I forgot about all that. The 4 color setting looks like crap and only one title ever got completed. Then memory issues completely stopped other titles and kit availability issues came around. Everyone thinks they are going to DIY and save money until they try it and find out how much work it is.

I think more ColorDMD titles were released in 2015 than any of us expected. The only real complaint is people want the game they own colored. And that is not really a complaint, it is a compliment.

I figured it was either the wrong thread or he was insane. So, I decided to not make eye contact an back away slowly in case of the later.

The TZ and the Shadow ColorDMD will be the "Exact Same" item in the box. Every single ColorDMD ships with the Sigma software installed and you download for free the game you bought it for. The reason for picking the game it to make sure the wire harness is for WPC or Stern. So the TZ you want to buy will be 100% the same as Shadow.

I have one in my TZ set to scan and when the color file comes out I will try it and see if it is better. But black and white scan is so cool as is.

So what I am saying is take that Shadow DMD and stick it in TZ right now!

Not a duplicate post. Just my girlfriend's dog jumped on the keyboard after the last post.

I'm just letting him know if he plans on buying one in the future for another WPC game to not bother selling and just keep it since it is not game dependent.

I brought hope

I disagee, unless you are running other mods. I own 14 ColorDMDs. Been buying since the first for AFM. Never need an external supply for the ColorDMD. I have 2 Widebodies that were colored IJ and TZ.

The only fuse I had blow was in Creech and it was for the 12v line. And it was fine with just the ColorDMD. But when I added the Mike D Creech Holo replacement it had to run an LCD monitor off the 12v also.

Its a ticket to ride the "Hurricane".

Is the code finished? A game cannot be colored properly if the graphics get changed. I remember the early code on TWD had the skill shot with a diagram of the 4 star roll-overs flashing in a sequence to maximize points. Next time I went to the machine after a code upgrade the whole thing was gone. I don't have access to one anymore to know what changes had been made to the game.

Already figured out all over the place. Going to make a lot of people happy. Even ones without the game.

Same here but worth it. You are going to love it.

I resemble that remark.

This is not you or anything wrong. The operator settings screens are rarely colored. So this is just a mask acting funny. Most of the time these get left a default color since it is not "game play" screens.

So you've already installed the hardware and have it set to DotsXL. Nice.

He was also in an episode of Tales From The Crypt (checked IMDB)

Yes, facebook shows Apollo 13, probably the official email coming out this morning with a Pinside thread.

Such a predictable company. Next this we will hear is the code should be up by Friday but then they actually put it out on Thursday.

The ColorDMD could have special programming in the ROM to light up where those bulbs were. Just like the THING lights in TAF. So the translight would not be dark.

Nope. No new graphics. All rules and call outs.

V1.7 - June 19, 2016
====================

- Added/implemented the setting "COFFIN LOCKS/MULTIBALL STACK WITH
OTHER MULTIBALLS", which existed on the PRO but was absent
on the Premium/LE.
- Added an addition rule for the spinners. Completing the guitar pick
targets lights the spinners for extra points (1-shot). The base value
is 100k/spin, and increases 10k/spin each time the guitar pick targets
are completed, to a maximum of 250k/spin.

- Timed modes (Blackened, Coffin Hurry-Up, Fuel, Lady Justice, Seek &
Destroy) were not being paused when the Crank It Up mode select was
active. This has been corrected.
- Changed combo scoring so 3+-way combos increase in value much more
quickly.
- Fuel lane now awards 1 blown piston for each lit light, instead of
1 blown piston for all three lit lights.
- Added speech to the "Enter Sandman" and the "For Whom The Bell Tolls"
modes.
- Synced knocker to run with replay/special effects.
- Added speech for chair guy fry ready (electric chair multiball).
- Added a speech call for snake lock lit.
- Fixed player up effects so they wait for speech.
- For whom the bell tolls mode was not displaying the score correctly.
This has been corrected.
- Added mystery awards for the "Crank It Up" modes:
Battery -
Awards 1 sparky hit.
Lights all shots at level 2 (blinking).
Increases the sparky value.
Increases the shot values.
Enter Sandman -
Awards the first blinking shot from left to right.
Lights 1 additional item.
Increases the shot values.
Fade To Black -
Awards the blinking shot.
Requires 2 fewer switch hits to achieve the next fade level,
to a minimum of 5 switch hits per level.
Increases the shot values.
For Whom The Bell Tolls -
Awards the first blinking shot from left to right.
Lights all shots to complete an entire column (1 time).
Increases the shot values.
There is no advantage to increasing the mystery level before collecting
the award; the award will not improve.
- Cross/electric chair/coffin/snake super skill shots now award +1
of the item towards bonus/crank it up/end of the line bonus for each
regular skill shot made.
- Fixed a problem with the bonus where stopping the bonus presentation using the
flipper buttons would leave one of the item flasher effects (cross,
electric chair, coffin, snake) running.
- Some switches would be flagged with an error in the tech alert when
they should not have been. The list of offending switches are:
TOURNAMENT START BUTTON
START BUTTON
TROUGH JAM
LEFT COIN
CENTER COIN
RIGHT COIN
FOURTH COIN
FIFTH COIN
TILT PENDULUM
SLAM TILT (OPTIONAL)
TICKET NOTCH
BACK
MINUS
PLUS
SELECT
DIP #1 - #8
- Added bonus for all items collected at the start of "The End Of The
Line". Added speech and sound effects.
- Added a lamp effect for coffin hurry-up start.
- Added alternate speech for fuel mode start.
- Removed "casket" text from coffin multiball start effect.
- Fixed an issue where the music was not quiet immediately after the player
selected a mode for "Crank It Up".
- Added super jackpot stage to snake multiball. After collecting 5
(adjustable) snake combo jackpots, all shots are lit for super jackpot
until the end of the multiball. Playfield shots disappear when
collected, and reappear when all have been collected or the snake
eject is scored.
- Added speech for HSTD enter initials timeout.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the device driver for the magnets to ignore
the "disabled" adjustment.
- Fixed the player up display effect so it does not end with blank text.
- Fixed stray (bad) pixels in the BATTERY mode intro art.
- Combos were not clearing a counter properly, which caused incorrect
combo values to carry over to other players. This has been corrected.

Those sound like small fixes. But strange the way you word it with "partial" and "stripes". An unrecognized frame would cause the entire scene to be monochrome of the default color. It must recognize the frame but parts of it were moved.

Darn animated gifs still don't work for me.

Congo announced. Email just came.

Yes, the big clue was seeing a ColorDMD in a Congo at Expo.

Should not be. This is (was) the 2016 thread.
