Uploaded 1.02, soon as it is approved.

 

If anyone understand the schematic and PCM lamp/switch matrix better, feel free to suggest corrections.

It's killing my head, and the VP9 table was never right and was missing things

How do you turn up the rom sounds?

How do you turn up the rom sounds?

you dont exactly

 

i can tell you how but it wont save

i probably have to bug report it to vpm team, since vpinmame will not save the volume overdrive amount

 

start table with vpm display showing

put vpm display in focus

hit ~ key

set volume from 0db to 32db

 

now volume is really loud

but on reload it goes back to 0db

 

and even if i put in the registry to be 32db, it does not effect that part of the volume controls

 

it will save nearly everything else you change with the ~ key, but not the volume overdrive

and it wont listen to a reg value higher than 0

less than 0 yes, higher no

 

EDIT

In retrospect, this wont get you a lot of volume increase, more like an increase of gain hiss once you get beyond 10db or so

so probably not worth the effort

I think I found another bug. When you light 1-9 special lights do not come on. I did manage hit something that reset them but not sure what.

did you download table version 1.02?

[bha19]

Version 1.02 has getting center A lights right special and lighting 1-9 lights rotating special but does not seem to score anything when hit.

@itchigo

use the ~ method, but change the <channel #0> Volume as you want. This value will be stored.

That saves, sadly it does not change much

maybe enough for what he needs though?

[digitalarts]

if one want to have the dof effects, add a line in vpmalias.txt:

atarianb,atarians

 

then change cgamename in the script to:

atarianb

 

then change lines 621-622 to:

If keycode=LeftFlipperKey Then  lfon=1: LLFELIPPER:DOF 104,2: end if

If keycode=RightFlipperKey Then rfon=1: LRFLIPPER:DOF 105,2: end if

DOF on the ROM wont fire off the sol callbacks for the flips?

[digitalarts]

oddly not. 

maybe this is the reason why there are the two E104 and E105 commands added in the online config of atarianb

the Atari's seem rather strange animals anyways

kind of a confusing blob of PWM encoded commands

There's somethings weird with this table. Sometimes the score shows some glitched characters, sometimes the coins/players display doesn't work at all and sometimes the ball gets stuck on a cradle.  VPX 10.8 final, atarians.zip MD5 5c40d4f9c3f13f2336efac6f5e374b47  Please fix such a nice table.

Edit: Sorry, today I tried the table once again and it's working just fine. It probably needed to close and reopen VPX.
