Pin2DMD on TZ oddity

[Mike Parkins]

I'm very impressed with the colourisation for TZ generally but this puzzles me. I finally caught it while watching people play over the Medway anniversary weekend. Some of the frames for the multiball sequence are very odd and I wondered if anyone else gets the same, or maybe my ROM (L-4) is to blame?

Could it corruption in the pin2dmd colourisation file?

Not sure if this is right product but I heard one of them works by detecting what the DMD would be displaying using templates them has a map for each template to colourise the right parts of it, I'm sure one of them used a spreadsheet to colourise it.

It looks like it's displaying the right info just with the wrong colours.

Pin2dmds are not the best colour displays I am afraid. Had weird things like this happen alot.

You need to see what ROM the author used to make the files.

Also ask what Firmware he did the design with.

In the past I have had to go to older firmware, and/or change the eprom.

Also worth as @Fantazia2 said - reinstalling the colour file.

Is it a PAC file or the older style files?

Not sure what files I have here. Defo not .pac

This video seems to show the same issues from about 5:55 could be the colourisation is still a work in progress.

Do you have the latest version of the colorfile?

The creator of that colorfile is on the forum @-NetzZwerg- , hopefully he has an idea

According to VP Universe it's still in Beta, last updated in May '22, but that is the Vpin version though.

Hi guys,
this is still an issue due to the beta state of the colorization. I hope to provide an update in a couple of weeks. it won´t be the final version but should fix some issues like this. This one is a really hard one to colorize though...

Thank you for confirming this Martin, I look forward to the update. I can't imagine how much time it takes to create them...
cheers, mike.
