I personally think it is more trouble than it is worth. I would not want those high voltages in my cabinet. I have two real DMD's on my shelf that I could have used. I am happy with the LED version.
Sorry for the delay but here some pictures on the XpinPinball display with Russ board.
I have two lines out on this test display but as you can see it works great.
This is there 5v version

He is going to send me a display to test. I work with [email protected] and Russ to make sure they work well with Russ’s board. I will take pictures post them here if it working. His pricing is decent and they can have some ready I think August.
I do think the blue will look good on Tron.
The last three pictures are Xpinball display working with Russ board.
I talked to Brett a very nice guy making pinball replacement displays. He Company is www.xpinpinball.com and he is producing 5v DMD. They even offer different colors. I asked him to post his details here. I will post some images for him.The last three pictures are Xpinball display working with Russ board.
I really think you are on the something. When you have a really fast CPU the hardware keeps up fine.
This supports your theory completely that it is the software communicating not the hardware.
What all is the new hardware and software controlling?
Is it controlling all the feedback and all the flashers or just the new flashers on the sides?
BTW new led’s look very cool.
