Hey All!

Anyone try to put a Color DMD in a Black Rose?

I'd like to get one and change my display to Scanlines in Red or Upscale in Red, but the Color DMD website says it "probably" won't work:
http://shop.colordmd.com/colordmd-replacement-display-sigma/

"Supports most WPC and WPC95 games, but some games may not acommodate mounting of the LCD display due to space limitations or the presence of lamps or circuit boards on the rear of the speaker panel. These include, but may not be limited to, Cirqus Voltaire, Black Rose, Party Zone, Dracula and Dr. Who."

Has anyone tried?

I'd rather not be the first.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback... especially the picture...

Still want a version so I can do scanlines or upscaled display. Probably won't happen, but does anyone have the actual dimensions of the SIGMA Color DMD?

Doesn't look like there is a lot of space at the top, but there isn't "no" space.

Course --- the bottom looks even tighter...

Just wondering.

Thanks!

FWIW I've been bugging Randy at Color DMD about this. He's pretty sure the current SIGMA version of Color DMD will not work with Black Rose:

"Lee,

At the present time it will not work. Even if you removed lamps and mounted it higher on the backbox door and had enough depth to accommodate the LCD and the circuit board, the screen position on the LCD would still not be correct.

That's not to say it can't be figured out at some point in the future, but it's a low priority now compared to other projects.

Randy. "
