Request Colour DMD

I'm not sure how good it looks in motion or what's involved in the installation (whether it's just a DMD and integrated circuit or if it involves a new ROM) but having a quick look at this page, the next cab off the rank for colour DMDs (after AFM) is Medieval Madness.

What would be the chances of having an option for it in the future? Would Williams have to sign off on it again or is that all dependant on whether it uses a modified ROM or the original one?

ColorDMD displays have a processor and memory in them that maps the incoming monochrome DMD data from the game ROM to a multicolor display. The existing ROM is unchanged (and is totally unaware that the DMD is not the factory one).

Would FS have to use the code by ColorDMD in order to duplicate this? ColorDMD, of course, had to create code in order to run the hardware they created, but with TPA, adding color to a program is just par for the course isn't it?
