I´ve started a open source project with a STM32F4 microcontroller dev board to use two 64x32 china RGB LED DMD panels as a replacement for pinball DMDs. I call it PIN2DMD. Costs around 100$ altogether. I´ve just implemented the color mapping code and would like to test it with a colorized ROM from a Stern or WPC machine. Could someone provide me link where I can find these ROMs ? I currently use PinMAME with PINDMD compatible USB interface to test but plan to implement a real pinball DMD interface. More Infos can be found in the vpuniverse forum, since I can´t post any links here (newbie).

Thanks for your help

I know that the signalling ist totally different. We have to grab the serial data for the rows from the DMD connector but I started
off with the data I get from pinmame to get an colorized version of pindmd interface. Is there a place where I can download such
a patch ?

Sharkky is ! Here is a preview. Currently trying to avoid memory problems using pin2dmd alternative keyframe/palette switching.

IFAIK he already colorized all scenes but is currently trying to get around the memory problem

Both !
He is using pin2dmd with pinball browser modified ROM image. Problem is that not all modifications fit into the ROM
and now he tries to replace some of them with pin2dmd keyframe. Did that already with Avengers.

It is always better to address the task at the root, which is the ROM especially when
it comes to dynamic content like overplayed score display etc.
We currently only use pin2dmd features to get around the limits of pinball browser.
We currently use pinball browser inframe tagging for palette switching.

There are always limits but none we get near to.

- no in the top left corner but imho it is hardly noticeable.
Have a look at the videos here:

SmartDMD colorization with pinballbrowser is only supported for Stern SAM. WPC only supports setting 4 colors for the whole game.

SmartDMD colorizations can be used with pin2dmd but you can´t use a pin2dmd colorization with smartDMD
