    I think its pretty crazy.. the video on AFM looks insane!!

    #3 12 years ago

    looks great. Do they have to customize them for each pin or does "one size fit all"

    #4 12 years ago

    to much deja vu on this color dmd. lets see a set price and see them in production

    #6 12 years ago

    I heard from my friend that "one size fits all" that he built some program that takes the info and decodes it to a color display... I could be wrong though as it could be game specific...

    Quoted from Donnyman:

    I will find out how much he wants for them and when they will be available and let u guys know..

    Looks like many of these questions were answered at PPE ...

    Quoted from pinmike:

    Kinda pricey but i'm sure its worth it.

    I played it today...
    Pretty much AWESOME!
    Very easy on the eyes too...
    The wallet, not so much.
    I would say MB, MM and TOTAN, would be no-brainers for this technology.

    #13 12 years ago

    agreed from what i've seen. that would complete the legacy of monsters of rock!

    Oh Man! I bet that was exciting NP

    #15 12 years ago

    399 per pin ouch! To think that's what i spent on my first pin. Course that was right after the pilgrims came off the mayflower.

    I ws thinking SM, LOTR, CV, shadow and Tron would look real cool too. Between this and subwoofers there goes the college funds.

    AFM 1st then MM he is doing 2nd then TAF 3rd is what he is doing for color DMD

    Great choices. Thanks for the knowledge.

    I can't wait for them to come out with others as well! It sure lucked pretty sweet in AFM. It is definitely pricey but a great mod if you can afford it.

    #20 12 years ago

    I would love to have one for LOTR...
    But a part of me would miss the orange.
    Hopefully, if they do decide to code one up, they leave the blood in on the decapitations.
    Not like the Mortal Kombat "sweat-swap", ala SNES.
    That would be lame.

    #21 12 years ago

    I want one for STTNG

    #22 12 years ago

    Holy Crap That color DMD is groovy.I want one.It looks very game specific.To bad.At 400.00$ I would like to swap it out and try it on specific Pinball machines in my collection to see if I liked It on different machines before ordering more than one. Any how I would still like one for my ATTACK from MARS !!!

    #23 12 years ago

    I haz a want! I think Mario would look way cooler in color!

    #24 12 years ago

    Agreed. It would really benefit from it.

    #25 12 years ago

    It would be cool if the let the pinball community help out with the coding, kinda like what http://www.classicplayfields.com/ does with their "Artists" who design the plastics and playfields.

    #26 12 years ago

    I got a chance to play the color DMD AFM today and holy effin' crap, it's the most impressive mod I've seen on any pin ever. It absolutely transforms the game. It's kinda crazy money but if I had an AFM, I'd have to plunk the $399.

    #27 12 years ago

    If it comes out for my TOTAN, Then I will put my rare Orange LED DMD on ebay to cut some losses

    Nevermind, I guess it's not that rare http://pinballcontrollers.com/index.php/products/led-dmds

    I heard you "code" the colors yourself. (software included) Well that is if no one has done it for us yet. However, something tells me I'll be coding for SMB:MW Happily I might add!

    Sounds like it could be fun. I'll bet that would open up the possibility of sharing color files with others... So you could dowload someone else's if they did it better.

    Though, I would hope it was cheaper than $400 if you have to do all the work yourself.

    Maybe the company will just sell the DMD and make all the software available on their website.

    yeah 400$ is a big chunk of change AND we get to do the work.... However I can think of a few pins that will be done week one by fans alone. Lets see TZ, TAF, DM!! Oooo the list!
