Are we getting any hints before expo?
Quoted from Sinestro:ColorDMD would definitely have to license the ROMS for that, then re-draw the dots at a higher bit rate. Same as MMR.
This could be one of the options they are considering for the future.
I wonder what it take to do the dots for a new game.
Official spike support would be a welcome announcement. Along with a title or two to show off in brilliant color
Quoted from PinMonk:For original themes, would they? A LOT of Bally/Williams art for playfields, backglasses, etc was never registered.
You don't have to register something in order to have a copyright. It just makes it easier to prove.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Maybe it's not the wording but the background picture we should be looking at.
so, it's going to be a colordmd for colordmd? maybe it's an upgrade to allow all of the first gen titles to look as good as some of the more recent b/w stuff
or better yet, maybe colordmd is releasing their dev kit into the wild and allowing everyone to custom colorize their games
Quoted from MustangPaul:Maybe it's not the wording but the background picture we should be looking at.
When has it not been?
Edit: haha, I quoted the wrong post. Meant to do this one:
Quoted from yzfguy:As much as I want this to be Ghostbusters, I have a feeling it's a cruel, misleading hint!
Quoted from DCFAN:We Came....WC ...World Cup 94
Unfortunately, I think you are right.
Quoted from Malenko:Sweet, I was already working on that for pin2dmd so I'd love to see how it turned out on colordmd
Good luck with the fireworks on that knockoff stuff.
Quoted from epthegeek:Good luck with the fireworks on that knockoff stuff.
Lets not get side tracked and start slinging mud for no reason. I am genuinely interested in the release.
"We came, we saw, he died," she joked when told of news reports of Qaddafi's death by an aide in between formal interviews. Hillary Clinton
Anything pinball we can take from that? He's Dead Jim? Star Trek?
the first letters from 'we saw' backwards is "SW"
obviously the colorDMD guys have figured out how to better colorize the new stern LED panel games and star wars is going to be the first one!

No reason? You came into a ColorDMD thread talking about another product.

wow. egos get so easily bruised here. I'll bet it wouldn't have gone any further had epthegeek not used the word "knockoff" in his comment
just like when the whole smartdmd vs. colordmd "discussion" was going on, all of the colordmd artists were quick to come in and sh*t on everyone else's efforts (and in mike's thread as well no less
WCS is a title that a lot of people have been waiting for, and for someone to show what they were able to accomplish (for a title that still hasn't been announced), but curious to see what the colordmd artists bring to the table isn't what I would call downplaying or dissing the colordmd product
the colordmd artists have done some wonderful colorizations but need to grow some thicker skin and shrug off the whole "holier than thou" attitude
now, let's get back on topic
edit:
corrected the possessive typo in "egos"

There is no apostrophe in "egos"
Quoted from yzfguy:No. No spike support yet.
There's spike "support" - you can put a sigma display in a spike game. There are no games colored yet for Spike, but only because they're not done yet, not because they couldn't be.

JM, I thought we were over this but if not we can hug it out again over a beer at Expo.

I don't remember coming in and sh1tt1ng on anyone's efforts. I do know that it was more than just colordmd artists that were though so careful with the 32 pixel brush there
I'm still just amazed at the number of colorized games that are now done just a few years after I started coloring DW. Looking forward to this next release though, even if it isn't mine

Correct...sort of, but you'll need to buy the cables you need to install it from a 3rd party vendor.
Quoted from Taxman:No reason? You came into a ColorDMD thread talking about another product.
I mentioned I was also coloring it for the other Dmd with color to give context as to why I'm excited. I'm not part of this "mines better yours sucks" crowd. We both did T2 , colordmd did it better and you did a great job with it. Why can't I be excited to see how someone else colored a game I was working on too?
I wasn't being coy or faceteous, I am sincerely excited to see the work, I only posted WHY I was excited. I didn't post any links to threads or anything else so I never thought it'd be a big deal. So yes, he is slinging mud for no reason .

yep I have pink dots with a CDMD in my GB
Right..... No multicolor support for spike yet. Believe me, I want there to be... GB is my only game without a colordmd. (except space Odyssey ). I can't wait for GB to come to life in color.
Quoted from tp:Correct...sort of, but you'll need to buy the cables you need to install it from a 3rd party vendor.
I made an adapter. It was 2 wires and 2 connectors. Took 5 minutes
