WTB: ColorDMD

Post by quarter grabber »

I'd like to purchase a colorDMD. Would prefer to buy a used one that isn't needed anymore locally. If you have one you want to get rid of please let me know.

Have you looked into these?

Much cheaper and the ones I have seen in person look good.

That is amazing. I'm not that smart though. I wonder if they make a plug and play kit? And i wonder if they habe iron man colorized?

I've talked with 4eyes on them many times :-) Requires a bit of technical knowledge if you want to source the parts from China and not many games are colourized at this point. They work great if you want one colour, for example blue for Tron or Star Trek, and looks awesome in black and white mode for TZ.

I'm not a big fan of the "default" colours (with the exception of TZ). They look ok, but pale in comparison to ColourDMD unless someone has done the hard work to customize the file. There is one for TSPP and I believe someone was working on Godzilla. Someone else did Streetfighter. But I think that's about it. At least when I looked into them, that was it.

I have a a bunch of them, for single colours and some default palettes their great. I did start on some colorizations but it is a lot of work, I’m more or less waiting for others to do it but not a lot of progress lately. There are some great looking finished ones like T2.
