Quoted from paynemic:Also, chad, you're a beast. Great job finding video mode. Let's get that in the code.
While I'm here I'll post on a little problem. Probably sound related. The freeze quote from Vader never plays on my machine. I tried with the old rom and the new anniversary rom. I ordered and replaced sound Roms. Still no Vader quote. It makes a small hiss sound like carbon freezing and the video plays, but no Vader quote. Lots of other sound and quotes that seem correct to me, but I might not know what I'm missing. Any thoughts?
Quoted from ChadH:Anyone have any suggestions for Paynemic? I am out of ideas... other than there might be something wrong with the actual sound board itself or something wrong with the ribbon cable.
I'm not a SW owner, but I have a suggestion that's a bit out there. Several Data East games (TFTC and R&B at least) have a "hidden" sound test menu that allows you to test each sound (not just the few in the speaker test). You could install the CPU and Display ROMs for one of these games and test each of the 256 indexed sounds on the sound board one by one. I would definitely disconnect all of the coils/solenoids FIRST to avoid the possibility of damaging something. I assume Chad would have mentioned it if SW had the sound test. I can't think of anything that would go wrong with the coils disconnected, but you might wait for Chad to chime in. Chad might even be able to tell you which sound number is the one you're looking for. Obviously, this wouldn't fix the problem, but it might let you know if you are missing any other sounds.
