So does this allow me to modify a pin ROM file on my PC, then upload it to my machine?

That would be a nice feature. I'd like to take some of the animations that are currently active and replace them with some hidden animations instead.

Has anyone tried some custom work on Tron or TF yet?

I am going to attempt to change some songs in IM tonight.......everyone wish me luck

Success....however my available length for the songs is very short (they are all under one minute). I can only select a part of the song to import, but its working. ACDC is back with Ironman

I know there's always talk about the newer games working (USB supported games)....without scrolling through 21 pages, can anyone tell me if older Stern games work (specifically RCT)? I have been successful in changing my Ironman and working on Tron and Avatar, but was wondering about the older RCT? Can the new image be burned on a chip and swapped out?

Anyone having issues with updating the Luci 1.68 code? I edited the songs and went to import them in 4.0, however it complains that only 24000 is supported (which the songs are)....I open up the 2.0 browser and they import fine. However 2.0 can not change the text for the high score champs (need to change the songs there). If I upload the code from the 2.0 Browser, it works. If I open the code in 4.0 (after using 2.0 to import the songs), then change the H.S. text and save, that code throws the error code 8 and just hoses ACDC

You were right about #1......even after the error, it imported fine

In v.4, I unchecked the auto install patch, made my text changes, then saved out......loaded it up to ACDC and boom....still nothing (just has a blank DMD). I made sure to download a fresh copy of the ROM from Stern and tried one more time...still no luck. For now I have the 2.0 version running which has everything other than changing the high score text since thats not possible in 2.

Ooohhhh, I am not sure...... I'll try that tonight

It worked

Thanks for the help!

Any easy instructions on how to load up Aerosmith to edit?...... I tried to cat the file at the command prompt and got an error.

Also has anyone tried changing the songs on it? .... is the song name text overlayed on the background animations (basically can I change the song name on the screen like the old DMD games)? Figured I would ask ahead of time, while trying to get the ROM to load

thx

Did you have to do anything different between changing GoT music and GotG as far as uploading, settings or modifying? Or is it the same ...edit a song to match the length of the existing song, add it to the file, save to USB, upload to machine

.... I've changed many machines pre-color screen with ease, but want to mess with GotG for a better soundtrack

I had the same issue.

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)

>>(click on the button next to the Open button and select 'Pack firmware for USB stick').

damn ... I didn't see that (and I read through a ton of things)

Let me give it a try now

Looks like I got: guardians-0_85_0.001.000 .... I'll load that up tonight and give it a whirl. Thanks!

I was thinking about picking up an SD card to go that route ... leave the USB to the "retro" Stern games. It sounds like its way easier
