ColorDMD's next game is South Park

We Just Gave You Sweet Loving 5 Minutes Ago!

...but ColorDMD is back with our tenth release for 2015! We're excited to announce support for South Park pinball machines, the 24th supported title for the ColorDMD pinball display platform!

Now you can interact with all the South Park characters as they were meant to be. Cartman, Kenny, Stan, Kyle and Chef pop to life in vivid color along with more poo, farts, and 5-assed monkeys than you can shake a stick at!

South Park was colorized by Dave Ballance and Mike Hartmann, new members of the ColorDMD Development team and both passionate about South Park!

Dave works as a Sargeant in a Canadian Police Department and has been collecting and restoring pinball machines since 2006. Mike is a software developer and owner of a Canadian software company. He currently owns 26 pinball machines and 3 video arcades and is hoping to add more! Dave and Mike are excited to share their work on South Park and looking forward to their next project!

The ColorDMD for South Park pinball machines leverages the company's easy-to-install ColorDMD SIGMA platform and supports six different rendering styles. Multicolor operation is enabled through free download and installation of a game-specific ROM using a USB drive. The display may be reconfigured for use with any supported title.

Displays are in stock now for immediate shipping, and the color ROM for South Park will be available for download from our site by July 10, 2015.

You can see the new South Park display live at Pintastic New England July 10-11 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts! Thanks to Gabe Dannunzio and Derek Baldassari for debuting South Park at the show!

Many more titles are still in progress. Stay tuned for future announcements!

I am new to this colour dmd concept. Does the hardware remain the same amd the software proms make it comparable to different machines?
If that is so my guess is my checkpoint will never be a release as the dmd size is so different to a standard sized one.
They should have a soon to come to colour dmd.... It may be worth buying the dmd if you could get one on sale etc. If you knew one of your owned titles was on the short list.

You buy a generic ColorDMD kit and download the colour code from their website. In theory, you could just rotate one CDMD throughout your entire collection by just re-loading different code for each supported machine.

As for mini-DMD support, you never know...as long as the thing can be mounted, it can just call upon the smaller field of dots. The screen is quite large...I'm not sure if it can eventually stand in for the XL DMDs of the later Sega games like Maverick, Frankenstein, Batman Returns and Baywatch. Maybe after the majority of standard sized DMD titles are colourized and profits dry up a bit, they can rig up some new code/hardware to account for the small/big DMDs. Might be small potatoes for them, though....a pretty limited lineup of games....although some fan favorites: Star Trek 35th, Batman, TMNT...

From installing the one I did for a client's TAF and now making up a replacement LCD DMD for a client's Batman Forever using the Pinball Extender I would say the ColorDMD LCD is large enough to work in the DE/SEGA large DMD applications without any trouble at all.
