Can you make some MM dmd's. Why such a delay?

All good news. Well done!

Have there been any changes to the code and animations of the TAF ColorDMD since CAX?

I am ready for my MM - thanks.

Have one in my AFM - fantastic! Highly recommended!

I am wondering why you guys are not taking preorders with money up front for the first run of TAF?

Seems like with the past 2 releases you have had lots of disgruntled fans that have anxiously awaited the release and then just been too slow to buy before they sell out (we all know they go quick!). I have also seen a few of your DMDs get flipped for a profit on the secondary market and I would guess that the flippers will be out in full force for the TAF release >> that likely translates to more PO'd fans.

I am sure many would happily pay up front for a secured spot in the October release...

What is planned after TAF??

Wouldn't Doing a order end the same way. Second preorder starts they run out of them and people still left out. Flippers can still do the same thing.

Are recent Sterns possible with the setup used?

Is the dev kit out? I'm interested in working with that

Would it be possible to have a color DMD that is generic that the user could select a single color to have a customizable look to their games? For example, a lot of people would like to have an affordable blue DMD for TRON and Avatar.
If ColorDMd is selling these intensive programmed DMD's for $400, can't you provide the generic setup without the programming and just selectable mono colors for around $250?

I think thats a fabulous idea!

I was making the assumption that they could make production better fit demand if they had a preorder list with payment up front (more $ to work with plus a better idea of # desired). Even if they have to leak them out at 200 per batch, people will be less likely to feel the need to pay a flipper if they know they will get one in run #X...

Looking foward to seeing it. I don't like the fit of this one as much as the others, but it could turn out a winner.

If I had to guess, TZ, and MB would make most sense. Nice if CFTBL was done

If I am allowed, I am happy to assist with developer code for WhoDunnit or FT. I understand that they are less likely titles to get the treatment unless it is through voulenteer manhours.

I think a ColorDMD would look fantastic in WH20, MB, TOTAN, and TZ.

I think they'd all make sense from a business standpoint, too. Each game either was made in large enough numbers or has such a high value that there is a certain amount of "guaranteed" sales, if they decided to do a run for any of these pins. The higher value pins, people buy the ColorDMD because they usually add a lot of mods and the ColorDMD adds that extra little sizzle to the pin. The other, more common pins, there's just so many of them out there that the percentage of owners that would actually buy the ColorDMD's translates into a number that makes it financially feasible to do.

Can't you just imagine the sunset scene in TOTAN after you save the princess in full color? That would be worth it alone!

Can someone snap a video of TAF colorDMD and post please! Super excited for this!

They should have it on their website....

Here it is. Just what we've been searching for!

Looks awesome. My aunt has a TAF (man do I wish we got along!) and I forwarded her your link. Maybe I'll get to see one someday!

Thanks- await on their website, just thought it would be cool to see it in action...also would like to see how they pulled off the 'thing' lights below the DMD.

await = saw

Phone typing

I'm here at PPE now. Color DMD's look as great as ever and it's nice seeing people's reaction to it that have never seen it before.

I heard a guy outside on his cell talking to someone saying... "...imagine playing MM in color dude!!"

I saw a couple errors whilst I was playing it. The first was during the T-H-I-N-G bonus where Thing walks across the screen. The animation was completely white until the last 20% or so, then it went full color. A couple of other animations also had the color flicker from white to colored as they started, but I can't remember which ones they were, at the moment. Later on, in the Tunnel Hunt mode, when the Tunnel Hunt screen first came up, the screen went all funky and started freaking out. It was only for a couple seconds, but it still did it.

Then, after a while(on my second ball) the game just reset. The odd thing was that the DMD stayed on the whole time even though the playfield went dark and nothing else was on or working. I doubt the ColorDMD caused it, but it still happened.

I still find it hilarious that with TAF being the pin with the highest production numbers in the last few decades, there was only one at each of the west coast pinball shows: PAGG, CAX, and PPE! Oh, we had FOUR Taxi's at PPE and plenty of duplicates of many other titles, but only ONE TAF. I'm beginning to think many op's just threw theirs out when they were done with them and that they're actually kind of scarce.........no that can't be it.

Any thoughts of using Kickstarter to bootstrap future releases?

Can I put a request in for SM!!

Looks good. I would consider getting one for my TAF.

I will definitely be getting one for my TAF. If I'm fast enough that is...

I have only been to the website like 10 times trying to pay for one.

Yeah... what he said.

That is a great idea.

Nope, because these aren't DMD's, they are LCD's which require programing to replicate each and every frame.

Actually, they already have that feature. Check the website under FAQ.

It says in their website that the LCD "can be made" to work with any game. But it requires the programming first. Plug it into Tron and see what happens...

ColorDMD LCD displays can be put in a single-color mode that works with any game, but only the programmed full-color sequences will work with currently supported games, obviously.

I stand corrected then. Sounds cool

Hope they make one for sttng or one of the early sterns like TSPP or lotr
