Here is my Metallica custom topper. It interacts with the game through a PIG2 controller.

Quoted from Sparky:...and Blackened are the only songs tied to DMD animation
I love this game, but it bugs the crap out of me that Blackened is used where Four Horsemen was clearly intended. The animation is the 4 dudes on horses, but that stupid "pick the song" contest ruined it. I love the song Blackened, but it doesn't go there. Rant off.
Quoted from northvibe:why don't you change it?
Because "Blackened" shows up on the DMD animated. I didn't think I could change that. Maybe I'm wrong.
Quoted from Purpledrilmonkey:If you can change DMD frames with the pinball browser, with a minor amount of artistic work Blackened should be changeable to Four Horsemen. I believe it's just a static DMD image that artistically says 'BLACKENED' when the mode starts? Maybe a couple frames of fading it in and out as well which could be handled fairly easily once the main image is modified.

Course I also don't know the capability of pinball browser in this regard...
That sounds promising... I may give this a whirl.
Quoted from Arcade:The Blackened Text can easily be changed.
Animations are another beast entirely.
What is animated about it? I don't own a Metallica and it sounded like it was a Four Horseman animation that you wanted to keep anyway.
Its the drawn word "Blackened" I'd want to change at the start of the mode... yes, keeping the horse animations is a must. Purpledrilmonkey may be right about how to accomplish it.
