Click on “config” and make sure it says “legacy” for sound playback.

When I tried this on crossover it didn’t matter what I set the sound in config to, kept getting same error.

That worked for me. Thanks.

I got the mono file to bite (I think). saved PB.exe to my desktop and this was the command I used:
mono desktop/Pinball-Browser.exe

I got a bunch of programming mumbo jumbo. sent it to oga83

Hopefully he can figure it out, I’m thinking this should be easier than running through the crossover and windows.

A few observations using Mac with crossover.

If I launch crossover or pb.exe from launchpad it doesn't work and I have to force quit.

If I launch pb.exe from my desktop it won't work.

If I launch pb.exe from my downloads folder it works as long as I input the following each time:
Select Application: Microsoft .net 4.0
Select Installer: PB.exe (automatically selected)
Select Bottle: Microsoft .net 4.0 again

Is this your experience too cleland ? and are there any shortcuts that can be setup?

with pinball browser open and after I open the code file (for me its GOT_PRO-1_34.spk), sound will only work by going to config > legacy sound file; as Cleland mentioned earlier.

Also, it seems when I save files on my desktop, it actually saves them on iCloud/desktop. And if I save it on documents, its iCloud/documents. Is there a way on Mac to save files locally other than the downloads folder?

Thanks in advance.

Is this something you would be willing to take donations for to help with development efforts?

Great - I will gladly help out with more donations since I converted to Mac.

Thanks!

oga83 : I have used your software for change some musics on my potc, and I would like to thank you personnaly for this wonderful tool you have made !!

Having an issue, working on applying Mike D's ACDC macro to my Luci and she is not liking it. I downloaded the latest code from stern ACD168LE.bin The SmartDMD macro matches version: -- Pinball-Browser Macro for AC/DC v 1.68

updated: comm116 to comm119
uncommitted: PalatteMode, 1

When the code is applied on startup it starts making a buzzing speaker sound, over and over and does nothing else.

Here is the first few lines of code. Anyone have any ideas for me?

-- Pinball-Browser Macro for AC/DC v1.68
CheckVersion,"AC/DC",0x168
LoadHex,"comm119.hex"
-- The following 2 lines are for Side-Channel :
PaletteMode,1
-- Entry,3,0x4110000,24321
-- The following 2 lines are for In-Frame :
-- PaletteMode,0
-- PaletteId,080a090b
ExtendMemory
-- Uncomment the following line to protect the firmware :
-- Needs to be done before releasing the product !
-- Protect
EditImage,0x5BC
{
ReplaceColor,63,6,0,0,1,9,15
ReplaceColor,26,8,0,0,1,15,15

Did you install main theme song somewhere? If so can you tell me what file you got rid of?

if you are using the latest version of pinball browser, change the line of code in the macro from:
LoadHex,"comm119.hex"
to:
LoadHex,"comm132.hex"

and set

PaletteMode, 2
PaletteCom, 2

for serial sidechannel

Starts up fine on High Sierra. Do you have a hint how to make sound playback work ?

Got it working too. But also not getting sound with config > sound > set as Legacy. Sound does work with crossover when set as legacy.

So we can run the browser on Mac as long as we download mono?

No more fiddling with crossover or windows boot camp etc....?

What version of PB can export sounds and where can I download it?

Yea, but the sound isn't working, but Olivier is working on it. Hopefully soon

Also, I had to perform these commands in terminal to get it working:

cd /Users/breitel/Downloads/PinballBrowser620-Beta1

MONO_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/

mono --arch=32 Pinball-Browser.exe

...then it takes about 30 secs to load. It's close to working, just need sound now

Any chance in the future that pinball brouwser works with wpc 95 games ?.
I ask this question 2 years ago and people said 3.0 hahaha.

Hello everyone.
I am new to this forum. I came across Pinside because I have dealt with the subject of SmartDMD and find this system very good. So far I have always colored the WPC devices in 4 colors. Have then read on the Internet that there are also colored Rom´s for the Stern devices. Has anyone already done one for the Star Trek Premium, and I can not tell me where I can download this. I would be very happy about that. Of course I would also make a donation for the forum.
Best regards Oliver

No

I thought you mean directly play when started with sudo. I can´t export because I only registered 5.x so far.
Just made another donation. Export works fine now and playback of that export works also.

Can you extract music from the original code to your desktop? I want to obtain one of the original pieces of music and then put it back into my updated code.

I exported a sound as a wav file and could play it back. I haven´t tested the import, but I think that should also work.

how did you do that?

awesome thanks guys!

Still get the same sound error. can't hear it. Donation sent. When I get the license key I'll try to export and play.

OK got the license file in, exported the sound file and it plays fine; just doesn't play in PB.

disregard screenshot. It does play the sound file, it just doesn't make a sound. This is on Config > Legacy

Also, Mac's mouse scroll doesn't work with PB. Pretty sure mouse scroll works with windows?

EDIT: It does seem to work with a wireless Mac mouse, but very inconsistent. Doesn't work with the MacBook touch pad scrolling.

silly question:
if you're attempted to change the graphics using the default stern [grayscale] palette, do you need any of the following at the top of the macro file (or is this explicitly for use with the smartdmd product)?

LoadHex,"comm132.hex"

-- the following 2 lines are for Side-Channel
--PaletteMode,1
--PaletteComm,2

-- the following line is for In-Frame
--PaletteMode,0

I’ll check later tonight when I get home, but the exported sound plays sound and the pb sound plays sound when I open with crossover.

As far as I know there is no alsa port for OSX. OSX uses Coreaudio instead.
Maybe it is possible to configure mono to use coreaudio

seems to be an issue with editing Guardians ..... I open up the spike file, change out two songs (Hooked on a feeling and ain't no mountain as these are boring during game play). I import two new songs from the GotG soundtrack that I edited for length (kept in stereo). Listen to make sure the upload works, then hit save. I get a popup that the application is not responding then it stops. Any time after pressing the save button does nothing.

Any ideas on this (using 6.11)

Thanks

Its a spk file for a pro..... I open the original file *.spk.002.000 and it does the processing. After that, it creates the two files *.dat and a 4.3gb *.spk . Any edits are done to the .spk file without saving, however that size file can not be loaded on a thumb drive. I thought reading the notes that the Pin Browser split the file up. For some reason, the original file that I loaded is not modified (see date stamps)
