Quick Question: I just picked up a nice STTNG and its the first game I was thinking out putting a color DMD in it. Im confused about the LCD and LED but I think Im going to go with the LED. On the website it recommends ROM revision "LX-7", I have "LA-7". Do I need to switch to the "export" ROM (LX-7) to get this to work?

I think I will just try it with LA-7 ROM to see what happens, if there is a problem I will change the ROM. At least I know it should work and I will probably go with the LCD as well. Thanks Guys!

Ok.....so its personal preference. Those of you that have one or the other, and its not too much of a trouble, can someone post a picture of the difference while running it on a STTNG?

On a side note: When I got my game it had LED's installed and damn they were bright on the return lanes. So, I made some replacement blue acrylic guides to knock down the brightness. They work great and look great also. I made the sling protectors as well but they are too dark, at least in this blue.

Here is a pic of the return lanes. LMK what you guys think and if there is anything else that would benefit from making something like this elsewhere. If I can get enough interest I will list them here on pinside like I have done with TMNT2 and EHOH.

Thanks! I think I like the dots more than the HiRes version. Im heading out to a friends tomorrow that has all his DMD games with these, he dont have a STTNG. I will ask him what ones are what. But if anyone has the LCD with extra large dots and standard dots or even the LED version to show I would also like to see them as well....Im sure other STTNG owners on the fence would as well.

Thanks guys for the videos and inputs on the DMD, I went with the colorDMD LED after seeing them in action on a Creature and Dracula. Both were amazing so Im hoping STTNG will be the same.

Now to see if a shaker motor and/or speaker upgrades are worth it
