I got pretty far with it. There one image for an album cover in my case for one album cover other than that Im happy with results. I kept it zeppy just songs li liked better. I also changed all the high score names and such to reference the respective titles. It was very easy.

Big money is a game mode and a selectable song. Use Request#60 for the song to select at the beginning

Im having a problem with PB 8.10 and 8.12 (haven't tried previous ones for this). When I try to import a video it gives a very weird FFMPEG error screenshot attached. Basically looks like a path/permission problem but its breaking it. Any thoughts on the cause of this error? Thanks!

Yes its in the same folder (also tried 'ffmpeg' folder inside PB). I can run the command line of it and it works fine. When I try to view videos (ffplay.exe) inside PB its blank, and whenever i do import video, unless i say 'no conversion' it gives the FFMPEG error in the screenshot. I wondered if its antivirus preventing the opening of the file? Has anyone anywhere had this problem? I have whitelisted the file in AV scanning etc. Thanks!

This happens for me also. I have been able to import different videos for different songs a few times, but never more than one video without corrupting the rom. Please help us fix this.

I never get to the point to burn the image. When I import a video file into Rush in PB, then i close the file, when i reopen it in PB it immediately says "Unknown Firmware". I will try the advices of the link in the thread. Rest assured since the moment PB 8.10 came out I have been messing with this, re encoding, re importing, re doing it over and over. Everything except video importing is golden so THANK YOU!. I would hug you so hard.

I tried to use the advice of foofighter in post #4027. I did all the editing, imported the videos, closed the files, and burned the image with PB without closing it. It goes to a boot loop on the real machine. If i try to reopen that file it says 'Unknown Firmware'.

Bit of good news - I can say all the audio, text, and image imports work fine on the .96 firmware. . If I could just resolve the video import it would be 100%. Thanks!

Thank you for this. So far i have gotten it to work with 2 different imported videos where it would open again. Never have i gotten it to work importing a 2nd video.

Yes I converted the videos with Handbrake many diffferent permutations. They dont matter. I can import without conversion because if i dont it give a big ugly error. I dont understand THAT probiem because i run it as admin of "d:\PB813" folder. FFMPEG.EXE, FFPLAY.EXE, FFPROBE.EXE are all in the same folder.

Are there any known issues related to Antivirus or PC Firewall that would break this? Even if I import 1 video and try to reopen it almost every time it say 'Unknown Firmware'. This is very frustrating as it seems like im the only one having an issue on a Windows 10 Pro 64bit PC with all latest updates.

i will try with some other game images thats a good idea. If I get it working i can do a bunch of different videos for led zep too. This is Rush LE. Tonite I made a little progress. Manually exported each video file and use ffprobe.exe to get the file attributes, then manually did ffmpeg.exe to those same codec, framerate, resolution. That helped a little i was able to import videos to different slots, save the file, and open it again. Unfortunately i still cant get 2 files imported without corrupting the firmware image. I guess the YYZ video is top choice but putting the web-comic animation over the 2112 song would be pretty sweet.

On the same computer I am able to open LezdZep 1.15 and import multiple video files into it without problems, then reopen it with no problem. On Rush I have tried with 4 different songs, imported video, first ones always fine. The 2nd one no matter which permutation (there have been MANY permutations) always fails with "Unknown Firmware".
I appreciate your help. It was a crash course in FFMPEG getting the files converted for each slot to match the same resolution, duration, encoder, color map, and bit rate for each song to very closely match the original file (just a hair shorter to be safe).

This works:

Sorted out the worst of the issues. With help from a very intuitive knowledgable person. I feel like at this point any audio, any size track, any video length should probably be ok as long as it fits on the SD Card.:

Tom Sawyer -

Roll the Bones Rap -

Limelight -

2112 -

PB I think is choking on the files because of the very large size. Its definitely a huge help but for that portion it just breaks.

So LZ is up to 1.17 and Rush is up to 1.01 - any hope of being able to alter sound files on versions newer that 4 or 5 .releases ago? Could you help us locate the audio in the raw images so we could have a go at finding the right codecs? I am ok with an old version the hell with not having custom audio but would be nice to be able to keep up with code. Please tell me you havent given up on these newer revisions to customize audio? Thank you regardless for your amazing work. Loving my 'Dad Band' basement. Even the covers have to be customized.

Thank you PB Man.

Putting pinball online is completely pointless. Its really about tracking and auditing for Stern. "Achievements". Pointless. You get multiball, you get a jackpot. Pinball is fun. Its not a PS5 you are playing a simple game that hasnt changed in 50 years. I will never connect my machines to the internet.
