Colour DMD (ColorDMD) news...

[Paul]

Have just had it confirmed by Randy over at colordmd in a mail - All screens, past and new, are able to take the data/programs for all the others - so they are basically unlocking them so they are universal

So as of later this month, you will now be able to take the screen from your TAF (for example in my case, which is taking FAR too long...) and re-program it and use in a ST:TNG...

From the website...

How can I unlock a display purchased before May 2013?


Displays purchased prior to May 2013 were locked using a game-specific unique 16-bit product key. This key has been replaced with a non game-specific unique 32-bit product key that allows customers to reconfigure displays using the supported library of SIGMA and multicolor ROM files. To use these files, you must first obtain a new 32-bit product key by sending an email with a photo of the display's COLORDMD INFO screen to
sigma-key@colordmd.com.


After processing your key request, we will send a response with your new key. Download and install a new firmware file, and return to the COLORDMD INFO screen. The bottom of the screen will show 'KEY INVALID' followed by 8 blank spaces. To enter the new key, use the second button to select the digit and the third button to enter it. Repeat this for all 8 digits until the 'KEY INVALID' text is replaced with 'PRODUCT KEY'. Then advance to the SAVE AND EXIT screen to store the new key.

Happy days
