---Update 2017-07-07----------------------------------------------
Good news for all of you interested in this solution:
I decided to produce a larger batch this time so you all don't have to wait that long anymore.
Controllers are ordered and will shortly go into production.
---Update 2017-03-31----------------------------------------------

---Update 2017-03-31----------------------------------------------
Displays are shipping from Europe for now!
I don't want to talk about the reasons...
There will be a small run shipping from the US, but it takes a little time to prepare and keep involved people save from competitor not wanting my display in the States.
---Update 2017-02-17----------------------------------------------
Im very happy to announce that devices will very soon be available directly from the US!
I found a reliable partner, with lots of experience with pinballs and modding.
So this seems to be the next logical step.
No more hassle with customs, taxes etc.
Details will follow the next days, avaibillity and prices also.
---Update 2017-01-09----------------------------------------------
First batch is sold out!
I would start a 2nd batch very soon, but I need feedback if there's enough demand for it.
This time there will be no preorder payment or similar.
It's only "first come - first serve" and I will start collecting interested people from now on.
Because some (Crash ) asked, there will be an option to buy only the controller.
But be warned: Savings aren't as much as you might expect and panels are hard to get and very flaky on quality site. this is why the first run took so long.
---Initial post----------------------------------------------
Hello folks,
As most of you probably know, original 192x64 DMDs are rare or almost non-existent.
Old ones are dying as time passes by and there is no replacement...
SO FAR!
We made a little test and we're now able to announce a replacement and enhancement for your big Sega displays...
Lucky1 made a special version of his PIN2DMD firmware for these big panels and gave me the exclusive opportunity to bring that project to life.
Following titles are supported:
-Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
-Maverick
-Batman Forever
-Baywatch
In addition to replacement, PIN2DMD-XL firmware is also capable of colorizing your game!
Options:
-Original orange color
-red, green, blue, white, grey, violet, purple, each in different shades (brightnesses)
-any combination of 4 different colors, e.g. white (100% Brightness), orange (66%), red (33%), black (0%)
-Scaling brightness to your own liking

---installation---------------------------------------
1. unplug your machine completely from any electrical power! Working with high voltages is dangerous and could possibly kill you.
2. open your backbox
3. Unmount your Backglass and Speaker panel
4. remove all cables from the DMD and the Display Controller Board
5. unscrew the Controller Board and remove it
6. remove the old DMD and keep the spacers (should be some brass spacers in different heights)
7. start with the lower spacers, then put in the RGB.PIN.DMD-XL so that the card reader faces upwards
8. after the display, put on the higher spacers and the dmd controller board. Put on the remaining spacers and nuts.
9. rewire the controller with my provided flat cable, other cables won't work properly
10. wire the red cable of the DMD to V+ of the supply and the black to V-
11. from Power Supply, connect N and L to a power plug to use it on the service outlet
OR
connect them after the main power switch, before the transformer to the black and white AC cables coming from the main power switch, just before the transformer
12. connect the remaining connector (GND) to the GND-line of your pinball, easiest would be grounding wire of the speakers, also attached to the Speaker panel
Put everything back together and fire it up
