Dynamic Marquee Display Tool for RetroBat Arcade Systems: A Python-based solution for automatically updating secondary screen marquees in response to game and system selections.
When running start.bat my DMD screen just flashes white, when running dmd.exe it seems like it doesn't like the response it gets. Here is the output from dmd.exe

I am wondering if dmd.exe isn't configured to get a 256x64 resolution response.
Hi, I just built a ZeDMD-HD using 2 128x64 panels, so my device is 256x64.
I am able to run zedmd_test.exe from https://github.com/PPUC/libzedmd/releases/tag/v0.7.4 so I think my device is working correctly. It finds the device on COM3
