Freezys 1.7.2 had a known problem with PIN2DMD files.

those issues have been fixed with 1.8, the post you read most likely said only use 1.7.1 when their was no 1.8 version.

why don’t you post screen shots of what you have done and links to the files you used.

its very difficult to give you any advice when you have very little info.

and this is a screen capture running on the latest version of Freezys 1.8.x

Thanks 32assassin, BTW are you the same 32assassin from the HS forum? Reminds me of the good old days! So about Freezy, I think you’re right, 1.8 works for SMB, I just updated to the latest 1.8.x too. Side note though, for the Street Fighter 2 table, 1.8 still doesn’t work, you have to use 1.7.1 for the colorization or else it displays it in black and white. I got this information from here https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pin2dmd-colorization-of-super-mario-bros#post-6029089

Here’s a short video of what mine looks like currently https://youtu.be/pE9h_7nhTf0

You can see that the Gottlieb logo in this video has color but mine doesn’t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU_1ifjs5Nw

How can I get to the screen you posted to see what mine looks like? Can you share the rom and altcolor files you’re using?

@yardley   What front end are you using?

DMD will not be in color when using 1.8 Freezy with a version newer then SAMBuild_r4906.zip (For me it will not)
With newer version of SAMBuild You will need to use Freezy 1.71 for Super Mario Bros

I’m using Popper, I already implemented the workaround that switches between the 1.7 and 1.8 dmddevice.ini depending on the table launched. Works great, Street Fighter 2 colorization looks correct but SMB doesn’t. With that said I’m testing directly through VPX to keep things simple, I just manually rename to dmddevice.ini’s myself. I’m not sure which revision of the SAMBuild I have, I just know its 3.3b. Is there a way to find out?

Mine looks closer to the one in this video, but there are still some differences https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgyo5l_gyHI

But in this video the DMD looks the best, this is what I am trying to achieve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU_1ifjs5Nw

I got it to work! I think what worked ultimately right now was cleaning up all of the extra files in the altcolor smb3 directory and leaving only the .pal and .vni files in there. I can confirm that it works with Freezy 1.8.2.

I take that back, it does not work with Freezy 1.8.2, I have to use 1.7.1.

same one

the only difference  I see between the two videos is

you are running a generic video in your front end,  the 2nd YouTube video as a video that was captured with the  DMD colored.

run this video in your front end.  Load the table and wait for the attract mode to cycle through the images if you see

the image I posted above and it  has the same colors your project is working as its suppose to.

(unless you have an older version of the VNI and PAL )

@32assassin @yardley

My VNI and PAL are from 11/20/2017

Correct those are the working ones for me. There is another PAL out there being passed around without a VNI and that one doesn’t work correctly. All is well now after using the correct VNI and PAL and running the DmdDevice.ini from Freezy 1.7.1.

I just tested this again

the original 3 year old files released by Scotty

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pin2dmd-colorization-of-super-mario-bros

work on Freezys 1.8.2

but the updated files released (2 months ago) by Lucxor

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pin2dmd-colorization-of-super-mario-bros/page/2

have allot of broken scenes in 1.8.2

This is a question for lucky; my only guess is that Lucxor is using a dated PIN2DMD editor.
