Soon-ish?
Quoted from NPO:I am explaining to my wife how when this comes out for Metallica, I am going to be -$400 that day.
She understands .
Don't wait. It looks amazing on a sigma now. With color it's going to be ridiculous.
Quoted from epthegeek:Don't wait. It looks amazing on a sigma now. With color it's going to be ridiculous.
Agree. I've had one in my Metallica maybe 6 months now. Cool and only getting cooler.
I finally got around to updating the Color DMD files on my AFM, MB and TAF.
Holy cow!
The improvement with this update is absolutely incredible. The new scaling options are very cool, but even if you put that aside and stayed with the DOTS mode, the improvement in black levels and brightness is amazing. 100% improvement. Zero exaggeration.
It's like I just put a brand new product in 3 of my pins.
Quoted from Aurich:Metallica is already being colorized. I guess it depends on your definition of "a while".
I stand corrected. I didn't think that was next up or even on the horizon.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I stand corrected. I didn't think that was next up or even on the horizon.
It's gonna be awesome too. I'm super stoked for it. The game has such great dots.
I posted a video of my Attack From Mars with the DMD 3.0 setting to HiRes. More videos to come of my other color DMDs. Blog post Here:

Yep, straight swap. No extra cable needed.
Quoted from Animal:any word on when Stern ST will b ready?
Really? I am sure you won't have to ask, you will know when it's here, the forum Will be buzzing.
I agree about TSPP. It is phenomenal. I do believe, however, that I did see a glitch on it but I don't know how to accurately describe where it happened. I believe there is a point where it displays all six (or however many there) of the multiball or tv modes on the dmd at once. When I saw it, the were kind of garbled together initially but then they came in clearly for a brief moment. Sorry about my horrible description. I have to think someone else has seen this and can better pinpoint where it occurs.

That sounds like a rom issue not a color dmd issue.
Quoted from sillyoldelf:Looks epic on TSPP - the most essential mod ever you can do to it. Well done Colordmd.
Thanks Sillyoldelf!

Sounds like you are talking about the lead up to SDMEWM. This comes up only when you complete one of the requirements.
Just installed mine on TSPP, looks great. As everyone has said, Randy's customer support is top notch. I had a question and got a reply within 2 hrs and on a Saturday night at 11pm! Anyone who has concerns about the install or adding the rom...don't be. It is really straightforward, well worth the coin for this product.
Quoted from Animal:any word on when Stern ST will b ready?
They're probably waiting on a code update or two. There are a few missing animations that may be added. My guess is no earlier than end of this year.
Quoted from Captain_Kirk:They're probably waiting on a code update or two. There are a few missing animations that may be added. My guess is no earlier than end of this year.
Probably not good to guess at this point as we are working furiously to meet the demands of modders out there.
Lots in development right now. Games Randy mentioned in his 2015 update are getting priority currently. So many good things to come in the next few months. Not speaking directly to this title, but what is in development is all looking fantastic. Some titles will be quite surprising, some not so much but 2015 will be a big year from the development currently underway. I have to say the quality I'm seeing from everyone doing development is what everyone expects of CDMD, and even getting better.
For all the positive customer support praise Randy gets, it makes me wonder how he serves the customers and developers so both so well.
Quoted from shimoda:Probably not good to guess at this point

Right. I took all of that under consideration when I said no earlier than late this year for Star Trek. IF it's code was more polished, we'd probably see it earlier.
Quoted from Animal:you seem to be in the know from what I have seen from other threads about ST code. Are they even working on it?
They are. I wouldn't expect any updates before next month at the earliest though.
Quoted from shimoda:Sounds like you are talking about the lead up to SDMEWM. This comes up only when you complete one of the requirements.
I think you are correct. I knew I wasn't seeing things. I don't think it is a rom issue. Its a minor colordmd glitch.

I haven't seen it, but my 9 year old said "for a second, it looked like a couple of screens at the same time."
Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:I
Yup, the star field on sttng suffers from dithering errors too. But, I think it's pretty awesome. Going with scan on mine for now.
Same here but I've noticed some oddities at times in the Holodeck video mode where the colors get mixed up (The 10s end up grey or white instead of green, the bombs are no longer red and the walls will have green streaks or spots in them). It doesn't happen every time but I'm going to try to capture video of it tonight.
purchased and installed the color dmd 3.0 on my TOTAN. id like to hear from other TOTAN owners and tell me if they are experiencing the same as i.
the first pic colors seem unfinshed to me, the second pic is what happens when a new tale is started and the pages turn and lastly notice the blue line on the top of the last pic. i should note that im running 1.3. is this a rom or dmd issue ? totan 3.jpgtotan 2.jpgtotan 1.jpg
Quoted from herg:It works fine on my TOTAN. Can you double-check that the correct ROM is loaded on the ColorDMD? Just press the menu button, and it will display what ROM is loaded.
it does say 3.0. are you running 1.3 or 1.4 on your TOTAN ?

If you can document the sequence that causes that it's an easy fix for them.
Quoted from mollyspub:it does say 3.0. are you running 1.3 or 1.4 on your TOTAN ?
1.4 on mine. When I squint my eyes at the second pic, I imagine I can see the genie as he stands ready to throw a fireball in the blue area. I'm guessing it's incorrectly matching the wrong frame due to the different game ROM version.

had a similar issue on AFM, reloaded the ROM, works fine now. Seemed to have not uploaded correctly the first time.

contacted randy and he suggested the same. after reloading... all good !!!

Stop squinting your eyes! : )

That's a good observation! I don't think a different game ROM version would cause that though. It looks more like a bad ROM image or hardware problem reading the memory on the board. We're working to resolve it.
EDIT: Glad the reinstall worked!
Quoted from Dmod:I don't think a different game ROM version would cause that though.
That's what I get for guessing.
Quoted from Whysnow:on FT where a boat coming from the right and going to the left is all blue/ not colored.
I get this too...
Quoted from DerRoland:Proudly present the first LotR video :

A new era for modern pinball playing! Thanks again, Randy!
Just noticed this: at 2:10, does the original display also misspell 'multipliers' as 'multipiers' for the ORC lane feature?
Quoted from StevenP:Just noticed this: at 2:10, does the original display also misspell 'multipliers' as 'multipiers' for the ORC lane feature?
It must because ColorDMD doesn't change the code at all.
Something caught my attention. Not a bug in ColorDMD but just weird. I never really noticed before. Recently I started staring at my new ColorDMD
It's the current players score. It 'wipes' occasionally. During calm periods. It's especially noticeable during two player mode.
I pulled the glass and got some video. Sorry about the first one. I had the ball in my hand and when the game went into ball-search the kicker hit my tripod
Single Player:
Two player: notice how player one wipes, then when player two gets involved only it wipes.
What's the value of the effect?? Do other games do this in mid play?
Thoughts?
