RELEASE NOTES

How to Set Up High Score Scrolling

Pixelcade supports in-game effects for select MAME games, powered by DOFLinx. At the end of the Pixelcade installation, you’ll be prompted to enable these effects. Requirements: MAME version 267 or higher is required. If your current MAME version is below 267, the installer will offer to replace it. However, if you’re running a significantly older version, this automatic replacement may cause compatibility issues with your existing setup. In that case, we recommend manually upgrading both your MAME installation and romset to version 267 or higher before enabling DOFLinx effects. All necessary DOFLinx files are installed automatically by the Pixelcade installer. More info on Pixelcade In Game effects with DOFLinx.

Follow this guide to setup Pixelcade LED as a Pinball DMD.

IMPORTANT: For Windows 11 users, turn off Windows Defender as it likely will block the Pixelcade software installation. And then you may need to also add a Defender exclusion for the Pixelcade folder.
