The video and audio is poor, but I was lucky to get it.

That is displayed on an LCD in the back box.

I guess the "Beta" version will be on display at expo.

I also got a pic.

It is not just a translite replacement, it is soo very much more. It will interact with game play. It is designed to keep the game with the dmd intact, so it can be easily transformed back to its original state if the mod is removed.

"The Mamushka" mode will be a little more interesting than just orange dots. Actually, all the modes will be.

All the details will be revealed at Expo in Chicago.

What I have shared here is just the tip of the iceberg.

That is all I can say at this time.

Here is a better vid of one of the attract mode animations:

Keep in mind these are just snapshots of an early prototype in attract mode.

I feel the same way... when the game is playing, the LCD animations must match seamlessly with the game play. And not be overbearing, but add to an already great pin. I just can't reveal too much right now but appreciate all the feedback, even if it is critical

I can't say I totally disagree with this. But since the pin ties in so closely with the movie, it seemed a natural tie in given the fact today's technology finally allows for this to actually happen. I knew from the outset that some would never ever consider this mod, and I also knew some would love the idea. That is why one of the main ideas of this mod is to keep the option to play the original with the artwork showing on the DMD or toggle to play the "enhanced" version.

As far as the rights go, this mod is strictly home use only. The dvd and material contained in it is for private home use, not for public display. Each mod would come with an original copy of the dvd from which all copyrighted material would be found, and would therefor be for private home use only.

You are correct.

I am not selling or reproducing their copyrighted content for distribution.

You can build a custom MP3 player, and sell it along with, say, an unopened Eminem CD to someone. That person who buys it has the right to load tracks from the CD to the MP3 for his own personal use.

Sell the same MP3 loaded with copyrighted songs.... yeah, problem.

Ok, We are putting the cart ahead of the horse here.

1. This is my own mod, using my own hardware, using clips from my own copy of the DVD in my own home.

2. I never said it would be for sale. It was assumed. But for the record, if it does come to fruition, the hardware and custom software programming could be sold as a kit... Not preloaded with any copyrighted material.

I am doing this as a hobby that I love and want to see it happen. I am not, nor will I ever, illegally copy, furnish, or sell copyrighted material

I lol'd

Who said anything about making money?

Innovations have to start somewhere. Good, bad, or indifferent.

Thanks, Kim.

Something like that is actually in the works as well. The lcd screen makes many cool things possible.

And as far as the licensed material, I will NOT be distributing copyrighted material. My own mod may have some of my own, playing clips from MY OWN DVD. It would be up to each individual to use their OWN dvd if they want to play clips in their own home.

I am just trying to develop a system that could open up many possibilities for complimenting old pinballs, and maybe even new ones.

And still have the original backglass art....

You can see a very very early version at the Pinball Expo in Chicago. It will not be finished until October 2013. No idea on the kit cost at this point.

This is being done as a HOBBY first, if there is some demand, and it turns out good, well... we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Thanks for your interest.
