I have a Pin2DMD on the way. Could someone post a picture of their SAM cable setup? I want to make sure I have everything I need to hook it up to my Iron Man. It looks like you don't have to use Pinball Browser with SAM machines exclusively anymore to colorize. Just want to double check the connection from SAM to computer to record the DMD from Iron Man. Thanks

Yes the Iron Man color is included. As well as power cable. I was very confused as to what to use to record the animations.

lucky1, Thank you for the links. I spent some time this morning reading up on how to get Pin2DMD installed. I was able to get the tools and editor installed just waiting on the DMD to arrive.

Quoted from dzorbas:

Your statement is a bit confusing. From what I understand, no one has taken on doing Iron Man for PIN2DMD displays. Did someone tell you they were going to provide you with the files? As Markharris2000 said, if they are providing files, there's nothing you have to do other than install it. If it requires the extra cable that is used for some Stern games such as Metallica then there's more to it.
If you want to try to do the colourization yourself, unless this person is providing you with all their project files, you will be starting from scratch. Be prepared as there is a lot of work involved. You can check the threads on vpuniverse.com for more info.

I am a bit confusing for sure. I have been trying to figure out if the "side channel" serial cable was needed with the Pin2Dmd evo. It is a SAM board like Metallica and ACDC, I believe I do need extra cable for it to work with Iron Man. I just received the Pin2dmd evo yesterday in the mail, was told it would be activated and the IM colorization would be loaded on sd card already. I have not yet powered it up so I don't know if there are any IM colorizations on there yet. I sure hope so. I have been using Pinball Browser to modify some of the dmd animations on my Iron Man and want to be able to color those with the Pin2dmd editor so they match the rest of the game. I would love to tinker some more with the movie clips but it eats up so much of the memory, I am hoping that Pin2dmd would help. I really appreciate all the help, Thanks

Quoted from lucky1:

If the colorization is based on pinball browsers smartdmd modified ROM / serial side-channel method you need a serial cable for the side channel. (search for smartdmd and pinball browser for explanation here in the forum). If you colorize using pin2dmd editor you don´t need the side-channel.

Thanks lucky1, Do I need the side-channel to record what is currently on my Iron Man? I have some video sequences that were uploaded via Pinball Browser that I have loaded on my machine. I would like to do some others but running out of memory quickly, wanted to try the Pin2dmd to see if I could do some more customizations.
BTW I have a ColorDMD that I was using and the power cable from it is already installed on my machine, will that work with the Pin2dmd evo? I assumed it would, but don't want to try anything that may fry the board. The power hookup that came with the Pin2dmd is for the 12v WPC and I see the 5v says SAM so again, I thought I would ask. thanks again

I was mistaken, I think he was just wanting to know what game I had so he could configure it to the SAM setting. I hooked it up but it doesn't have any colors mapped. I am still working on getting some recordings off it. Then need to learn how to use the editor. Good luck with yours.
