PinB did you get it working?

I just installed this and WOW! Great job!

Now I can’t wait for Ghost Busters to get the Color DMD treatment.

Both “Battle for the Wall” and “Winter is Coming” with ColorDMD is a remarkable experience for any Game of Thrones machine. So many new insights with these colors. 4903CDC8-565B-43E7-AEA2-811FC4BABAB7 (resized).jpegE438D578-CBB0-4E1E-B8B7-0C87A2AE5A06 (resized).jpeg

Thanks ColorDMD for fast shipping and a great product. I must say I was hesitant in the past to purchase because of the cost, but after seeing the product and all that must go into it, I now understand. This is a must for this game. Excellent job!

Yes, I’m up & running! (LED on GOT LE) Reseated connectors & all is good now. Game looks awesome. ColorDMD rules. Buy all their stuff!

Led looks great too hmm...

Glad you guys are liking it! Just wanted to mention/thank a few folks for helping me get to the finish line on this one.

Randy for putting up with all my feature requests and test compiles. Every time I went over the memory limit he had to figure out a way to make it fit. Hah. He won, dang it. He put a lot of work into rewriting the engine to handle some of the more complex scenes and compression to make the large amount of frames fit.

Chris for putting together a fantastic well choreographed video and doing the yucky manual work. Bleh.

debaser helped me find scenes and identify characters!

Underspin 's wife, Shannon helped me find scenes, characters and did a lot of work with finding the frames for most of Arya's kill list. Wow!

The play testers as mentioned previously. Squishing bugs is fun!!

My friend David for pushing me to take the long way on coloring some things. And helping with picking colors

Glad this one is done. Whew!!

It's amazing to see scenes as brand new to the game.

Thanks!

Fabulous work! I don't have my colordmd yet for GoT, but maybe sometime in January. I'm almost tempted to pull my new chroma display out of my IMVE, but I'm just making more work for myself.

Rob

Installed and looking great! I'm usually a Hi Res guy but I'll admit dotsxl really clarifies the movie scenes well. There's images that I could never make out before that look awesome now. Great work guys!

For games with video clips, dots or dotsXL is the only way to go, IMHO. All the other modes look like crap in comparison.

Sure! Just installed the LED display this morning - it is MIND BLOWING! Love it. Video link below

Thanks, looks mighty good! I think I'll go for the LED-version myself as well!

Here’s a longer video (<20min) of a 4 player game with my ColorDMD in scan mode. It also shows my new interactive cabinet lights.

My colors seem a bit washed out. I have it on dotsxl contrast 4-5 and backlight at seven. I also have the LCD version but I could swap it out for a LED I have in walking dead. Is the LED the way to go because we are dealing with movie clip animations? Also is the status supposed to be all yellow with no color? Either way much better than the original.

I own a lot of color dmds,all lcd so I can't speek of led displays but this game has truly been transformed,I am really enjoying what I could never see before,I was debating to do game of thrones because of my disappointment with Spider-Man but wow just fantastic.,good job guys

Try back light at 9

Eric did a great job with spiderman! GoT has the advantage of more dots per each video frame. 88x32 for Spiderman, 128x32 for GoT, and I think 4 more shades per dot.

For those of you debating between the LCD and LED display, here's my take on it. I personally prefer the look of the LCD, and this is the route I choose to go with all my games. The LED is brighter, but the images look nicer to me on the LCD. The dots on the LCD have an almost painterly quality to them, as opposed to the harsher points of light you get with the LED. You also have the added advantage of the different modes with the LCD. DotsXL is awesome for a game like this with a lot of video clips.

The 64Mb chip is obsolete and NLA from a number of places already. If ColorDMD is already running out of memory and having to make color/shade concessions, why not use the 128Mb chip? Will the controller only map out 64Mb of address space? It's literally only like $2-3 more for the 128Mb chip in onsie-twosie quantity, and probably much less by the hundreds. I want KISS to be concession free with plenty of memory for shading the live video!

Some more gameplay footage. I’m still running scan mode, I like the look of it.

The source (display) on Spider-Man is trash. Compressed, contrast blown out. It only gets so good with color. Turning down the contrast value in the Colordmd helps fix some of the crap.

No concessions were made. Compression was rewritten ( twice) to fit more data in the same space.

