Freezys color mod question

[roccodimarco]

So I decided to try  out color dmds.  I can get them to work no problem, but a lot of my dmds are in different locations.  I found in the faq to save individual games you go into the dmd.ini file and use this :
[baywatch]
pindmd2 enabled = false
virtualdmd enabled = true
virtualdmd left = 2500
virtualdmd top = 800
virtualdmd width = 1024
virtualdmd height = 256

 

My questions are: The game name, is that the roms name or the table name in your vpx folder? And where exactly do you put this in the ini file? Any where or do I put it at the top?

This is how mine is currently setup.  So I would put it right after pinup?

You will not these 2 lines
pindmd2 enabled = false
virtualdmd enabled = true

Like this

; if enabled, writes frames to an .avi file
enabled = false
; path to folder or .avi file. if folder, gamename.avi is used.
path =

[pinup]
; if enabled, send frames to PinUP.
enabled = true

Hey that got it working! I really enjoy these few color Dmds out there. I have a question. Does anyone else notice stuttering when using them? I downloaded the totan one and I swear it stutters more when the color dmd is on. Is this my imagination or is this a known thing?

Hmm I’m not sure. I grabbed everything recently. Is there a way to tell? I mean I’m sure there is, where do I look? I put almost all the color mods from vpu on but this seems like the only one that stutters. I may just be imagining it.

You would hope it was only  a question of retrieving the version number by right clicking -> properties ->  details and then look at version field. But, it requires that the developer has been tidy. I just checked my dmddevice – says 1.7.2 – I know it isn’t. It is actuall 1.7.1 mjr patched.

I believe  freezies 1.71 is the only current version that supports full color. The newer versions are said to have bugs.

Freezies 1.71.

https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/releases/tag/v1.7.1

Make a copy of your DmdDevice.ini so you don’t lose Dmd placement of better yet. You don’t even have to copy that over.
