I think we need a viable Real DMD image or video in color to really test it.  There also seems to be a dedicated "Color Real DMD" folder that has been created.  I'm hoping to get a little free time to play with it today.  Having said that, my existing RealDMD images have stopped displaying and I now only get the PinballX logo.   I'm sure it will sort out shortly.

I've changed the color scheme of several roms.Is there a way to capture using PBX recorder?

 

btw: The color demo works great, I just need some color video to go with it anyone care to share?

[Slydog43]

I want to see a video of someone who has color working with pinballx, I can't get that to work yet.

Before office I meet the postman.....   Yeah. Thank you very much. My evening is now planed today

Noah has brought to my attention he ships out a USB cable as well. I did not realise this (I probably should read the product page of my own product! haha)

 

Any way any EU orders that requite this cable let me know and I will send one out shortly. Just waiting for a reply from Noah to tell me which ones he uses and I will order a big batch.

 

All future orders will include the USB cable

 

Sorry about that!

[freezy]

A long molex cable would be even more useful I suppose.

[russdx]

Yeah I think thats what Noah is supplying not sure what length just waiting for him to confirm

[roar]

Yeah I think thats what Noah is supplying not sure what length just waiting for him to confirm

 

Noah offered to build molex cables to a required length for a fair price if I recall. I mistakenly PM'd here rather than email so I didn't get a chance to get one in on my order. One was not included with the order, just the USB.

What length was the USB cable?

 

Thanks

[dstott]

Russ,

 

This is what Noah said when I asked the question way back when.  I didn't measure mine, but that seems about right. I know I had plenty to get fro my coin door up into the head.

 

I have 10ft here in the shop that I'll be packing with these displays.

[russdx]

10ft wow, how much did you have spare? where is your pc based in your cab?

[Noah Fentz]

I went with 10 footers to cover pretty much every possible configuration. With our units, we use all 10', with the folding backbox.

I want to see a video of someone who has color working with pinballx, I can't get that to work yet.

I haven't had any time to make a video, tour season has been taking up 120% of my time.

But here's how I got PinballX to use the color settings I created for each rom.

 

In PinballX settings:

Hide Pinmame: NO

Use PinMAME in Front End: YES

 

After I set those a new option appeared in Game List Manager next to Hide Backglass for the Rom.

Choose the same Rom you use for the table in VP (Script / Gamename)

And it works like a charm in PBX.

 

Pretty sure that's all there was to it...

Glad you got it sorted!

Sometimes I'll find myself just flipping through the tables in PBX 

longer than I actually play anything just to check out all the purdy colors, hahaha!

10ft wow, how much did you have spare? where is your pc based in your cab?

My PC is at the front of the cab, with the ports facing the coin door.  I figured I needed 6 foot of cable, so I asked the question.  10' left me a lot of surplus, but made it easy to use the original wire loops on the sides of the cabinet.  My cab began its life as an F-14 and I kept the original wire clips, since they still held the original harness when I got the cab.

[gStAv]

As of the PinballX logo, which I made back in the days, I just did in B&W so that's maybe why you see it as only white.

Try my custom clip and see if it works, replace the default

yaay! mine arrived today and works like a charm, apart from initial driver installation issues for testing on windows10.

i am really impressed by the build and image quality! very good job to noah and to russ for assembly

stern should put those into their machines, instead of the low quality, not perfectly aligned red ones...

best regards!

[russdx]

Regarding windows 10 I am in the process of getting a signed USB driver and for it to be added to the windows driver store. Basically means when you plug in the pinDMD3 windows 7/8/10 will just go off and download/install all by it self without problems

 

This is quite a long process with downloading various windows drivers kits and paying for the licence and all sorts but i hope to have it done in the next few months.

 

Will definitely make installation easier

Hi everybody,

 

coming back to PinballX: The Game Manager has an option to choose a RealDMD video file for each table. But whatever I chose, nothing happens on the PinDMD3. Except for the white PinballX animation.

Is there a way to put these videos on the DMD? Even in B/W?

 

Cheers

Timo

 

P.S.: That's a beautiful piece of hardware, Russ! It really lights up my life and my room :-) Thank you!!!