On GoT some of the anti-aliasing on edges of characters on certain of the very dark or very light scenes is abrupt, so what I was trying to say I guess is with a 128Mb chip there could be more graduations of color on the edges of things on the live video to help it look more natural. Given that the cost difference is only a couple bucks between the 64Mb and the 128Mb, seems like a good, relatively cheap "future-proofing" trade.

Yeah, GoT has some of that too, which leads to some of the hard edges and colored edges. Can't color black dots. They really jacked up the contrast on somethings. Did the best I could.

I can’t get over how much more I enjoy my game now. It JUST MAKES SENSE. For example the Lannister house quest is called Save Marcella. The 1st shot up the ramp plays the clip when in the tv show Jamie and Bronn see Tyrell solders coming. The 2nd shot up the ramp is Jamie hiding in the grass. The 3rd shot plays the clip of the solders confronting Jamie and Bronn. Then you start the quest if you choose to.

House Stark, 1st shot, Arya gets her sword. 2nd shot, she’s training in kings landing. 3rd shot, she’s heading to bravos to become a faceless man. Then the quest starts and she calls out her hit list.

The colour video is so much easier to make out. It adds so much to the cohesion of the game.

Well done.

Hey all. So, I just tried installing the ColorDMD in my GoT. Started off with the Sigma rom, then installed the GoT ROM. Went into my settings, changed things to my liking (yes it showed GoT 3.0), re-entered my Key, saved and exited, blank screen. As soon as I press any of the menu buttons, menu pops right up, no issues.

Any suggestions??

Maybe you installed the wrong ROM. There is colordmd and chroma. Check your board and see which one you have, then download the appropriate rom.

Disregard.....just tried a fresh install and all seems good.

Received my ColorDMD, installed no problem.

I set all my games at Scan, and use the low contrast, high brightness settings posted in this thread.

I checked my older colordmds, and they were set the opposite (just from my lack of understanding) so everything looks better now. Thanks to those that posted about this.

So, will we ever see KISS get the color treatment?

Will we ever see KISS get finished code is the better question.

Call me crazy, I really enjoy the game as it is.

I like the game as well, but it's ridiculous that the code is still incomplete after all this time.

No source videos, so it's impossible at this time to colorize the video segments.

Those videos have to be on some concert DVD or something somewhere.

I don't own this game, but WOW great job. This really looks great and hats off to everyone that worked on these dots.

A big needle in the haystack I think!

Rob

At least a final update is on the way. The code has so much promise as it is better than tons of games already so anything that makes it better, will be nice.

Will be a shame if KISS doesn't get done.

I dream of finished code and a color DMD - might then be my favorite game of all time.

Is there a way to look on the ColorDMD and tell if it can handle this rom? Can't recall if I have the newer one or not...

Check the size of the memory chip on the circuit board. I think it's at position U4 (has 8 legs, 4x2). It can be upgraded, and the chip is a few bucks, but it's surface mount, so it's not super easy.

GOT looks fantastic.... Thank you color DMD. Will you be releasing another title first quarter 2018? If so who ya gonna call?

Man, winter has come multiball just got 10X better with color dmd. I’ve owned GOT for 2 years and never saw Jon Snow slay the white walker on the display til now. Oh and the dragons during all 3 Targaryan modes, balls! This colorization of GOT is amazing!

Glad you're enjoying it. Hearing this keeps me motivated for the next

And after a year and a half, I can finally put my backglass back in lol.

I finally received my ColorDMD LCD today but I cant install it properly. There are no hex extenders and there is no plastic guard inside the box.
Does it supposed to come with it? I especially ordered the GOT version to make sure that I could mount it. Darn.

Go to a glass shop with the red plastic piece and have them cut you a clear one. It will probably cost $10.

For the standoffs, go to a computer store and ask for 8 of the brass standoffs used to mount computer motherboards. Those will work.

Once you have this all collected, it goes like this.. Clear plastic down, black spacers, original nuts, brass standoffs (4), lcd panel, 4 more brass standoffs to hold the lcd in place. Do not overtighten the last 4 standoffs, snug.

Rob

Yes Mine came with all of that. I think the plastic protector was under the bottom piece of foam. Extenders were with the rest of the hardware.

Edit: See the post below. I did order the $24 kit.

Did you select the $24 add-on for the shield and the extenders when you bought the ColorDMD?
