File Name: Star Trek - The Next Generation (Williams 1993) dB2S DT ColorDMD VP91x D+N-MOD

File Submitter: xenonph

File Submitted: 30 May 2017

File Category: VP/VPinMAME 9.x - MOD Tables

Author(s): JPSalas

dB2SDT Mod Xenonph
Manufacturer: Williams
Year: 1993
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Unspecified

This is a DT table with working dB2S backglass on same screen.
I first would like to thank JPSalas for allowing mods without permission, and Bassgeige for giving me permission to use his works of art!!
 
THE METHOD I AM USING TO CONVERT THESE DESKTOP VERSION TABLES TO BE ABLE TO USE AND HAVE ON SAME SCREEN A WORKING TABLE AND WORKING DB2S BACKGLASS IS A METHOD I LEARNED FROM KAAN, SO I WANT TO THANK HIM VERY MUCH.
 
YOU WILL NEED THE dB2S BACKGLASS PROGRAM INSTALLED FOR THIS TABLE TO WORK PROPERLY.
I HAVE INCLUDED B2S Backglass Server 1.3.0.2 WITH DOWNLOAD.
 
YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP THESE 4 ITEMS IN SAME FOLDER FOR THESE TABLES TO WORK PROPERLY.

SCREENRES.TXT
B2S.EXE
PINBALL TABLE.VPT
BACKGLASS.DB2S

SIMPLY START TABLE AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER TABLE. THE DB2S BACKGLASS WILL AUTOMATICALLY STAY ON SCREEN.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE A DIFFERENT BACKGLASS, SIMPLY NAME NEW BACKGLASS SAME AS TABLE NAME AND PUT IN SAME FOLDER AS TABLE.
IF YOU USE 3 SCREEN BACKGLASSES THAT HAVE DMD, YOU CAN RIGHT CLICK ON A RUNNING BACKGLASS AND CHANGE IT TO HIDE GRILL, AS THESE 3 SCREEN VERSIONS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH THIS METHOD. ALSO ANY DB2S FILES THAT ARE REALLY LARGE WONT WORK WITH THIS METHOD AS IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR THE BACKGLASS TO LOAD.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH FLIPPERS STICKING, TRY RESTARTING TABLE AS THIS IS USUALLY DUE TO FIRST TIME PLAYING TABLE ON SYSTEM.

NOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE FULL BACKGLASS IN ACTION, AS SEEN BY CABINET USERS, ON A DESKTOP VERSION TABLE!!!
 
HOPE YOU ENJOY, AND REMEMBER TO THANK THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS OF THESE TABLES AND BACKGLASSES!!

Can you explain what you mean by ColorDMD?

[xenonph]

I have added ColorDMD commands to table script ( I found these Color Codes here and just opened them with notepad to get the RGB numbers..

https://www.pinballb...mdprofiles.html

So it is a Color Dot Matrix Display, or DMD.

 

I have added ColorDMD script commands to most of these new dB2SDT mods.

 

To activate color in PinMAME, run setup.exe again and when it gets to colordmd menu just check mark Colorize DMD, or you can hit F1 while game is loaded, and activate color from that menu for a per table per rom activation, but activating ColorDMD from your PinMAME setup.exe will cover all tables and roms.

 

Hope you like them.

I understand... ColorDMD is a product for real pin's so I was a little confused to what was being offered here but your explanation clarifies that it isn't the actual dots from the ColorDMD offering. Thanks for the explanation!
