Due to system limitations searching with words of 3 or less characters will not return results. For instance; Doctor Who. This will not return results as the system is trying to search for both Doctor AND Who in which Who will not be found as it's a 3 character word. To find Doctor Who; you'd search for either Doctor or "Doctor Who".
Search Tips:
For specific searches; enclose your search with quotes. Example: "Doctor Who" or "Addams Family".

Hi guys, I've been wanting to create a Pin2dmd EVO with the Data East DMD controller built in. Anyone who has used a Pin2dmd on a Data East (or Sega) machine will know how the SD card and USB port are inaccessible once installed. Updating your colour file, testing your colour file and dumping games can become a bit of a mission as you have to remove the DMD PCB and the metal plate to get to your Pin2dmd. The other benefit on having an all in 1 pcb is that people can often have faulty or failing DMD driver PCBs and the cost to replace this can be almost as much as the Pin2dmd itself. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to create a new PCB, but I have been speaking with @Rene368 who does have the skills required to create such a device. There are however a few things we need to work out before we can bring this device to life. First is the availability of the microprocessors U9 (68B45) and U11 (68B09E), does anyone know if there is a good resource/supplier for these chips that are guaranteed not fake? The next issue will be the PAL chips, we would need to get these dumps and then have a way to reliably program them. Does anyone know if these have already been publicly dumped? If not, does anyone have the equipment/skill to be able to do so? The last factor will will be the cost. Hopefully the final product will be cheaper than buying a Pin2dmd and a DMD Driver PCB separately, that is the goal. The project, once finished would be made available publicly with all the required files so that anyone get create one themselves. If you can help with any of the above or you are interested in this product, please leave a comment below. I have a few other project ideas in the pipeline but we will start with this one Thanks
