Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Mushroom World table crash with color rom palette .VNI and PAC files

[Mrtr32]

The Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Mushroom World table crash with colors .VNI or PAC file in the color rom folder
Removing the color files and all is working as expected without colors.

I'm not sure this issue is related to the DMDEXT v2.2 Final.

All other tables with color roms work great!

verified. totally crashes vpx 10.7.4 x86 and x64. However it does work with freezys dll's dated 8/10/2023 (2.2.0-plugins r112)

[Mrtr32]

totally crashes VPX 10.8.0 x86 also.

After more testing finaly isolated the exact setting that causing tables to crashes
The default settings vni.scalermode = doubler dont show anything on DMD and cause the table crashes

The workaround for .vni and pal files only is to set vni.scalermode = scale2x and all is working as expected

Only the smb3.pac file crashes the table

Thanks!

You mean at the dmddevice.ini? I have a simple "scalermode" line but it's set to scale2x and the table still crashed.

@workerb0y

Yes I mean dmdevice.ini

You need to overwrite all the files with the ones in the v2.2.0 build

You seems to have an old dmddevice.ini if vni.scalermode is not present.

Yes, I just filled that gap. But unfortunately, the table still crashes, no matter how I set it up.

[Mrtr32]

make sure you have vni.scalermode = scale2x in the dmddevice.ini

[workerb0y]

Yes, it is set to scale2x. Still the same error, SMB crashes after a few seconds and there is nothing on the dmd screen.

[Mrtr32]

Are you using the .vni and .pal files in the altcolor folder?

Only the smb3.pac file crashes the table.

[workerb0y]

I have both and use the pac.
But meantime somehow it solved, I copied the dll-s here and there and probably your suggestion was helped. :)
I testted some tables and everything looks fine now.

[Mrtr32]

What is the dlls you are using?

Currently the smb3.pac crashes and dont work on my setup.

[workerb0y]

Sorry, I seem to have messed things up a bit. I used an earlier dll from the beginning of March (possibly Lucky), replaced the new one with it, and tried the colorings one by one. So if I only use the latest freezy, the pac doesn't work properly.

[Mrtr32]

I never installed the Lucky dlls on my cab so it will be very cool to have the PAC working like .VNI/PAL and cRZ.

Thanks!

Can you guys try this and confirm if the problem is fixed?

• 32-bit
• 64-bit

Yes, thank you so much! It looks like everything (all 3 colorizations) works perfect with this version on x64. I use only x64 so I didn't tried the x86. For me, it's perfect now! Thanks again!

[Mrtr32]

Wow this is the first time I see the PAC working on my cab!

Everything is working great with the 2.2.1 test build x86

Thank you very much freezy for all your excellent work!
