Quoted from epthegeek:Would you really buy a $350 display for a slugfest? (Serious question)
4 so far!!
I hope everyone realizes that this would be a LED only type machine. From what I see, the ColorDMD board would have to be moved from the back of the display and be mounted somewhere else on the game as well.
It is a similar situation as Gilligan's Island, Black Rose and Party Zone. Though, there is not a lamp board to move the ColorDMD board to the backside of so another place will need to be found to mount it to.

I tested a LCD out with the Slugfest and snapped these pictures knowing the LCD will not fit. I just wanted to see how the display would look.

I know epthegeek has worked on some tough titles, so this is an afternoon for him. Not sure if he would do it without having a game in reach so he could test it.
Plus someone needs to see if the LED display will fit. I currently don't have a spare LED display to try out. Once a display goes in a game, it stays.

Who has test fitted the LED display in Slugfest? I am not quite sure it will fit. Well, at least not without moving the ColorDMD board elsewhere. Still the thinkness of the whole assembly has me worried that it may not.
Quoted from Duvall:It fits. I have an LED in mine. The board does need to be detached from the display just like GI and BR.
That is good news. Can you show us a picture where you mounted the board?

Quoted from TwoHeartedMale:looks great, but can we do a multi color option? also, can someone post a link to where i can get the led shown above?
All ColorDMD displays ship as a Sigma display, which you can buy now. Full color is not available yet. It would just be a downloadable multi-color ROM you have to load once it is released, just like any other multi-color ROM release. Thing about the Sigma display is that you can at anytime change the single color of the display at your choosing.
