*Special Note*
Some people have had their .PAC color dmds not work but have had success only copying over these files from Lucky1: DMDdevice.dll, DMDdevice64,dll, Pin2color.dll, and Pin2color64.dll
Episode#37 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Build
In this video I will explain all of the color dmd formats out there, how to install/update freezy, pin2dmd, serum, and Vpinmame, and how/where to install all of the files needed for color dmd for any of the formats out there. These can be tricky but hopefully I can make this an easy task for you! Super cool! As usual, this video will have a ton of tips and tricks to get your custom virtual pinball cabinet working absolutely amazing! This stuff seems crazy hard but is actually pretty simple once you have a walkthrough like this. Fear not! I got you!
