I'm not Dom (fortunately), I'm Luis from Pinballsp.
1.- Amber filter is an acrylic 3-4mm thick that increase contrast and hide off leds (pictures attached).
2.- Magic Color Tool Editor, will be a software to may apply Advanced Color to all DMDMK66 multicolor DMDs.
Check the attached photo, to see the difference between installing or not the amber filter in the DMDMK66.

Of course, you may install DMDMK66 128x32 in any Ballly/Williams, Data East, Stern SAM, Stern/SEGA WhiteStar, Capcom and Spinball, soon also available for Spike and Gottlieb.
The color system, has two options, current is a base color that work automatically, convert brightness levels in colors, so for a Bally/Williams this mean 4 colors, though my last firmware version allow configure upt to 4 palettes, to change automatically each 25-30 seconds.
And second option (now under development with Matic Color Tool Editor), allow apply up to 16 colors to each frame of an animation, so final look is better. This is not yet available, though Im working with it.

Hello Nutty.
I do not have a video about it, but I'll try to load the game Rom into one of my WPC CPUs to run the game and record a video.

Ok, if you just want to check the quality of the DMDMK66, you can check my Facebook and YouTube channels, there you will see several videos about the DMDMK66 in operation.
The quality of the DMDMK66 is the same for all supported pinball manufacturers. Therefore, although I do not have a video of the DMDMK66 installed in a The Getaway, these videos can serve you to verify the quality of the product, the image is perfect, stable and without any kind of flicker.

Hi Luis,
Some questions / feedback about the boot sequence and time.
The boot time is longer than the original screen, so you miss some information when booting - machine ID, location number etc.
The boot screen uses preset colours - so even if you configure your own palette, it boots up in bright blue/green.
1. Is there any way to make it boot faster (perhaps change a setting in the config file to not display the boot screen at all)?
2. Is it possible to tell the boot screen to use the colours from the users defined palette?
3. Do you have a link to the Baywatch colour palette you can post up here?
4. Here is a link to a file that makes the screen look like an original orange DMD for use on SEGA Baywatch (and possibly others)

Hello Ed.
Reply to your questions.
1.- No. The boot needs that time because it must read the SD card to verify if there is an update available and then apply it.
2.- No. The configuration colors are only available for the firmware, not for the boot manager.
3.- For that pinball, I usually choose Black, Blue, Orange and White, all the standard colors available in the dmdmk66.txt file. You can also verify the replacement of the blue color by turquoise blue or dark blue.
4. Ok, thanks.
Regards
Hi there
I’m in the throws of buying a second hand one of these for my TAF.
As if talking to an infant. Can you tell me what I need to do to make this work as soon as I turn the machine on. As apparently it currently does not display the dmd images after it boots.
Any advice gratefully received
Kind regards

If your machine does not show images in the DMD, it can be for several reasons.
1.- Damaged DMD
2.- Damaged video card
3.- If it is a plasma DMD, high voltages can fail.
The ideal to know what is wrong, is to try that plasma DMD in another machine, or put a DMD that we know works, in that machine. It is the fastest way to rule out DMD or video card problems. For high voltages, it would have to be measured with the tester's voltmeter.
Ok thanks mate
@windoesnot can you shed any light

Ok so the DMD is being used in a Roadshow and Shadow. It used to display a colour image on both machines until I somehow managed to reset the DMD so it has lost the colour settings. I could set the game to use colour or between the different singular colour (eg shades of white)
Now when it turns on, it shows the splash boot image for the DMD and Bally / Williams on the bottom. The game boots but shows nothing else on the DMD.
My regular DMDs work perfectly in both machines.

Its ok, I’ve figured out the issue and its working fine now.
