After an extensive session on LOTR last night I couldn't help but wish that
Sterns DMD graphics were as good as Williams seemed to have 10 years ago. I'm
not talking about the content or animations here, but more the ability of Stern
machines to display "half-bright" pixels. Compare LOTR with that of say TOM -
they're worlds apart.
From memory driving a half-bright pixel on these DMDs is not as simple as it
appears, but surely Sterns hardware guys would have figured out the right
approach by now? Or have I overlooked some major issue, like the DMDs are driven
completely different and it just can't be done.
