pinball fx gamma correction and brightness not adjustable

[Kiiyara]

Hi there :)

I got my pin2dmd up and running, but in pinball fx the gamma correction and brightness are not adjustable. It's like the pin2dmd doens't read from the dmdDevice.ini file, or the command is wrong.

It uses the right dmdDevice.ini, i can flip horizontally and vertically. If I use the virtual dmd it is adjustable, just not the real pin2dmd. Using mirroring for pinball fx 3 works great too.

Please help, pinball fx should look great too.

Thanks in advance

Yes, so Pinball FX sends the palette itself, because some games change colors during the game. What we're getting for Fish Tales is this:

So you'll see that the first color isn't black, thus the light background. I'll ask Zen to send black for the "black" color instead of a dark color, otherwise we can also override this, if necessary.

From my tests:

Pinball FX (#331100, #772800, #BB4400, #FF6600):

VPM (#000000, #551700, #AA2E00, #FF4500)

Thanks a lot for the response and reaching out to zen. I hope it will be fixed :)

It's not only fish tales btw, most machines send colour instead of black. Addams family is really terrible as well.

It looks like FX3 is doing the same thing now. It impacts all of the pup capture pup pack triggers from firing. Any word back from Zen on this?

Hello Freezy,

I would like to thank you (a lot), the problem is solved. PinballFX finally has a nice DMD :)

Best regards, Kiiyara

Thanks, they recently told me that they fixed it. Glad it's confirmed!
