Star Wars
Data East, 1992I have a couple of versions that I've done just that, built on the other 2 but eliminating all DE music. Version 1 is OST mostly from the trinity. The 2nd is a Mecco disco version, surprisingly fun! I've been meaning to upload for months, I will do it very soon...

That would be awesome!! Let us know when you do!
Quoted from Vader77:They are uploaded but pending approval. Let me know what you think and enjoy!
Awesome! I'm just hooking up my Pinsound so will definitely be downloading it once it's online
Quoted from Vader77:They are approved and ready to download!
Hmm, I the original, Julian and one by Pinhead - is that yours?
Quoted from wolfemaaan:Hmm, I the original, Julian and one by Pinhead - is that yours?
Nope, Vader77
(The disco mix would make me more of a pinbooty than pinhead)

Ok, they’re not online yet. All good I’m still messing with my speakers. Will be downloading as soon as they post it
Very cool, you already got over 50 downloads. I’m grabbing it as soon as I get my Pinsound connected tomorrow
Anyone else having major issues downloading files from the Pinsound Community? I have tried all day to download these files from different computers on different ISPs and I never get a speed higher than 400kps and it stalls out around 50% every time. Anyone already have the files on their local computer and could share a quick dropbox link or something like that?

Maybe everybody is download Vader’s remix?
So I finally got my legs back on my Star Wars, wow this Pin is tall AF! Does everybody’s measure 78” to the top of head? My KISS is only 71”. Seems almost too high but I have the stock/standard 28” legs on

Mine is 77.25". But I replaced the ugly rusted DE legs with Williams style legs. They are 28.5". I have the levelers out 1.75"s in the back to get the 77.25" height. Replaced the legs on LAH with the Williams also.

Yeah their site is pretty slow. Not timing out yet but it’s laggin
Question. Does everyone here have an extruding playfield R2D2 on the middle right? I also seem to have thin plastic covering over several of the playfield areas IE over X-wing fighters, in front of the sling shots, etc.
Is Embossed R2D2 a stock playfield item? It gives the ball some lift.
Are these other items added later as an attempt to protect the playfield?
The only reason I ask is it affects the ball flow quite a bit. If it’s stock, then that’s what is intended. If not, I’m going to contemplate on removing them as long as it does damage the playfield
Curious how everyone else’s playfield are
Quoted from drummermike:My playfield also has the plastic over R2D2 and the other spots. It is hard to see most of them.
Yeah from reading other threads, appears to be Mylar. Just wondering if that was a stock item or after market. The R2D2 though definitely seems like part of the playfield. Maybe to deliberately give lift in the ball when hitting that lane. I actually got the ball stuck on one which made me start wondering
THANK YOU SIR!!!!!
I got your mix installed in my game last night and am absolutely loving it! I love the more subdued nature of it - the "horn-only" quiet theme music during the score tally after a ball drain is a great break in the action and lends a more serious tone to the overall package. The ramp shot sound is now an authentic tie fighter movie sound and not so "in your face". The revised match sequence sounds are great, the post game Darth Vader breathing is great.
I love all of the added sounds from various movie cannons and weapons, the lightsaber sounds, etc. You did a great job making the best of what was already out there and polishing it up!
My only critiques would be relative to the sound volume balancing. The pre-plunge Han Solo dialogue is a bit to quiet, some of the other movie dialogue is hard to make out as well in various spots but this is a super minor thing overall.
I also downloaded the Disco mix and plan to try that some other time but again, thank you so much for the effort man, I am really glad I asked about this!!
Quoted from Dkjimbo:THANK YOU SIR!!!!!
You are welcome and thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you rattled my cage, sometimes I need prodding!
You'll find that there are a lot of variations in the pre-plunge. I just sliced up the audio from most of the major battles. So, the dialogue is a little low because of the extra battle sounds in there (if I remember right). I tried to crank and sweeten anything I could, especially the DE sounds that remain.
The disco one is fun, I load it up for parties. I didn't replace many of the DE sounds in it as they seemed more appropriate and I was running out of steam!
Thanks for the feedback and glad you like it!
Man, I’ve been trying to get to my Pinsound install for weeks now and something else comes up. But I think tonight’s gonba be the night and first thing is getting Vader’s remix loaded
I see there is a Firmware for the Pinsound Board - is this pretty straight forward? This is probably the only thing in the way of getting this online
Ok, got the firmware installed,but the sound zips aren’t loading for me. I’m reading you have to use a USB 3.0. I only have 2.0s so guess I’m gonna have to pick some up (or my drives are bad). I tried a couple although the firmware seemed to load fine. Man there’s always something
Quoted from lucidhate:Hey everyone, has there been any attempt to 3D print R2D2’s body? Mines getting brittle and I’d rather try and find a solution before it breaks. Thanks!
I wonder if there is any demand for this to make it worth while.
I don't personally need one though so I'd need a good reason to spend time on it.
I just had a look at mine and the geometry seems fairly simple. Might take 3-4 hours of modelling including revisions.
Depending on how long it takes to make I may just put it up on thingiverse.
If you were to print one yourself I'd suggest hand sanding it, priming and then doing a top coat of white paint otherwise it will look like a cheap 3d print (which it would be 
). Sanding and priming can remove the visible layers. Example below.
My only issue is that I have a prototype machine so i'll have to get someone to look at the pics of my r2 and see if it matches a production machines r2.
My R2 head itself is significantly different (seems hand made) but I don't think that should be an issue for the body.
Quoted from wolfemaaan:Also, for my next project - ROM upgrade to 1.07
Anybody know what the detail is of these 2 ROMs? There appears to be a Display ROM version and CPU version. Do you upgrade both?
You only need the CPU ROM (v.1.07). Your Display ROM is good.
Quoted from ChadH:You only need the CPU ROM (v.1.07). Your Display ROM is good.
Thanks Chad! Can't wait to try it out

