Trade for a TWD premium.

I've had my disc motor with new pad upside down on a flat surface with a whole bunch of weights on it the last 20 hours. Lock it down tight!!!!!

Is there a way to tone down the strength of the shooter lane kick out coil?

Mine wants to knock a hole in the metal protector it feels like! Murderous!

Ok, so I installed the ColorDMD today and it looks great, but now I have reflections from the playfield on the ColorDMD. Obviously, I'd rather not remove the transparent plastic screen to protect the ColorDMD so I'm wondering what others have done to avoid glare (not from, but on the DMD itself).

Flanker mailed me a jar of secret sauce with instructions to apply generously on each bulb. After waiting a few mins, the bulbs unscrewed themselves and ran screaming out the door. Who knew

Isn't that for the opposite problem where the DMD reflects on the glass? I have the issue that the lights from the playfield reflect on the DMD.

You should probably send me a color DMD and I'll figure out a solution to the problem.

The dotted images look ok, the Hi-res are not so good, I never liked those (saw these also on ST and SM). Probably going to invest in one as you cab also set the total screen on just blue.

As the dev my favorite is scan, but plenty of choices. 8-bit is my least favorite though tile looks good as well. I like Dots XL on this one as well.

I will say that I develop all titles using normal Dots.

Thank you for your efforts!!! I'm a scan guy, too (minority, I know)...just enjoy it more (except for certain clips)...have had a Sigma in TRONLE for awhile...anxious to see the colorized version.....

Friday I'm still fixing a couple tiny bugs we spotted yesterday. Four hours of straight Tron is a lot of Tron. I feel bad I didn't get to SOS like the other two, one shot away too!

Not that many of you know me personally, but last Saturday night my Dad suffered a rupture in his brain stem and was put on life support. B/c he was an organ donor the process took a few days but He was officially pronounced dead Tuesday and I will be burying him Friday. Reason I bring this up is because he was an Organ donor and even at 77 years old, a Cold Coors light drinking bad boy motor head guy still was able to donate his liver to a 40 year old and kidneys to a 60 year old and help save 2 lives. If your not, you should think about being an organ donor. Its amazing what they can do. And you never know whom you can help save. I've been absent on here the past week and will be for a few more days while I attend to my Fathers' Funeral.
