Here is the power cable to which I was referring. It includes a 1A fuse to protect the node board.

The adapter from Mezel Mods will also work. It downconverts from 48V and does not plug into, or risk damage to, the node board. Pinball Life sells a custom board that does the same thing and produces 5V and 12V on the same connector.

This cable takes 12V from the node board and outputs it onto the 3-pin molex connector. The 7' ColorDMD SAM/WS power cable plugs into the 3-pin molex and runs back through the cabinet to the backbox.

COLORDMD KISS COLOR ROM UPDATE

We have released a 4.1 update to the color ROM for KISS pinball machines. The update corrects a bug that caused lower intensity dots to appear brighter than intended.

The update improves the visibility of the active player score during multiplayer games, and improves contrast between intensity levels for all game animations.
Thanks to Erik Thoren at the District 82 Pinball Arcade for reporting the issue! The update is now available on our firmware SUPPORT page.

This update only fixes the intensity mapping for the dot brightness levels. I'm not aware of any uncolored frames in KISS. If you can reproduce the issue, please send an email to [email protected].

If the PROG LED is repeatedly blinking, it's an error code. There's help with error codes at the first link on our troubleshooter SUPPORT page. A single repeated blink means a file with the exact name CHROMA.ROM (or COLORDMD.ROM for older Rev 1.2/1.3 control boards) could not be found on the drive.

Make sure the file doesn't have any extra characters (ex CHROMA(1).ROM) or a hidden double extension (ex CHROMA.ROM.ROM). A double extensions may be hidden by Windows folder settings. There's a setting that hides known file extensions. You can check for a double extension by opening a CMD window and using the DIR command to see the files on the drive.

The power source board in the back box does not have a 12V regulator like later SPIKE games. We're pulling power from the node board near the coin door and power is cut to the board when the door switch is open.

As an alternative, you can install something like a SPIKE accessory board from Pinball Life that converts 48Vdc to 12V/5V and supplies power regardless of the state of the coin door.
