Pin2DMD Stern Star Trek Help

[andy]

I've recently acquired a Stern Star Trek with a Pin2DMD in it.

It works fine and shows the right animations etc but to me some of the colours look wrong, and it certainly looks quite different to the YouTube vid that shows colourisation v1.61, which is the version I have.

I updated the Pin2DMD firmware to v4.31 which has seemed to make a difference though it’s still not correct, for example the blue borders on the end of ball bonus screens are actually mid brown and some animation colours are out. I think the RGB setting on the display is correct (I’ve tried them all anyway!) and presumably if the rom file was in any way corrupt it just wouldn’t work?

This is my first experience of Pin2DMD so I may be missing something obvious or just talking nonsense, but is it possible that the Pal file might be wrong for the colourisation?

I wondered if anyone who has a Star Trek with Pin2DMD could send me their Pal file (or at least compare display settings etc with me) or if anyone has had similar issues in the past?

Thanks very much
Andy

Had similar with a DE Star Wars - some details appeared the wrong colour.
IIRC Using the factory reset option , or whatever it’s called in the menus, seemed to clear the issue.

Thanks for the idea, but I've already tried that - no change unfortunately

Your Star Trek rom is probably different to the one the colourisation is made for.

When it turns on the colour sequence should be the same as this, if not that could be why the colour is off.
Happened when I installed the XL screen.

Off subject slightly, I need a standard stern Star Trek screen, or it will be put in to a pin2dmd,

following this, hope you get it sorted

Perhaps that's the issue...though I'd have thought animations or text would be missing rather than just some of the colours being off?

Yep this is how it looks

Hope so too, but it looks loads better than the standard red dmd anyway so even if I can't improve it it'll be staying!
