Welcome to the Serum Wiki!

Serum is an open-source, cross-platform pinball colorization format. The Windows version also provides an editor, which consists out of:

• ColorizingDMD -> the editor to colorize frames
• SortingCDump -> used to organize frames

The Wiki primarily focuses on the Serum colorization format, which was introduced by David "Zedrummer" Lafarge. David created this open-source format after learning that his ZeDMD project would not receive PAC support, a decision that ultimately led to where we are now.

Subsequently, Markus "mk47" Kalkbrenner took over the ZeDMD project. Since then, Markus has played a pivotal role in advancing the ZeDMD project and significantly contributing to the broader Serum/ZeDMD ecosystem, enhancing its development and functionality.

The Features

• Highly advanced editor with many tools
• Support for multiple/extra resolutions
• RGB565 format resulting in a maximum of 65,536 colors per frame
• Backgrounds, Sprites, Dynamic Shadows, Video/Image importing, Color Rotations and more
