Wowie! Do you mean we could put the table wheel logo on the DMD when scrolling through the tables????
If not, sorry to stir up that pipe dream.

shouldn't be 2 long untill my first batch of 35 boards turn up 
started ordered components for the next batch i make which will probably be 60-100 this time. and now i know what to do they should only take 2-3weeks to make
ill wait a week see how people get on with my first batch before i order the second just to make sure people actually like the thing and they dont all die lol

I think he meant Future Pinball, another pinball software which currently, does not have/allow the use of visualpinmame rom support.

erm, hardware wise it can be interfaced to ANY THING, i can write a custom app that lets you send data to the dmd and it will display what ever you want 
would need to speak to future pinball developers and see if they would want it supported - completely up to them!!
the board it self just accepts a stream of frame data bytes. its the software on the pc that does all the interfacing
and thats the easy part to edit / expand

If I'm not mistaken, Future Pinball development has ceased and is currently in limbo. That being said, this usb DMD controller might be interesting enough to get Future Pinball updated to support it.

any one / any software in c can have my usb class added to it, to be able to send images to the board 
i have even wrote a c socket server that talks to the display and all you need to do is set up a socket and send it dmd frames
, so you can have flash,php/any thing talk to it 
best way is to have the ftdi drivers integrated into the software though like pinmame
