ColorDMD Displays is excited to announce upcoming multicolor support for Judge Dredd pinball machines! Targeted for release in early January, Dredd is the 15th supported multicolor title for the ColorDMD pinball display platform, and the third game colored through community involvement!

Judge Dredd was colored by Brandon Pennington, a pinball collector and operator, and founder of the Queen City Pinball League in Springfield, Missouri. Brandon is active on Pinside, and he and his father have recently started working together on pinball restoration projects. Brandon is a High School computer science teacher and a freelance graphic artist, and he's combined his impressive technical and artistic talent to bring Dredd pinball displays to life! We're thrilled to have Brandon as a member of the ColorDMD development team, and to share his work with you!

Game 15 comes at a fitting time to help us kick off 2015, and will arrive with our latest production build of new displays shortly after the new year!

ROM version differences have generally not been an issue. We used L-7 to capture the video sequences for colorization. If there are differences in the animations for a different version,then it's possible some frames may not be recognized and colored correctly.

We generally recommend trying the ColorDMD with your existing game ROM and only consider changing ROMs if you observe issues with uncolored frames.

If issues do arise for a preferred alternate ROM version, we'll follow up to see if they can be easily resolved through a firmware update.

ALL DISPLAYS BACK IN STOCK!

Our December production run is now available! We have displays in stock for immediate shipment and expecting many more over the next week!

We're also working on finishing touches for Judge Dredd pinball machines, with the color ROM targeted for release by January 9, 2015! Stay tuned... even more news coming soon!

I should mention that the JD ROM includes new extended controls for backlight and contrast adjustment. These settings allow more user control over picture brightness and black level.

Hope you find them useful.
