Interesting tidbit of info I picked up on this interview with the Colordmd inventors on pinballhead.com.
The Color DMD even though machine specific, can be used in another machine to display a different single colour only on any other WPC machine (green CV, blue Whitewater, yellow Indiana Jones, purple Monster bash for example)
http://pinballhead.com/a-talk-with-colordmd-founders/PH: Will ColorDMD units be interchangeable by switching colorization code or does one unit only work for that title?
Randy: We’ve gotten this question a lot, and we’re still considering it. For now, they will not be interchangeable. Our current mission is to try to get as many hardware platforms out there as we can. We’d like you to have a ColorDMD in both your AFM and your MM.
However, we have added a feature to the ColorDMD that people might find almost as interesting. Using the integrated menu system, the display can be put into a mode where it behaves like a programmable single color display. This means that you could take the ColorDMD out of your AFM, stick it in another WPC/WPC95 game and set the color to anything that pleases you. Blue White Water? Purple WCS94? You name it.
Must give this a try when it arrives.
