pinup player zedmd don't work with ver. 2.2.2

[davy33]

zedmd works everywhere exept in popper (only black) ... i find a trick for zedmd works : enabled both virtualdmd and zedmd and hide the virtual one out of screen. did the job well but i think it's not normal...

[zesinger]

you mean that if the VirtualDMD is activated, the ZeDMD works?

[davy33]

absolutly! if i turned it off ,no more display on zedmd ( only with pinup popper)

[zesinger]

Even if you launch a VPX table from Pinup Popper, come back to the frontend, restart another table, go back to the frontend, etc... ZeDMD always works?

[davy33]

well when i launch a table trough popper zedmd works in vpx... i quit the table to return in popper zedmd is black

[davy33]

(zedmd works normally with dmdext 2.2.1)

[zesinger]

Ah OK, I thought that ZeDMD was working without any issue if the VirtualDMD was active. I think that when the next dmdext with Serum 2 support will be out (should be done really soon), we will work on this issue.

[davy33]

ok thx i'll waiting to test it ;)

@davy33 can you confirm that v2.3.0 fixes it?

[davy33]

@freezy not for thé moment.... Yesterday m'y pincab had a dramatic electric failure 😭 i have to unmount everything! I'll tell you that in a few days!

[davy33]

@freezy i was able to test 2.3.0 (and update zedmd to 4.0.2)... i still have the same issue ... if virtualdmd is not enabled zedmd is black when i launch pinup( totally... without the dmd version text) . once i launch a table the dmd blink and show "ZEDMD" and back to black! BUT if i enabled virtualdmd everything works perfectly (both in pinup and vpx)

I'm so glad if found this thread! I have been stuck at 2.1 all this time because the popper dmd stopped working when updated. Didn't know keeping the virtual up was the fix! Such a big deal with the new serum colorizations. I just assumed it was a popper problem. To show dmd images, the popper dmd has to be up and I think the dmdext/zedmd then mirrors the popper display. This issue and fix persists with the current public releases.

Update to dmd-extensions 2.3.1 and ZeDMD v5.1.5. Ensure to remove zedmd.dll and zedmd64.dll from your VPinMAME folder if they exist.
