vpinmame has long had a problem with volume adjustment.

Volume adjustment using the Tilde menu is very useful.

But, Currently, the volume of Tilde menu is not saved in cfg, but would it be difficult to improve it so that it can be saved?

Are you talking about the VPinMame 3.6 beta version?

 

The extra volume function, the possibility of having the volume above 0db,

has just been added and perhaps is not fully implemented, it will certainly be improved in future releases.

Yes, I'm using VPinMame 3.6 beta.

I'm talking about the OSD master volume.

Supported in VPinMAME-3.6.0-921-b041a5c.

Can confirm! For Torpedo Alley's historically low volume, every time i played i used to have to do the cumbersome process of:

OLD PROCESS:
F1 in game (or Test vpinmame rom in Setup64)

show vpinmame DMD, save that config, exit vpinmame screen, f3 restart rom, click on dmd screen if hopefully i could find it on my 3 screens, do shift tilde, right arrow 12 times to raise vol from 0 to 12 db with the on screen display, shift tilde again to exit, alt tab to get back focus to my game.

repeat every time i played, since it wouldn't save.

 

Now INSTEAD, with latest VPinMame 3.6, just go to the table script and add this statement in with the other .statements in your With Controller init routine (starts around line 174 in JPJ's great 2.2 version of Torpedo Alley).

 

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("volume") = 12 'setting rom above 0db is now available in latest vpinmame 3.6

 

thank you thank you VPinMame Team!!!

Good to know rudil 👍🏻
FWIW, it possible to save the tilde ROM adjustments, you just need to add a final step after raising the volume: right click on DMD, select Game Options and click OK in that dialogue.

Yes, the tilde volume setting will be saved by opening the F1 menu.
