmware is upgraded is a new license needed or will it just use any that was there prior? Looks like a nice update!

I finally had a chance to try the PIN2DMD module in a SEGA Independence Day machine. It was really cool to see it working! The original DMD has one row at the bottom and two columns a the the end out. With the PIN2DMD installed it all looked good. Installed the colorization for ID4 and it definitely seemed like it was working but it seemed that I wasn't getting all the colors that were in this video:

The current Firmware on my display isn't up to date. If I update that should I be able to get the rest of the colors?

Because I often see posts where people try something that didn’t work then get slammed for not asking a simple question first.

Hoped that someone would be able to confirm that in order to display all the colors in a colorization you need to run the latest firmware of x,x version and above. That’s all. I’ll try to get the firmware updated on the display.

I believe I have the latest colorization for ID4 and even without all the colors it was really cool to see it working in the game.

I have to say the firmware update on the PIN2DMD has got to be the easiest and cleanest update I've ever done! The display was at 3.17 and now it is running 4.10 Will try it in the game to see how it looks now.

I may have missed a step somewhere or maybe I have an older colorization for ID4. My panel boots to version 4.10 now and I still see colorized versions of the display but it looks like the Palette is only using about 4 colors. Would that just be in the colorization PAL file or are there some of the settings I need to alter in the panel itself? I'm going to search to see if I can find a newer colorization for the game in the meantime.

It looks like I was using the wrong colorization file and had the one for the virtual pins. Going to get the correct colorization and expect that will resolve the remaining issue.

All set and working well now! What a cool project and really happy with the end result. Just need to pull out the original DMD and get this mounted to finish it up.
