GO APE! COLORDMD VENTURES INTO THE CONGO

ColorDMD Displays is excited to announce support for Congo pinball machines! Previewed at Pinball Expo earlier this month, Congo is the 48th supported multicolor release for the ColorDMD pinball display platform and 17th title release in 2016.

John Dozier, colorist for ColorDMD's X-Men release, returns for Congo! John is a a pinball enthusiast and web designer from Springfield, Missouri. He's also an active Pinsider, and member of the Queen City Pinball League with fellow ColorDMD developer Brandon Pennington.

John brings his special talents to bear on this long awaited title. Search the jungle for brightly colored diamonds while avoiding the vibrant pitfalls of full-color hippos, snakes, gorillas, and raging volcanoes. No stone has been left unturned, including the video mode!

The ColorDMD for Congo pinball machines leverages the company's easy-to-install ColorDMD LCD and LED platforms. Displays ship with the factory installed SIGMA ROM. Multicolor operation is enabled through free download and installation of a game-specific color ROM using a USB drive. The display may be reconfigured for use with any supported title.

Color ROMs for Congo will be available for new Chroma LED and LCD displays, as well as original ColorDMD LCD displays.

New displays are currently rolling off the production line. Our website is now taking orders that will be filled as stock is received from manufacturing. The color ROMs for Congo pinball machines are targeted for release on Friday, November 4.

Thank you for your continued support! For additional information, including upcoming game previews, please visit us at www.colordmd.com!

This is either a play on words re: the stones in the video mode, a jab at PPS (video mode not currently colored on MMr), both, or neither. I have no idea.

Just when I think about selling a game......they drag me back in.

I'd like to see what the snake and that other creature look like when you guess wrong in the mine shaft.

I bought LED for my SS.... As I've read so far, it's easier to install, brighter, and US$30 cheaper!

Whenever I find the diamonds in the mine shaft and it shows the 15(could be 5?, I don' remember) diamond animation its always in monocolor(Everything is Blue). Anyone else have this issue? I just reinstalled the Chroma files and checked to make sure its 4.1.

LCD set on dots, Led it ok too, installs exactly like the original dmd but you have to adjust the brightness and the screen is a little smaller than the dmd is.

So what you're saying is set it to just DOTS? I have the LCD and run on DOTSXL. I'm at work now or i'd go give it a try.

He wasn’t replying to you, he was replying to post 44

You need to send an email to colordmd, they can fix the bad coloring on the dots on the 5 or 15 diamonds
