I already tested AMH with PIN2DMD and after a small firmware modification it was working fine.
We were also testing a simple palette switch with pin2dmd editor (green to red)
Here is a small test video the AMH owner sent me

Quoted from busa32927:

honestly i think all of the spooky games have just horrible displays. i really dont understand why. always blurry and is odd for a machine made with a modern display.

The reason I see for this is that the graphics a converted and downsized to fit the DMD and not specifically drawn for it. As far as I remember it simply is a collection of GIF graphics in the table firmware.

Quoted from herg:

I had seen that. Beyond the disputes over legality, which I really don't want to get into, I am not in love with the RGB LED displays. They look harsh to me, and I can easily pick out the individual LED emitters.

O.K. LCD vs LED that is personal taste. Yes ColorDMD has been very successful in defending what they believe is their territory by threatening their competitors and asserting things. That is nothing but saber-rattling. I just wanted to inform in case you did´t know about pin2dmd and maybe others prefer LED.

Looks great. Just needs colorizing now? (easy for me to say, I know)

Thanks You can find my modified propeller code with source which uses binary encoding here.
