DMD Customisation¶
Colour DMD¶
Full Colour ROM / Serum Files¶
VPXS currently is only compatible with 'Serum' colour ROM files.
All the serum files can be found here: VP Universe - Serums
If you are adding a table via the Table Manager, their will be a input for 'Serum'.
If you are adding a serum file to a table that you already have installed on your USB:
1) Open Table Manager
2) Browse to the vpx-table folder via the 'USB Root' tab.
3) In the pinmame folder, add or navigate to a folder called altcolor
4) In the altcolor folder, add a folder with the same name as your rom. You can find the rom name via external/vpx-table/pinmame/roms
5) In the folder that has the same name as the rom, add your .cRZ file. This should also have the same name as the rom.
An example on the 'Creature From The Black Lagoon' table: external/vpx-24/pinmame/altcolor/cftbl_l4/cftbl_l4.cRZ
Change the Colour from Orange¶
The default orange on standard ROM games can be updated via a config file!
If you installed your table via the wizard, you should already have the coloured dmd.
If you manually installed the table, then you can update your ROM colour by going to:
external/vpx-table/pinmame/ini/romname.ini
And in that file, update the dmd_red, dmd_green, and dmd_blue colours. Each of these RGB can be a value between 0-255.
An example is Godzilla, in the file external/vpx-godzilla/pinmame/ini/godzilla.ini I have changed the RGB to green:
[settings]
cheat=0
sound=1
dmd_red=7
dmd_green=168
dmd_blue=36
Which then looks like this:
How to add a custom DMD image to an empty DMD¶
If your DMD is empty (i.e. the table uses backglass scoring) then you will see the default 'Legends Unchained' logo as the image.
If you would like to replace this with another image, just add a dmd.png file to your external/vpx-table folder!
The dmd.png image must:
- Be lowercase
- An Image size of 1920 x 1200
- Live right on the vpx-table folder root: external/vpx-table/dmd.png
Be sure to check the repo folders for a dmd.png file you can add to your table!
Loading Screen¶
Button Labels¶
You can change the button labels that appear during the tables loading screen via a file!
All you need to do is add a launcher.cfg file to the root of your vpx-table folder.
The launcher.cfg file looks like this:
[buttonLabels]
dpadUp = "Up"
dpadDown = "Down"
dpadLeft = "Left"
dpadRight = "Right"
leftFlipper = "Left Flipper"
rightFlipper = "Right Flipper"
leftNudge = "Left Nudge"
rightNudge = "Right Nudge"
nudge = "Nudge"
start = "Start"
menu = "Menu"
So for deadpool, we added a launcher.cfg file to external/vpx-deadpool, and edited it like so:
