      I started acouple days ago trying my hand at the extdmd color rom patching deal.  Im slightly lost, slightly making my way through it.  I did follow along with the write up with the patching tool and got the avengers rom patched.  As I went to use it of course it didnt work, which for me thats the norm.  As I looked in vpinmame.exe I noticed that the avs_170hc is no longer on the rom list for 3.2.  At the time of the write up it was saying to use i believe vpinmame 2.8.  And as i looked through other tables i noticed that there were no color roms for them either.

      I figured that with each update the active rom list would just get larger by adding new roms to the update. Not sure what im missing but why isnt there a active color rom like avs_170hc, ACDC, ect anymore?

       

      Thanks for the help

            Doesnt it also have to have the X next to it before it is active?

              You have to install the VPUniverse Sam vpinmame 3.2 beta build to have color rom support. The vpforums version of vpinmame doe not support color roms

                  Hey all Im back working on trying to get color roms going. I have downloaded sambuild r4799 and reinstalled from vpuniverse but i still am not showing any color roms in vpinmame.  So I have 3.2 vpinmame, version 1.42.  What am I missing?

                    Press F1, tick use external dmd and color – if of course you’ve installed the external dll correctly. Read : dmddevice.dll.

                      when i go to test a rom i still dont see the color roms on the list.

                        After installing the new pinmame – did you run setup.exe and pressed the install button ? If you don’t see the color roms, well, then it can’t work of course. Sounds like you didn’t install from VPU to be honest. Or, you did something wrong.

                            Right. Then if you tick that use external and color and of course have valid colors setup. It should work. What game are you testing ? And what have you done exactly up until now ?

                              Right now im just trying to get the color roms to show up in vpinmame. Iv gone to carney priests thread over at vpuniverse and downloaded r4799 sambuild and freezys 1.7.1 dmdext. Extracted both to my vpinmame folder, overwriting exiting files. Start the setup x64 push install to update. Unlock new dll files.

                              Vpinmame says its version 3.2, 1.42.

                              But still when i go to setup and test a rom i dont see any color roms. Acdc, avengers ect.

                                You have not mentioned a word about where you placed the altcolor files and their names and for that matter a complete example of table/rom.

                                  I haven’t mentioned anything about that because i cant even get the color rom to show up on the rom list. For example avs_170hc.

                                  Its got to be something simple im missing on a download somewhere.

                                    Yes. Start pinmame again. Look at the paths – are they correct ?

                                      Could you post a link to the vpinmame that you use?

                                        I now run this, which was updated yesterday. Make damn sure that you don’t have some antivirus or windows defender running.

                                          Ok so that is the same one iv gone to.  There is 5 different links to choose from.

                                          I have done the sambuild r4799 at the bottom of carnys post and i have also downloaded freezys1.7.1. both have been extracted and files overwrote in my vpinmame folder.

                                          do i need to download any other one from here?

                                          Maybe i just need to uninstall and reinstall

                                          Idk very frustrating running into issues like this, thats why I havent even attemped trying popper, I can see a whole lot of this happening.  LOL

                                          Anyway thanks a ton for helping me work through this.

                                            No. Updated pinmame and Freezy – correctly installed should give you what you’re after. Maybe you’ve put an old pinmame dll in a system folder or somewhere on your machine ? No clue to why it isn’t working for you at this point.
