Bram Stoker's Dracula
Williams, 1993In anticipation of Color DMD releasing a color ROM for Dracula,:
I have already installed my LCD unit and purchased my BSD clear speaker panel:
My question is how will I/we be able to utilize the LOVE NEVER DIES flashers? There is simply not enough room for the flasher board with the Color DMD/LCD installed. The LCD does cover that area. Any way to get the LCD to flash in the appropriate spots? Just wondering if anyone has any insight...
Thanks,
Rob Bell

On newer brackets we added a third set of mounting holes (for Stern metal speaker panels). It might be possible to use the added set of mounting holes to raise the height of the LCD screen to accommodate the flashers.
The SIGMA 3.x ROM includes a vertical adjustment so you can reposition the graphics back where they belong.

So when's it coming? 
If you can somehow summon user RudeDogg1 to this thread he sussed the Love Never Dies flasher issue on the colourDMD, I sold him mine so he put a spare sigma he had into it and told me with a bit of fiddling he got the flashers to work on the monitor. I have no idea how though so he would need to explain.
Quoted from bigd1979:From what ive seen it has already for a nice playfield and cab
Agreed. Those are a bit more rare (DRACULA inserts and planking at right orbital are nearly universal even on SP PFs).
You should be able to raise the color DMD a little at the bottom and put that extra light board in at an angle, it's what I did for my Doctor Who to have the doctors still light up. I think people have done similar things for Addams Family.
Quoted from MrBellMan:I think it will be awesome once colorized. Some of the graphics are intense and once completed you should see things you probably didn't even know existed.
Just make sure you get one of the clear speaker panels
where would one find the clear panel if he would want to.

Nope, I didn't do near that much work, I looked at that, but then followed this tips in this thread:

Basically you can mount the DMD high (then use the controls to move the image down) and squeeze it in at the bottom. I didn't need to remount the connector, but I did use a little electrical tape to protect the board connections from ever touching the metal DMD frame. This method is completely reversible and easy to do, but does mean you have to lift out the lower panel to open the rest of the backbox to access the boards.
Quoted from msj2222:That looks as as if it has the red tint in the window???
Its a removable gel
yeah I think even simple things like the blood dripping will look cool since the rest wont be shaded red
but I'm excited to see the video mode and for some reason the castle in the credits could look good if colored well
Quoted from PoMC:I have ColorDMDs in my Shadow and Judge Dredd, so I'll certainly try it out in Dracula. But don't see me swapping either permanently to Dracula because JD and TS have terrific animations in color.
Why swap just buy another ? Im sure bsd will look amazing as it has some of the best dots of any wpc title . Cant wait
Judge Dredd I could consider swapping since even though the color animations look fantastic, the game plays too fast to even see them.
Looking forward to BSD color DMD!
Bump.. let's do this BSD
Quoted from TigerLaw:Is this release imminate or are we just hoping?
I'm just trying to will it into existence.
