COLORDMD ANNOUNCES GAME 60!

ColorDMD Displays is excited to announce support for it's 60th title, Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends!  The display for R&B utilizes ColorDMD's RGB LED panels, which easily replace the monochromatic plasma displays that shipped with the original game.  R&B will be the ninth new title released in 2017, and the second release for developer Jeff Collins!

Jeff previously delivered ColorDMD support for Pirates of the Caribbean pinball machines.  In truth, he actually started work on R&B prior to Pirates, but unfortunately the project was put on hold when we could not find a backbox mounting solution for the original ColorDMD LCD display.  With the introduction of the company's new smaller LED panels late last year, Jeff was able to return to and complete R&B!

Jeff resides in Prairie Village, Kansas with his wife Kathy.  Their daughter Maddie attends Kansas State University and, and son Max will complete high school this year.  A programmer and avid pinball enthusiast, Jeff loves to share his collection of over 60 machines! Recently he and Kathy held a fundraiser for the American Heart Association and raised $12,000 in one night!

The newly designed ColorDMD LED pinball display contains 128x32 individual RGB LEDs.  The compact design is similar in size to a conventional DMD and allows easy installation in Data East games.  All ColorDMD LED displays ship with the factory installed SIGMA ROM that supports WPC, WPC95, SAM, Whitestar, and SPIKE platforms. Multicolor operation is enabled through download and installation of a game-specific color ROM file, available from our site. ROMs can be changed at any time, allowing use with other supported LED titles.

Displays are shipping now from our store site.  The color ROM for R&B pinball machines is targeted for release by Friday, July 14!  Watch our site and Facebook page for upcoming previews from R&B, as well as future product updates and releases! For more information, please visit us at www.colordmd.com.

What is needed to replace the monochromatic display with a ColorDMD LED for R&B? Just the LED display or would I also need a cable kit and mounting bracket?

Everything needed for installation is included with the ColorDMD LED display. Additionally, hardware installation instructions can be viewed on the SUPPORT page of our site.

Wow that looks great! Excellent work. DE has some cool dots and colordmd ROCKS!!!

#12 6 years ago

WooHoo! This makes me incredibly happy!

#13 6 years ago

I always thought RAB would be a great title for this, just because of the cartoon nature of the theme! Glad to see it's come to fruition!

#14 6 years ago

Omg. I am so excited! I litetally just got an Rocky & Bullwinkle from SFGE in ATL. Great game with great colors that will look even better with color DMD.

Uber excited. Now I need to get off my butt and put mine back together and repin all the connectors. Then order this. Maybe watch for some sale. Thanks for this one. The cartoon titles, especially, scream for color.

#19 6 years ago

I've seen this one in person and the LED display suits this game as well as any game in my opinion. And the colorizing is excellent as can be seen in the images and video.

There was an error in the download link on the site, and was pointing to the Apollo13 ROM. The link has been fixed.

After installing firmware, please make sure the COLORDMD INFO screen indicates the correct version: RAB 3.0

#22 6 years ago

Here are a few 'before and after' screen shots, it looks even better on the LED display in the game.

Maybe this sounds stupid, but I am not seeing an easy 12/5 power connector to tap into. Am I missing something?

#24 6 years ago

Look at the install instructions on the ColorDmd site, it comes with a Data East power adapter.

When you order a ColorDMD for Bullwinkle, you will get an adapter like this. It goes in the upper left corner.

Apparently I clicked whitestar stern instead of whitestar Data East when downloading the instructions. Probably won't get to it until after pinburgh now but excited to get this setup.
