Hi everyone,
 

I recently upgraded my FlexDMD to Version 1.9 aswell as freezy's dmd-extensions to version 2.2.1.

The FlexDMD Demo works fine and when launching the FlexDMDui.exe all points are checked with a green checkmark so I assume everything should be installed correctly.

 

However my altcolor DMDs doesn't work since the update anymore. Once I replace the DMDdevice.dll with the old version, my altcolor DMDs work again. 
 

I don't understand whats causing the new version of DMDdevice.dll to not work with my altcolor dmd files.

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers,

Luca

You need to modify the dmddevice.ini as well to add the pac key in it. This will avoid colorization (not only for pac)

No other drivers needed for freezys, just have to put the PAC key in the ini

Can you recall which one?
Pretty sure i have all of them, and have not run into an issue as of yet?

 

But, the newer version that is on appveyor (which is newer than that serum update)
Well, it has expired and so is gone

Shame they dont exist in github actions, only the releases are there, but there were newer builds in appveyor

 

I dont think freezy has the time to look at setting up github actions?

I think i have something like

 2.2.2-SNAPSHOT-r1 ?

I have been away for a few months and was hoping all this ROM colorization stuff was going to be sorted out.  Afraid to update my stuff.

Well now i am really confused, because i only have the freezy's build i posted above (but the appveyor action expired)

and ACDC is working.

Maybe it was built into that action?

Dont know.

 

Bummer that appveyor auto trashes everything in 30 days though
