b2s is using vpinmame.controller and extend it for bg and dof if i'm not mistaken?
you can use b2s without having a backglass actually

[toxie]

indeed.. we really need some better solutions for DOF and B2S at some point.. volunteers? 

 

and now watch this:

cool!

[toxie]

update time:

 

- New option for the sound processing: Sound Mode, where:
  0 = standard builtin PinMAME emulation
  1 = builtin alternate sound file support
      (store the alternate sound files in a PinSound-like directory structure (incl. textfiles for ducking and gain),
       within a new PinMAME directory subfolder 'altsound' and there within the machines shortname subfolder,
       e.g. for ij_l7: 'C:\PinMAME\altsound\ij_l7\'
       or for an example alternate sound file for tz_94h: 'C:\PinMAME\altsound\tz_94h\jingle\000064-load_gumball_pt_1\load_gum__LEGACY.ogg')
  2 = external pinsound, 3 = external pinsound + psrec sound recording
      (must have PinSound Studio 0.7 or newer running at the same time:
       make sure that the windows permissions match between PinSound Studio and Visual PinMAME/Pinball, e.g.
       if one is using admin permissions when running, then both need to be started with that (or the other way round))

- optional PinDMD 3 handling

 

- add hook_401p (4.01 with Prototype Sound from ipdb)

 

 

EDIT: I also added PinMAME and PinMAME32 executable builds now..

Thanks Toxie for this update

I've updated our website, the latest PinSound Studio can now be downloaded: http://www.pinsound....insound-studio/

 

2 demos of Visual Pinball + PinSound audio engine:

Thanks to you guys for making this possible and implementing the bridge to PinSound! 

[arngrim]

thank you, will try it soon

[ClarkKent]

Does this mean that the volum control files of PinSound works now?

The PinSound Studio software embeds the same audio engine as the PinSound board. So yes, it should works

I just tried some sounds files but volume control doesn't seem to work (sound option 1)...

Edited by ClarkKent, 19 February 2016 - 05:05 PM.

[toxie]

option 1 is the same as the experimental stuff i posted earlier in this thread. i kept it around, because

a) why delete if its already there?

b) because PinMAME likes open source code

c) for people that are too lazy to use PinSound Studio

 

but if you can, use option 2, as this has the original PinSound code support, same as the hardware.

What is needed to finally add GI Support for Stern Roms?? That is something bugging me for years now.

I have replaced the old PinMAME32 with the new one, when I start the new PinMAME32 a message tells me that is not a valid Win32 application.
I have Win XP.

Couple of questions.

 

In the future any chance adding a 16 color check box as an option in pinmame so we dont have to load pallet files for the color sam roms?

It would be great if there was better integration for loading dmc files or possibly putting the dmc file in the sam directory as the rom and having pinmame use the values in the dmc file.

 

Besides what I mentioned are there any plans of adding more any other color dmd features to pinmame in the future?

[freneticamnesic]

Toxie doesn't do any development for the Sam vpm

True.. Forgot to enable XP support in the compiler settings.. :/

Is it really important? Then i would enable it and recompile 'soon'..

[kiwi]

Absolutely is not important, I have no hurry.

 

Thanks

Would be a cool option to have full colorization support. Unfortunately the whole color pipeline is only fledged out for 4 colors, and the 6 shades (gottlieb, alvin g.) and 16 shades variants are only hacked in.

I made some progress in the last months (some of it ended up in the native support for the DMD rendering in VPX). But a lot still misses for the full support. But i have this on my todo-list.

As for the still missing Stern features support: Unfortunately the main guy that did most of the code vanished a looooong time ago, and i basically know not much about all this, and gaston is mostly busy with other emulation code.

Hi there, I installed the new pinsound enabled VPM and the pinsound studio as well and all went well.

 

Tested with the metal TFTC version and installed it in pinsound studio, it appears as as an installed package but 

I cannot get the rom from the list in the right hand side pane tftc_303 to assign to the package.

 

VP starts and I can see the COM object talking to pinsound studio but it fails with a no package is assigned for the rom name error.

 

When I do select a rom name from the right and lick on the <- arrow it appears below the package name and I get a tick when I save (green) but

it never seems to stay assigned.   Just wondering if you had any pointers to what may be causing this?

 

Cheers.

Hi Dozer,

 

I had the same issue with TFTC, couldn't "register" ROMs names in PSS.

 

What I did to solve this is to delete the C:\PinSoundStudio\audio\TFTC_1.3-JULIEN42\rules.txt, and relaunch PSS. Then I could register ROMs with TFTC sound package, and it works great (the Metal package is just woaw )

 

I think (but I'm not sure), that the first line in the default rules.txt (0 preload 68 69 83 85 86 87 88 90 117 123 124 125 126 131 133 144 153 156 219 223) must have some interest for the PinSound card, but not for VPM.
