Yes I have tried!
Of course, same format, same name. I even tried reducing the size of the file so that it is not bigger than the original one and it does not work

may i ask what image you try to modify?

This one

I tried to overwrite and delete + replace with the original file, and black screen too... I think we can't do that thing

downloaded the pro image and tried to test as much as i can without owning the machine. It looks all good.
Maybe you can share some more information, are you using pro or Prem/Le?
What software do you use to write the images to the sd-card.
You said you did sound modifications, the all work?

I replaced the Stern logo on my Aerosmith game with this image but not the start up logo.

Any update on this registration looping issue? It doing it for me as well. Thanks!

So sad... I checked all the scenes and none of them manage the logo of the game which is displayed just after Stern's one.
So I think we can't, but why, I don't know... Even overwriting it with the same file (export + import the exported file) results in a black screen, strange ...

Works great now, thank you!

I made a Led Zep and Motely Crue mix for Aerosmith and decided I'd like to try changing the song title graphics. Also getting my friend's Iron Maiden in a temp trade for Avengers and would like to do the same on that.

Anyone have a quick writeup or tips for importing the new images with a transparent background? I started experimenting, but it goes slow waiting for the image to write and test each change.

I just started playing with the software.
I have a real basic question. How do I get the game code off of the SD card from the machine? It's a flashed file.
I don't want to download the new code from Stern because I like the older code better. Does the Stern site have archived codes you can download?
Thank you.

I may be wrong, but not sure you can get the game code off the original SD card. I think it is best to ask on this thread for the specific game you want the code for and someone likely has an older code that will work with PB. The Stern site does not provide archived codes.

I did a few song icon changes for IM. You can see them in an earlier post. I used paint 3d and just saved the image as translucent and it seemed to work ok.

Thanks, I was certainly over thinking it.

Thanks. I'm looking for BNSOR Pro. I have code 1_01_0 on my card and I am wanting to use this RAW file. I can't find this version on the internet to download (Can't find an archive on Stern's website). And I can't figure out how to "unflash" the two file on the SD card. The two files on the card show up as stern-spike2.dtb and zImage.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks but doing that doesn't find any available files. The two files on the card show up as stern-spike2.dtb and zImage but they do not show up when using the software. I also use balena-etcher but I have not seen an option to read a flashed file unless I'm missing something.
Mark

Thanks oga83.
I'm going to give it a try.
Another Pinside member sent me the game code I was looking for so I may be all good now.

Thank you.
Mark

This does not work on mine. I get "no items match your search". It shows me nothing on my SD Card. It is only searching for img iso and raw files and none of those are the extensions on the SD card. Only files on the card are a dtb file and a zimage file with no extension.
Thanks again.
Mark

Question to oga83 : is there any frequency filtering or dynamic compression when importing a WAV file inside the ROM of a Spike2 game (specifically Star Wars) ?

When comparing Stranger Things and Star Wars soundtrack, the difference in bass response and dynamic range is staggering. Even with stock speakers, Stranger Things sound better than Star Wars with replacement speakers (backbox and cabinet). I did a quick frequency spectrum on the "choose your hero" track from Celofane ROM, and indeed it shows a significant different in terms of bass response compared to the Stranger Things theme. Need to check with the source file if the same applies, but in the meantime it would be useful to know if PB does indeed perform some sound processing when importing (maybe to match ROM file size for ex).

Regards

Aha. OK, I got it to work. All I needed to do was use the dropdown folder and select "read from F" which is my SD Card drive and save as a .raw file and that worked. I did not need to do anything with the smartdmd tab and disk image section. It was all at the top in the firmware section and the folder dropdown.
Thanks again.
Mark

Thanks for the clarification, which raise two questions: so when importing a file which is at a different sampling frequency, PB will re-sample before integrating into the game ROM, correct ? Whereas if the sampling frequency is identical, it will not re-sample ? What should be the file format for minimum conversion stages (ie WAV file, no compression I assume ?)

Also, just to be sure we are on the same page: the low pass filter cutout frequency, if enabled, will cut all frequencies above the defined value in the checkbox, right ? May I know the rationale for this particular setting ?

I want to replace videos and sounds from Elviras House of Horrors.

