Quoted from altan:

Sorry for the very basic question --- I did look set this thread but didn't read each message.
How does one
1) Acquire the HW for this?
2) Get a list of colorized games?
... Altan

You should read it. Your questions might be different.

1) Can I buy this hardware cheaper off someone who got frustrated trying to get it to work?
2) Was there ever more than a couple of games colorized or is it just those crappy 4 color palettes available?

Colorization for pin2dmd finished!
Hi,
I´m proud to present The Simpsons Pinball Party PIN2DMD colorization project which I started 2 months ago for my own pinball machine.
I never did anything like this before and I had to learn a lot how to get it done in the quality i wanted to have. One of the biggest
parts was to make all the recordings, using the pin2dmd tool, containing all the scenes of a gameplay. After all the time I have spent on this, I must admit that I would rather have paid somebody else 15-20$ to get a ready to use colorization, instead of doing it by myself.
That is why I ask you to support my job and if you want to have a copy of my work please make a donation by using this link
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=JLRAHFTD23UKU
I will send you 2 files you simply need to copy on the SD card and put it into your pin2dmd. I will also send you updates automatically
if available. Out of respect for my work and as a motivation for future projects, I kindly ask you not to forward these files to other users.
Please also report me if you get my work offered from other sources. Thank you !!
PIN2DMD firmware version 2.38 or later and Display ROM v5.0 in english is recommended, since all my work is based on this version
If you find any uncolorized scenes, or bugs, let me know, how you got it, or send me recordings / videos.

Wouldn't want anyone stealing your hard work, right. Hey wait, you are selling Copyright material that you just colored over. This is illegal. Funny how you don't want people giving away your work for free but you are happy to profit off someone else's work.

Quoted from HighVoltage:

I'm not familiar with using PIN2DMD, but I understood these were just some palette/color/index files that don't contain anything from the ROMs. What is the copyright material you are referring to?
Is there a more proper way to distribute colorization without copyright material?

Doing the 4 color pallets and things is not illegal, but it looks like garbage.

What vbobrusev is "selling" is actually artwork taken from the game using the pinball browser software, colored and repackaged. This is illegal. It is not for personal use only when distributed, when sold it becomes a big deal. While the virtual world was pretty much ignored in the past this is now being placed on hardware going into actual Stern machines.

Correction: Is illegal in the United States. He is not in the US and I have no idea if there are any repercussions outside the US.

Quoted from Darscot:

I have not looked at any of this code but I think it would be possible to detect a frame without actually including it into the distributed material. Thus avoiding any copyright.

That is the basis for the ColorDMD patent.

Quoted from tjc02002:

To be fair, the project was clearly started as a virtual pinball solution but upgraded to also work using real pinball signal input. I really like colordmd but I can't spend $400 on my $2000 pinball machine just to make the screen look cool(I realize I might be a minority on this forum). also just because colordmd costs too much that is not luckys fault.

No, just because you cannot afford something [or do not want to spend that much] does not give you the right to steal it.

Quoted from tjc02002:

It is all conjecture my friend.

Les Misérables? No you are not.

But dude you make a heck of a car wreck? (in a Junkyard good way)

I put a ColorDMD in a Popeye. Was I not supposed to do that for that Game to Mod ratio?

Quoted from Rappelbox:

taxman:
I love the effort you did on T2, but i don't like the colors you used. That's why i will use my own colorization, for my personal use!

Quoted from tjc02002:

I like the colors you used in T2 taxman. I will copy them exactly for my Pin2dmd.

No you won't. You're too lazy. You bought two of them how long ago without getting them installed?
