I have had a Color DMD is my STLE for a year now patiently waiting. Please Randy. STLE
Any chance of Godzilla getting color treatment? Looks like it would fit no problem.
I know it is a lower production run, but what a great set of animations.

Isn't sigma green pretty much all you'd need?

Not doing any other titles where I don't have the machine locally. Too much bother.

If you want to borrow it, I am happy to bring it over. Just LMK.
Just did a full tear down and rebuild and plays like a champ!

Maybe eventually. I have to finish the current burden first.

I purchased a ColorDMD for an older Williams game but haven't put it in yet. Could I use it in my Star Trek Pro instead?

I thought there was an issue with fitting the ColorDMD units into the Sega marquis-style backboxes.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Correction....any game without a ColorDMD is a crime and is boring!!
I agree Met is one of the best...We need a ColorDMD top 25 or something solely rating the ColorDMD.

Yes,
But you would need the proper cables and clear shield.

Quoted from Kenz:I'm about to buy my first Colour DMD but can't decide on LCD or LED. The machines it will go into are TZ, CFTBL or STTNG.
Can anyone advise?
It really is all about personal preference, for STTNG I highly recommend the LCD though, it looks great is HiRes mode and although I don't have either of the other two I think they would be better in LCD than LED based on the type of graphics and animations they have. CFTBL may be better served with a LED though if you want more vibrant greens and to keep some of the nostalgic look. Can't go wrong either way.
Quoted from TopMoose:I thought there was an issue with fitting the ColorDMD units into the Sega marquis-style backboxes.
Godzilla is same as Southpark as far as I can tell???
Should be zero issue.

keep me posted
Quoted from Beebl:I agree Met is one of the best...We need a ColorDMD top 25 or something solely rating the ColorDMD.
I thought about making a thread about that but thought it would be weird from someone involved. Then also how would you rate it? Based on the original animations, the coloring job or a combination of the two?
Aw...wth...

Thank you!

My mistake - I thought it had one of those rounded "showcase" translites like Space Jam or Starship Troopers. My understanding is that there's a low support strut that gets in the way of ColorDMD's screens.

But now there are the LED displays that should fit fine in those games.
We are officially at one month since Avatar was announced as the latest to get color. Wow. I sure am needing a color fix again. Hoping for some new hints this week.
Quoted from Mbecker:Anyone rooting for jy? Seems like a fun one to color, gotta be someone working on it..
I've been hoping for Junk Yard since the start of this thread! It's an underrated game with great animations and I think it's slowly rising in popularity. The owners thread has been getting a lot of activity lately.
Quoted from Mbecker:Anyone rooting for jy? Seems like a fun one to color, gotta be someone working on it..
+1 for JY
Quoted from dmbjunky:It would be neat to color all of those items you collect in JY.
I'm most looking forward to the fireworks, magic bus and video mode intros in color.
Quoted from Mbecker:Anyone rooting for jy? Seems like a fun one to color, gotta be someone working on it..
Agree it would be great to see a JY.
Would be an amazing 2017 to see The Walking Dead and Star Trek! Both seem like their code is done.....Perhaps just 1 more bug update, otherwise done.......
Quoted from thunderking50:Walking Dead Color dmd Will be amazing
I think it'd look great in black and white, with just the occasional splash of red for the blood - similar to the playfield artwork - rather than in full multi colour

This is actually kind of an interesting concept. Not sure most would agree with you, but it's an interesting idea.
Quoted from epthegeek:This is actually kind of an interesting concept. Not sure most would agree with you, but it's an interesting idea.
I think it would be a cool concept for a single mode, but not for all gameplay. For example, the TV show used some black and white scenes in the Season 6 premiere, but not for the entire episode.

Quoted from Haymaker:Pinball magic's code is done... lets get some Capcom lovin!
You can already do black and white just put a screen in now and set the color to white. Not sure it would be worth adding just red for blood.
I have one in my twd with smoothing on. Looks great. I now can't play one with regular dots.
HOORAY! First clue of the new year!
Obvious first impressions: Harley Davidson, Nascar, Mustang, Corvette, No Fear, Viper Night Drivin', Indy 500
Lateral thinking: Wheel of Fortune, Transformers
Pure wishful thinking: Junk Yard (which features a skidding bus animation)
Quoted from JimB:Another stretch but here's Star Trek 'Arena'
Man I was trying to find a way to link Star Trek to it - nice job!
