Posting a new topic to introduce the seven new titles. There are now 28 titles available on the website: www.sparkypinball.com. Most of these are also available on mezelmods.com. I'm hoping to continue to add more titles in a timely manner.

These play video clips, not still photos. Plug n play, and video repeats when finished. WPC, WPC95, and DE come with DK Pinball Power Taps. Stern Power Taps are available as an option, but most Stern MDM's can plug into the aux plug (all except ST; power tap provided). I also have 5v/12v harness splitters as an option.

>>Edit: Video is not included. The video stills pictured on the MDM's are for display demonstration only. I'm working on instructions for the website to show customers how to load their own video file to the micro sd card. It's a little more involved than just copying the file to the card. It's not very difficult, but it requires some steps to make it work.<<

Top five sellers since the website launched beginning of August:

1. TSPP
2. Metallica
3. CFTBL
4. Tron
5. Iron Man

Quoted from msj2222:

what does the ac/dc video play...any link. Thanks

A lot like Metallica, it's a mixture of VH1's "Behind the Music," concert footage, parts of music videos, and the Black Ice tour intro animation.

Mike, email sent.

It hasn't been an issue yet, but I'm going to start working on instructions for customers to load their own video to the micro sd card.

These displays are originally intended as graphical user interfaces that happen to play video files when programmed to read the micro sd card on power up. When programmed properly, these essentially become media devices, and customers can use them however they choose.

I need to be more clear on the website that video is not included, but I will provide as much help as needed to make sure the customers get what they want on their own device.

Quoted from msj2222:

I am sure it will all work out. It is certainly worth a little extra effort for an awesome mod. Love mine and look forward to adding more...even if I have to load my own video. Thanks

I have temporarily put all products out of stock while I work on the instructions. Mezelmods has also placed these as "unavailable" until I finish the instructions. I will try to create an easy to follow youtube tutorial, as well as written instructions.

It really isn't very difficult. It's just a little more involved than just copying a file to a micro sd card.

Quoted from CraZyMuffin:

Wow, I didn't know someone was already making these (mini displays for the pins). I have seen a few small runs in the past, but nothing large scale like this.
I actually starting working on my own in the past couple months for TZ that I was about to reveal here on pinside.
Good thing I only made 10 of them, as it looks like it will be hard to sell them with this new competition ;o)
They are made with 2.8" lcd displays, running from a raspberry pi. So they are a little bit bigger and more expensive, but also have the potential for interactivity and customization, also larger SD cards for long video. But other then that, serve the same purpose.

Some early customers back in May got the black and silver tv (similar to the TSPP TV currently on the site), but I stopped making them after they sold out. I hope to have a plastic MDM style for TZ in the next batch of new releases.

Quoted from Chitownpinball:

A theatre looking plastic surround with curtains or something would be sweet, then you could have the mr dna video and the behind the scenes at jp clips....fun stuff. Very cool

ToM uses the theater curtains. Customers can use that one for JP if they want.

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!

Quoted from mrclean:

Again to reiterate, I happen to absolutely love some of the other new designs ... JP just needs to be changed.
What are the total dimensions / do you have a template ? of the generic outside / inside plastic frames for the micro displays ? I would love to go into illustrator and draw up my own. I still say grid background with Mr. DNA wrapped around it displaying / showing stuff on the screen would be what I would try to create.
The game does actually have a Mr. DNA mode, albeit kinda lame but I feel that either that or that touch screen inside the old explorers with the map... I'm going to likely add one but design my own frame.

I posted this on the other MDM thread. Sorry if it's considered a double post:

I'm still working on a video tutorial showing customers how to load their own video. I hope to put the product back in stock on the website soon.

However, for those of you attending Expo, Rob Anthony (Borygard) should have some titles on display and in stock at his table: TSPP, ACDC, TWD, GnR, CFTBL, and I made some TZ and TAF black and silver TV's for him, as well. The TZ and TAF are not carried on my website, and I'm not sure I'll be making more. TZ as an MDM with a plastic bezel will probably be part of the next batch of new releases, though.

Rob Anthony's table at Expo (Borygard). Seven designs for sale, including two not on my website: TZ, TAF, plus TWD, ACDC, GnR, CFTBL, and TSPP.

I posted on the other thread a few days ago...these are available again on both my site and mezelmods.com.

Instructions for loading your own video are available as a youtube tutorial, webpage, and pdf download.
Here's the youtube tutorial, if you're interested:
