DMoS owner #3 here. I just thought this may be a good place to talk to recent updates, strategies, hardware setups and help for others that want to turn their demo man into DMoS!

So, how do you guys have your PC set up inside the cab? I'm just using a laptop with an external sound card right now but I would like to switch over to a better solution.

Here are a few, I'll shoot one of my one sometime soon.

Not my video nor my machine. However, I believe in DMoS the cryoclaw now grabs the ball and you must hit the top trigger button to drop the ball in the right spot as it swings over. It makes it a little more difficult and speeds up the game.

Quick question for anyone who has the game. Have you been able to reset your high scores since the last update?

Welcome Pinman! I'll try to find and post the change log. It significantly changes the scoring so it requires you do reset the high scores from what I recall.

So here is the info for update 2:

It’s a big update, especially ‘under the hood’.
Lot’s of adaptions to the info on the DMD screens and a re-evalution of the scoring tables.
Scoring is more balanced now between modes and multiballs.

Extra ball on Eye-Ball-Frenzy is a bit more difficult. In easy mode you need to hit the target once before the mode starts and one time extra for every time you didn't collect the extra ball to restart the mode.

The progress after Wizard Mode had some bugs, these are fixed.
Awards in “Party Mode” are animated and much clearer.

A lot of updates on the DMD animations. New screens on Eye-Ball-Target, Car Lane and Car Chase mode. Also on ball locks freezes and multiball ready.
New flasher animations and a few soundbites.

You need to reset your highscore table in the coindoor menu. Use the coindoor buttons to go to “settings -> highscores -> all”. Set to ‘save settings on exit’ and go back to attract mode. Scoring tables should be reset now.

This version is called Demolition Man on Steroids by a Pinovating. They can be found d on Facebook. If you have any problem contacting them PM me and I'll see if I can help you out. It makes DM a whole new game, totally worth it!

Yeah you can. You would have to contact them about price, I honestly can not remember what I paid. It does require a PROC board and small PC or laptop to run the software with a color DMD.

I have about 7 pins and I can tell you DMOS will never leave my house. All the custom callouts, video clips, custom music, all new rule-set makes it a keeper for me. I would love to see more of these re-writes of B/W machines.

I wonder if it would be possible to colorize the animations since a lot of the clips are from the movie. If they could be run in color that would be amazing!

I'll try to find the latest patch notes and post them along with the full rule-set. I have them somewhere in a pdf I just need to find them.

Yeah man you are more than welcome to try mine out!

I've never noticed that issue on mine. I think that was an issue with old code, that youtube video is pretty old. Does anyone else have that issue?

I built mine, I didn't realize that someone else would build these for you, very cool! If you decide to do it yourself you need a color dmd, proc board, DMOS software, a small pc or laptop, and of course a DM.

Oh really? Did you guys reach out to Pinovating? Thats a bummer if thats true. DMOS is still a keeper in my book, I hope you guys can still get the software.

That sucks! Would it be possible to use one of the Cliffy ramp protectors from another machine like IM and modify it? If I had one I would measure if for you. I'm sure the screw holes won't line up but you may be able to attach it somehow.

Welcome to the club! Right now my work shop and game room are under construction so I have my DMOS shrink wrapped up but when I have my space back I'll play around with the settings and check on the coin drop. As far as version code, I'll look into that too. But, coming from Hemi, I would assume you have the latest and greatest. There were a few updates and if I recall correctly Dennis told me that if it says "The Demolition Man" when you start the game it is the latest update but don't quote me on that, I'll double check.

How are you liking it so far?

Welcome! Yeah, the rules are surprisingly deep. I still need to go back through my e-mail when I was corresponding with the designer Dennis to see if I can find the rules. Your DM looks fantastic by the way!

To be clear, I had nothing to do with the game. I just was able to write back and forth with him over e-mail a lot about it. I believe he talked to everyone when the game first came out to provide as much information as possible. Hopefully you guys are still able to reach out to Pinnovating through they facebook page (That's how I originally got ahold of them).