Yeah if it’s accurate, you would sell out. Not sure if a single person has a perfect R2D2 dome and couldn’t use a backup
Ok, so after several weeks, stripping, cleaning, ordering parts, re-ordering wrong parts, Frankensteining parts, soldering, replacing boards, fuses, bulbs, burnt idc connectors, and a pair of bloody knuckles, it’s done!
Saved the Pinsound for last, loaded the stock roms, adjusted the equalizer.
Then I downloaded Vader’s OST. Woooww!!! What a payoff, worth every dollar, minute, bloody knuckle I put down! Thanks Vader - you rock!
And no, that wasn’t a tear in my eyes, these onions in here must be pretty wild
I put this machine together for my brothers 50th Birthday. We used to play like crazy when we were kids at a 7/11 down the street. We lost my younger brother earlier this year and I can’t pretend there isn’t something missing now. Hopefully this will let us escape for a minute, I can sure say i did while I was building it.
He’s a huge Star Wars fan, so this machine while I love it, wasn’t for me. He has no idea but I’m expecting he’s gonna have some wild onions at his house when I drop it off.
What a great machine though, hats off to Data East!

Not the dome just the body. I don't have a reference for the head so couldn't do one.
This is mine.
I think alot of people would buy the body as in many instances the original has heat damage from flashers.
Quoted from Vader77:what is that behind your deathstar?!?!

Note: for the anally inclined... the black 3/8" right out hole rubber ring is the
---- fat "pregnant" style. 545-5348-03. If you want your game OEM.
Quoted from PACMAN:[quoted image]
Quoted from Vader77:Looks great, great story, sorry about your brother, thanks for compliment and what is that behind your deathstar?!?!
It's a Wampa - it was my brother's and he used to play with when he was a kid. I figured its the safest place to keep it 
By the way Vader - got a sample of your Disco mix and that's totally getting play this weekend with my Disco ball
Quoted from PACMAN:[quoted image]
You are correct Pacman - I got the idea I believe from you. I think your the one who posted it first, and its perfect
Quoted from Vader77:Awesome! Glad you like it! I thought it was a Wampa (didn't remember the name tbh) I would like to see a closer pic if you don't mind...
I like how the Bill Murray song goes on when you start a new game, happy accident.
I’ll shoot Wampa when I get home. You should add Bill doing the Star Wars sound effects at the end of the game. There is a blank sound slot there and would be perfect. Otherwise I might tweak your Disco edit. BTW, that made me really star to think of other edits BTW. Pinsound is soooo FN cool
Quoted from Vader77:I'm not familiar with him doing sfx??? Got a link?
Actually it’s the 2001 Space Oddysey theme at the beginning of the skit

Here is Wampa. I got a bread tie on him so it doesn’t move around. He’ll catch the ball if it’s off. Kind of reminds me of Disneyland’s Matterhorn Mountain ride when you sling right around a similar looking beast
