Really great job guys - looks fantastic on my machine. I already noticed a few details in the animation that I never did before due to the color making things really pop.

I was really surprised how lackluster the standard dots seemed in color. Way too much black space I guess. The XL dots are definitely better, but I highly recommend scan lines. It's a nice subtle effect that works great with the animation style on ACDC. You get the nice crisp letters and numbers of hi rez, but it doesn't seem to over-smooth all the artwork in the same way.

While I totally agree with what Aurich and Rarehero are saying, I think AC/DC looks great using the scanline option - I recommend trying it. It's a really nice middle ground between high res and dots.

Do SAM games have more shades of color than B/W ones? This is my first ColorDMD -- I've only seen others at shows. Maybe that's what helps.

Scanline looks fantastic on everything except the live/FMV Angus in the match sequence (when he holds his hand up to his ear) -- which is totally understandable because it's not hand-drawn at the native resolution like everything else. The cartoon versions of the characters (e.g. when pulling the train whistle or blowing the TNT) look great.

P.S. this is why I'm excited to see games like Star Trek and Metallica on ColorDMD, but I don't think games like Tron or Iron Man with a lot of FMV will end up looking very good (at least not those animations).
