TOTAN is now old news. What is your vote for the next ColorDMD release?
I suspect it will be Indy. By my calculations, the release will be middle of June.
Quoted from Riffbear:Has to be TZ… one of the most popular titles out there.
So is Indy. I have a TZ, but not an Indy. I'm feeling Indy on this one.
It is a shame that Stern doesn't start using a ColorDMD in the LE/Premium games as they ship. I think it would boost their sales even more.
Quoted from wcbrandes:Is TOTAN now available for purchase? Any ide how much?
Available since the end of March. Purchase a Sigma display and download what ever color ROM you want.

The displays are for purchase. The multicolor roms for each game are free. You just have to wait for them to code and release the program for your specific game. Otherwise it's just mono color.
I just voted for IJ. All of those video modes make it the ultimate next candidate for colorization.
I have a TZ too, but I'm thinking about getting ColorDMD's Sigma display, setting it to the HD mode (I think that's what they call it) and setting it to white. I think this will simulate a black-and-white TV which fits with the TZ theme better than colorization in my opinion. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you 100% on TZ in white looks amazing.
I also voted for Indy because, hell, who doesn't want this in color. It has great animations

I agree with you about TZ. I did not think it went well with TOTAN. Not sure why can't put my finger on it. I would like to see some integration with the new STREN STAR TREK . Do not see that happening but its a thought.
Quoted from jwo825:I have a nagging suspicion that Metallica is a good candidate due to the popularity, though.
No Sterns happening yet, I'd let that suspicion rest for a while. Metallica dots would be sweet. Pointless to do it before the code is more final anyways.
That makes sense, Aurich. I guess you can't program a color dot show if it's changing on you.
All the better for Indy, then!

Installed this exact description a few weeks ago. Looks great. The Addams Family I bought a few weeks ago already had an old color dmd installed. Very nice but I wish it had the HD settings.
Yeah, Judge Dredd never looked so good.
I like the blue more than the yellow. Sigma is just awesome in this game.
Quoted from kwiKimart:Shadow has to be next!!!
Sure will be, but after this long list of games...
Indy J, TZ, Judge Dredd, LOTR, Metallica, Star Trek, Pinball Magic, then the Shadow and Road show.
That is my prediction. That will take us through to Dec 2015
Quoted from jwo825:Wasn't there an issue CV DMD placement? I didn't think the color DMD would fit
Yeah, the ColorDMD isn't the same aspect ratio as a plasma DMD, it's 16:9, not 4. The extra screen is hidden fine behind a speaker panel, you don't see it unless you open your game up, but with the way CV is designed I doubt there's a way to fit it. Unless maybe you could have the screen sticking down out of the playfield with a tweak in the ROM to shift the display pixels to the top. Dunno if that's possible or not.
Quoted from zippydapinhead:This and Doctor Who!
Never really thought about Doctor Who in color. That really would look awesome.
Quoted from BenetBoy78:Dont forget Safecracker.
Pretty sure ColorDMD won't fit in SC with all the special coin dispenser stuff in that backbox.
Also sure that they won't be doing a ColorDMD for RFM.
Quoted from PinRob:Judge Dredd is my hope. Great DMD animations and the machine itself is so colorful.
I have been hoping for the same. But now that Shadow is sitting next to it, I would like to see them both colorized. I would click on buy it now for either and or both of these titles.
RoadShow, Congo, FishTales are all ones I would buy.
I was working on FishTales but was not making progress quick enough for the team and got the boot. I can only assume that means it will be done by/before June since my contract was through June and I would have gotten it done by then if I had not been asked to give it up.

I don't think the color DMD would physically fit in CV. I always seem to knock it with the Playfield when I raise and lower. It's a tight fit as it is.
