Edit: Video Preview Added!
ColorDMD is excited to announce that Star Trek is the 66th game to be supported by the ColorDMD multicolor display platform. With more than 21 responsive, animated modes, Star Trek is the most complex game we have completed and required a team effort. Thank you to Chris Enright, Dave Timmer, and Eric Priepke for their outstanding work on this title!
Star Trek is shipping now from our store site (shop.colordmd.com) and through our distributors. The game is being previewed at Chicago Pinball Expo this week and the color ROM is targeted for release on October13!
STAR TREK ROM RELEASE
The color ROM to support Star Trek pinball machines has been released and is now available for download from our firmware SUPPORT page. http://www.colordmd.com/support_firmware.html
Thanks again to the team for their devotion to getting this one completed! It has been a long journey!
Displays are available now for immediate shipping from our store site and through distributors.
Quoted from tatanka1961:So great that Star Trek is finally released. I installed it today using a colorDMD from another machine) and It is STUNNING !!!
It really brings my STLE to life. Definitely the best MOD for any machine!
So this is gonna cost me several hundred € again as I don't want to go back to a regular DMD in my STTNG...
I have a question for Randy though
Dmod: On your site, you say that both the LED and LCD versions now use the same 'chroma' board. Does this mean, that when I buy the LED version, I can still use the chroma board to drive an lcd panel (in case I don't like the LED display)?
The circuit board is the same but populated and programmed differently for LCD and LED.
Quoted from AndreBu:Hi Randy thanks!
But i animations are now in Black & White. I installed the File at the Rev. 1.3 Board and i have a Premium one. I hope you can fixed it? It´s Friday the 13
Email sent.
Quoted from MrSanRamon:Yes I have the same issue... anyone have a fix.

Have not heard this issue before for Stern games, and normally only an issue on WPC games with a dirty flipper opto.
The extra load of the display will cause a small drop in the 12V unregulated supply output. Normally not an issue, but if a flipper opto is dirty and already operating near threshold, the small voltage drop can result in a noticeable difference. Cleaning the opto resolves the issue.
On a Stern game, this is unusual. Does unplugging the display increase the strength of the flippers? If you measure the 12V unregulated supply with a DMM, do you see a significant difference in voltage when the display is connected/disconnected?
Quoted from PlayPin:Thanks. I found the LED demo of Star Trek but not one with the LCD. I really love the way the LCD does the scores and words. However when I see animations sometimes they look really bad to me. It seems like other animations look ok or good. I prefer not to have the pixel look of dots. However I am beginning to think the animations can't be done right on LCD. I guess I like LCD and LED for different things and I need to decide on one. I was hoping that seeing the video of the LCD could help me decide. I wonder why they used such a huge LCD screen? Does the color LED have the problem that the stock dmd's have with uneven columns and rows? This is easiest to see when all of them are on. Thanks again!
The Star Trek preview video was filmed using an LCD in DOTXL mode.
Quoted from PlayPin:Is there demo videos for these two games showing the upscaling mode that fills the space between the dot's? One more question: Does the color LED mount flush with speaker panel in both games? I understand the LCD has to be set back on STLE. Seems like this would affect visibility of display info. when standing back and to one side?
The LED sits the same distance from the display shield as the factory display. LCD sits back behind the threaded posts but does not have a significant impact on visibility.
Don't recall seeing posted videos of upscaling for those specific games. Back when we announced upscaling, there was one still frame posted.
