I just replaced all the songs in Kiss 1.28 with live versions and a couple of different songs. Seems that some of the songs (even with the original songs) don't play in their entirety but have loop points. Case in point, Hotter Than Hell is a 3+ minute song but it loops back to the beginning at around 2:16. I verified this in the original by letting it play through with the ball in the shooter lane. Any chance of finding where those loop points are and modifying them?

I've also noticed that if you set start time to skip for example the first 30 sec of a song, that 30 sec still counts towards the overall song length. PB just skips that 30 sec during playback. It would be nice to adjust the factory loop points. But still PB is the best mod in pinball!!

should be possible with pin sound,soon

That would be great - any idea how soon?

I think the problems with pinsound might be similar. You're still limited by the requests the software makes right? If a request is 30 seconds then you only have a 30 second block of a sound to add before another overlapping sound is played. My issue with Elvis and the track that was repeating sounds like it would do the same in pinsound as the CPU makes multiple requests for the same sound

Does anybody know how the license system works ?

I made a donation but still have restrictions within the program.

All sorted now. Thanks Olivier.
Might I suggest that once the program has been unlocked that the donation and register link disappears.

I've changed out a bunch of songs on the met-pro. Other than going back to the stock rom version, is there a way to bring back a individual Metallica song to original size and location?

I love the browser, lots of fun changing up the voice call outs and songs.

every time you change a BIN a macro file is created ... easiest way to go back in time is to run the macro on the stock rom and delete the entry you want to change back. you can modify the macro in notepad or within the browser.

Interesting problem here, modifying GOT. I recorded a few of The Hound's callouts, using Audacity and loopback recording (WASAP). They sound perfectly normal in Windows and in the import preview, but when I import them over an existing callout they're sped up about 500% - it sounds like The Chipmunks. I haven't tried flashing the game with the new code so I don't know whether it's just a problem with the playback in Pinball Browser. Will report back soon.

The Hound saying "For f*&k's sake!!!" has to be one of the best Tilt sounds ever recorded. Not as good sped up

I've tried 3 or 4 different ones with the same result. I'll try flashing the game to see if it's normal there.

Ah, this is my problem. I probably used the wrong sample rate when I recorded. Off to do some conversion...

OK, I see the problem now. The sound scripts from 0x09-0x19 are clearly labeled "Undersampled: 2x". I guess I'd need to do some preprocessing to modify sounds in this range.

EDIT: Ugh, I'm having the same problem modifying other sounds (e.g. 0x3FB, "Amazing"). I've tried both 24k and 44.1k versions.

EDIT 2: I can modify sounds marked "Stereo" with no problem. So maybe I need to convert the others to mono...

EDIT 3: no, Mono didn't help.

The easiest way is to use an earlier version of PB that allowed exporting. Then load the stock rom and export that one song. Then load your modified rom and import the original song back in. Modify the song messages if necessary.

This is easy to fix.
1. Export the sound clip with an earlier version of PB or Use whatever sound capture software you're comfortable with
2. With Audacity use the "change tempo" modification. This will keep the pitch the same. Double the time of your "chipmunk " clip. The result will be exactly what you want and expect.
3. The clip was also down sampled. Try decreasing 1 to 3 do and then boosting the sound with the "compressor" mod. You'll need to experiment a bit.

Unfortunately- there is no pbb version that both supports Spike AND provides exporting. Exporting died before Spike compatibility.

True, but easy to work around with Audacity and Windows loop back recording. Then export selections from that recording - tedious, but workable.

removed

There's no preview available.

you've confused me. I didn't touch the palette or images. I only replaced sound files. Also, preview is not necessary. it's a pinball rom. save it to an empty formatted USB stick, place into avengers machine, flip dip switch 8 in the backbox to on then turn on machine and follow simple prompts.

Hmm Question
Will this open Gilligans Island sounds?
Has anyone done this.

I have 5.76. Any luck figuring out the problem?

Thanks! - John

Anything like pinball browser to modify jjp pins?

Just cracked open the new 1.05 Ghostbusters Premium/LE code.

I didn't see a way to view the LCD images used in the "Ecto Googles".

At first glance, it would seem obvious that this needs to be specially coded for in a newer version of Pinball Browser, but then I thought that this was already supported with WWE LE's LCD video.

But 1.05 is the initial software download for the Premium and LE. How does it not contain the LCD images?

So there's no way to do a "Clean Install" with these delta downloads? Interesting...

I don't know about the service menu....haven't received my Premium yet.

Spike games have an sdcard. You can always image that card to get the whole firmware and OS. There was an analysis of the card showing which partition contained the game data.

You can extract a rom from a machine by setting dip switch 8 on and searching thru menu's?

For the last three years, I've been using an older version for MET. I played around with many song changes, sound effects, and sound changes. I now have a KISS, and so I upgraded to the current version (5.76). Donation, license code, etc.

Here are the problems I'm having:

I can't play/preview the sounds. I get the error message in the screenshot pictured below. Also, when I try to import a song, I get a message that it can't determine the duration. What steps am I missing?

Thanks Olivier! That worked. I'm using Vista.

Your pinball machine is nine years newer than your computer's operating system. What an incredible time to be alive!

If you are stating here you are using a pin2dmd rgb led display you are correct, no side channel possible. Side channel only works with total smartdmd solution with raspberry pi