Since video-files don't contain sound:
Is there a way to find out, which sound-file belongs to which video-file?

Does anyone have a Led Zeppelin Pro code that works on PB they be willing to share? Thanks for the help!

looks like 3 of my tables work w/ PB

Jurassic Park v1.05.0 - current version, easy DL

Aerosmith v1.09.0 - current ver 1.10 but copied & pasted the SD card DL link & changed to 10 to 09 & it DL'd fine. best part is 9 had all the real changes & 10 is basically just the new insider connect which I don't have / need.

The Munsters v1.03.0 - current ver 1.21 so 1.03 is pretty old. is this the accurate version # because it appears people w/ newer than 1.03 have been customizing their unit? I tried the edit the url trick but it didn't work. it's old enough I prob won't use it anyway but I thought I'd ask.

poking around in Aerosmith now.

that one is easy, went to sterns website, got the url for the current version & changed the 14 to 10. this link works & it's DL'd directly from stern

https://f002.backblazeb2.com/file/gamecode/led_zeppelin_pro-1_10_0.Release.8G.sdcard.raw.zip

Munsters, i think version 1.10 was changable with pinball browser, then there was the version 1.11 short after. 1.20 and 1.21 with Insider connected.
1.11 version is donwloadable with the link trick. but i think it was not changeable.
But you could give it a try. The 1.21 version even if not changable is very good version, they did change a lot. It's like a different game now.

This is for my future reference, but anyone else can use the details if they want:

How to change jukebox song names on Led Zeppelin:

Scene #5 - Letters not available (J/Q/X/Y/Z), also various capital letters are not available.

Drill down to final 'Elements' then scroll down to after 'unnamed instance 176 to the song choice. Then drill down to song text box to make change. See previous comment about letter restrictions. Also cannot exceed max letters depending on the song name being changed. Each word is separated by '|'.

Can try to insert a custom letter under 'Glyph' but does not always work.

Does anyone have the Rolling Stones LE code? Don’t see it on the Stern site but it seems to be mentioned in this thread. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the link! Very well hidden on the site.

I am changing out two songs on Metallica, Ride the Lightning (Request 1216) and Creeping Death (Request 719). When you choose the song with the jukebox, the game seems to be playing another short request number that repeats before the ball is shot. Does anyone know what request numbers these would be? Once the ball is shot, it seems to be playing Request 1216/719, which sound fine. It is just the short sound clip that doesn't sound right that I need to fix.

Anyone successful at changing songs on Metallica and run into this issue? It seems to be the same issue on AC/DC where a short intro sound is played before the ball is launched. Thanks for the help!

This is a cool hack, but it looks like Stern is taking down the older versions now. I couldn't hack the address to download Aerosmith 1.09 or Led Zep Premium 1.10.

Hey guys does anyone have Star Wars v1.10.0 sd card image?

I have a copy of the image with Midnight Madness enabled...I haven't tried it yet though.

pro or premium/le version?

When importing sounds, is the volume slider on the import window just for listening to the clip before importing? Or will increasing the volume there also bump up the volume when importing?

I normally increase the volume in Audacity, but if the process can be streamlined, great.

I think it does adjust the volume as this is how I do it.

So what's the trick I'm missing with replacing images? I'm just trying to do basic image replacements on the Aerosmith song selection screen. I found the location of the song images, created my replacement transparent image, but the Import feature when right clicking the image does not save. I import, choose the image I made, which is the same pixel size as the original. But when I open the image, the original is still there.

If I open the image and draw shit all over it and save, that works. But on that editing screen, it won't let me select the original image with the selection tool to delete the image.

Selecting the Undo button on the Edit Image screen will open a select file browser and I can choose my new image and then it adds it over the original. WTF?

Yes indeed it did. I was making a Rush mix for Aerosmith and pumped the volume to 250% and I did nothing with Audacity. Worked and sounded great.

just verified, you're correct. it's not working now.

this is what I'm going to try today. I have a pic of Steven Tyler kissing my wife on stage at Howard Stern's birthday party. it's not the best quality but I have to find a spot that makes sense & get into her table.

That sounds awesome! Let me know how you make out.

oga83 Could you tell us the correct steps so we can stop our trial and mostly error?
