Quoted from epthegeek: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.
yep I have pink dots with a CDMD in my GB
As much as I want it to be GB I think it's Mustang. The washing machine looks vaguely like a mustang rim and there are 64 points in the shapes. 64 being the first year mustangs (not model year but calendar year) and the ramps on the machine being made for 1/64 scale models
Quoted from J85M:I’m looking at my first colourdmd purchase, what’s the main reason the lcd seems to popular? From the last couple of posts alone everyone is buying lcd over led.
Could a few of you guys with plenty of colourdmds chime in and give me an idea which way to go, I’m not really interested in the hi res where it merges the dots together, I like my dots to look like dots. thanks in advance.
The LED will fit easier in GB and newer sterns but the dot's tend to be brighter (almost too bright) and don't have the extensive options of the LCD. Some of the dot patterns on the LCD can really change the way the image renders and in some cases render it almost like animation rather than dots.
Just my .02
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Have a question regarding using a ColorDMD (LCD) that I purchased for a Williams game over a year ago (Shadow) and would now like to use in Ghostbusters. Is the only extra item I need to purchase the 12V backbox power adapter?

Do I also need to purchase the 12v/5v Power Tap from either Mezel Mods or Pinball Life? ColorDMD is the option I take it that I need to select on the page if I need it?

Is this the correct cable if ordering from Pinball Life?

Sorry for so many questions, lol. Thank you.
You also need the clear plastic screen to replace the red one and the standoffs
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Thank you, didn't know that. Do you know which power adapter I would need? I see several of them and just want to be sure I order the correct one. The ColorDMD I have is around a year and a half old and originally purchased for a Williams game.
Sorry I don't I made my own connector. Takes about 3 minutes if you have the parts
Quoted from epotech:where did you connect to?
I don't have the machine open and I can't get to it but it's the little board next to the next to the power supply. In this pic it has the red lights on it. https://funwithbonus.com/wp-content/uploads/GarySternBackbox.jpg
I'll grab some pics in a couple hours.
Quoted from PinMonk:Haven't seen that one in the smudge mode. All the ones I've seen/tried it on look worse, so I always go with DOTSXL.
On LotR and BSD I think DOTSXL is the way to go. It definitely is on a machine by machine basis
Quoted from eharan:Does anyone know if Ghostbusters will require a Chroma version? I have had a ColorDMD in my GB for a few years but it is an older version (non-Chroma). Hoping that I don't need to replace the ColorDMD.
Thanks
Ed
This will help:
TL;DR; Chroma is easier

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's kiss for 2 reasons:
1. Paul Williams (in the pic with Kermit) wrote the song "We've only just begun" that was in the movie Detroit Rock City
2. "We've only just begun" and the second clue tie in to GB which was at the top of the list of titles they had a really hard time colorizing. Kiss being another one
The last ColorDMD post was not a clue. So point 2 may not make sense but #1 still applies
