External DMD (dll) displays incorrectly on some Gottliebs

Open Kraken74 opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Some Gottlieb tables are displaying the External DMDs incorrectly. It looks like once a LCD segment has been lit during gameplay, it remains lit, eventually ending up with all segments lit as your score increases. Tested with 998 and 1108. These are used to trigger colorizations.

Some samples:

Gottlieb System 1

Incredible Hulk image

Gottlieb System 80

Black Hole image

Haunted House image

Thanks!

Just tested two System 80A tables (Qbert and Alien Star) and a System 80B table (Bounty Hunter) and they work fine, so it seems to be with specific generations.

@vbousquet Could this be due to the dimming changes?

Not sure to understand what is not displaying correctly here (previous report was regarding alphanumeric display). COuld you be more precise ?

External DMD displaying all black outside of score, none of the dimmed pixels appear. In gameplay, causes flashing.

Then, this should be a different bug, that will normally be solved by https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/pull/353

This is not a bug in PinMame but in DmdExt. @freezy There is a Clear missing here: https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/blob/b0835858bdc31f464044f04f9bbe6fcd1bddf794/LibDmd/DmdDevice/AlphaNumeric.cs#L345
