Apologies for a noobie question on Pinball-Browser. I wanted to see some DMD images of Theatre of Magic. I downloaded the ROM from ipdb. All good. The problem is that the images are only showing up black/white (or black and Red) -- not 4 scale at least.

I don't have a SmartDmd, is that needed to get multi-color?

BTW - I bought a license for PB just to contribute to the project.

Quoted from Markharris2000:
The factory ROMs do not have color information.

But factory ROMs are more than just On and Off, they have at least 4 values. Just look at any WPC game's DMD (stock DMD). Or use https://playfield.dev/

I'm only seeing On and Off in Pinball-Browser, which means at least 2 or 3 other layers are not being produced

Quoted from slochar:
You check the box that groups it with the next frame to see the shading. I didn't think you can export that though. You can dump all the graphics as png using other resources and manually set the intensity in a paint program.

Got it, thanks!

Yeah that makes pinball browser very less useful for WPC pins. Oh well!
