How cool would this be if it were to be possible in to TPA; which I know it's not, but one can dream? So, dream a little dream with me♫

And even though this isn't on TPA it is most peoples fave or at least high up on the list, so here's the mamushka

Cool!

I've played AFM with a color DMD and it was great. I was surprised how much it added to the experience. If I owned a machine that it was available for, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. They are pricy though.

I played all those except STTNG with color because it just came out, but yeah it adds so much to the game after hours of watching MM animations then seeing them in color it was like seeing them for the first time. Id pay for that option over pro mode any day.

Anyone know the tech behind how these work? The table ROMs aren't modded are they?

The ColorDMD unit has a processor inside it that receives the original display commands from the table ROM and "translates" it into a color image. The table ROM itself is completely unaware that the DMD is not the original one.

Theyre programed dot by dot thats why they take so long to make new ones although they have talked about offering them as multi color DMD so you can choose wich monochrome color you want but they need programming or something.

Are they plasma DMD's or LED?

LCD

considering how expensive the tables they've made these for, and how much other mods can run, if I had one of these tables I'd totally pony up for the Color DMD. Very cool.

I'd absolutely love to see one of these for Cirqus Voltaire.
Then I would love to find a nice, clean CV for less than 8k.

All this discussion and no one links the official site? http://www.colordmd.com/Home.html

Unfortunately, there's no room for the laptop LCD panel that ColorDMD uses in a CV, so you can pretty much assume it'll never happen. I agree it would be a great candidate for it otherwise.

Well that's a bummer... one dream dashed.
CURSE YOU STEVET! CUUUURRRSSSSEEEEE YYYYOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Doesn't mean they can't do it - just that they won't be able to use a "standard" laptop LCD screen. LCDs come in all shapes and sizes and I'm sure they can find one the appropriate size that would fit in a CV. It just might cost a bit more as they're more of a specialty item. Or perhaps they'll be forced to actually create an array of RGB LEDs and use that directly.

They just announced that White Water will be the next pin to get the color DMD treatment.
They will be showing it at the Texas pinball show..

Here's hoping they'll do one for Twilight Zone.

Kolchak357 · Mar 11, 2013

TZ might be weird. The show was in black and white, so I don't know if I would be into that.

SKILL_SHOT · Mar 11, 2013

I read TZ owners get the black and white DMD like you said klochak the show was black and white.
