Cheers man, just stumbled across this today when I noticed other packages worked fine. Very cool this feature.

[arngrim]

Toxie, the vpm, normal one in the first post is from which revision?

is thee a problem with latest revision with sound mode? seems the value is erased once we go out and back from the rom options of vpm

[toxie]

the one is the latest revision, yes..

[soren]

Thanks so much, Gentlemen. Great work.

[freezy]

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))

 

Where do I set this? Is it in the table script, and if so, what's the sound mode variable called and on which object should I set it?

 

EDIT: Found it in the game settings of VPinMAME. Works great, thanks toxie!

 

EDIT2: Tried it on the cab. Sound Mode is there, but has no value. I can set it, but it keeps coming up empty. I tried setting it as default value, same problem. I just can't set it to any value. On my PC here it defaulted to 0, on the cab it's just an empty field. Any ideas?

 

EDIT3: I can update all other parameters and they get persisted. All but Sound Mode. Win7 with UAC disabled.

i guess you used an old build over from the other forum? there was a problem with that one..

 

EDIT: btw, not VPM news, but new version of pinsound studio: http://www.pinsound....d-studio-v-0-8/

and also not VPM, but a (rather) new, interesting package: http://pinsound-comm...ds&showfile=157

Oh that's entirely possible. Although I thought I took the same version on both systems. Thanks!

 

VPM unrelated: Interesting package v2

[toxie]

i already saw it, looking forward to that, good luck with it!

[RYSr]

 Freezy,

 

Can you clarify where you found the setting in vpinmame?

 

Are you talking about the default setting { sound } in the pinmame registry entry? it's already set to 1

 

I tried running vpinmame setup and didn't see a place for game settings there either?

 

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Rich

you need the new build from the first post..

[freezy]

..or the latest (2.27a) from the other site. You don't need to hack the registry, you can set the sound mode flag under the game settings of each ROM in VPinMAME.

[RYSr]

Thanks Toxie,

I didn't realize that you added it to the regular updates and it was no longer a separate file.

 

I got it working with the #1 option.

 

Tried loading Pinstudio but it didn't connect to VP in step 2, launched both VP and studio from run as admin. Also set the #2 option in pinmame. Does the Pinsound.exe have to be in the VP directory?

 

Will using the #1 option give the same resultant playback as the #2 option with the Studio software running?

I realize if you want to record form VP you need to use the studio, but I'm just interested in the playback right now.

Rich

 

PS: have you found any good support threads for using the Studio with Pinmame?

[toxie]

New VPM builds (normal (incl. PinDMD2) and PinDMD1/3) in the first thread!

 

This time a late easter present (actually it already worked before easter and some finetuning over easter ),

namely vastly improved BSMT2000 support!

That means better sound in all Sega and Alvin G. DMDs, a lot of Data East DMDs (starting with Batman) and a lot of Stern DMDs (ending with Terminator 3).

(Note that due to this, Sega DMDs (and some Sterns) will need their volume levels to be increased by - a lot -, e.g. press keys '9' and '8')

 

In addition, there is better sound (but barely noticable) for Brave Team.

 

And as an additional bonus, a totally new sound core (ported over from MAME/MESS) for some old Sterns (Catacomb, Flight 2000, Freefall, Lightning, Orbitor 1, and Split Second), leading to better speech.

 

Plus the usual support for new ROMs, including the competition MODs by soren.

[toxie]

Any feedback on the new sound cores so far?

Cause obviously i could not test each and every game affected excessively..

[yagesz]

I've checked it out a little bit so far and can notice some difference in the LW3 VPX conversion I'm working on.  It's a little cleaner on the voice samples and in general.  Do you have still recommendations for what the sampling rate should be specifically for that generation Data East?  At the moment I'm just using the default 44100 but I know I've seen recommendations for varying this depending on the emulation.  Maybe that would also help hear the clarity / emulation to it's best potential?  In any case and at 44100, I do hear a decent difference.

 

I thought I had some other issues with the beta but will hold off posting publicly unless I can fully confirm / reproduce.  I mentioned those already though Toxie in that main VPX PM.

[toxie]

All BSMT2000 machines encountered/tested by myself are using 24000Hz output (in theory they could also use 32 or 34KHz).

 

Could you please just mention shortly what you posted as PM? Cause i lost track in the last weeks by the sheer amount of information in there and have yet to catch up, sorry!!  :/

Hi,

First of all,

I would like to thank all for your very hard work put into this.

I am currently using the NVOFFSET Command for the NFL TEAM Table Mods.

I have just finished 10th table and found that it only has capacity of  sharing 10 NVRAM's.

Is it possible to up this capacity in future version of pinmame? Or maybe add 3 more NFL ROMS,(NFL1,NFL2,NFL3) all can be the same rom just with number added, so i can get to the 32 team capacity, so each table will start team it was made for.

Otherwise you can only have 10 tables that start with team it was made for.

I was also thinking of doing Baseball and Basketball Team Tables, so this would come in handy in future also, if it is even possible to up the capacity of the nvoffset command. Or is there any other way of doing this??

Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

its actually a limit inside the core.vbs. the next vp10.1 beta will have the updated script.
