I thought the h-5 was without profanity and h-6 was with?
and what led patch?

I got the soren and h-6 working, but haven't ever tried the led patch, cause I've never heard of it. ( I have a lot of ghosting led's as well)
then I got the soren and lx_4 working, because I found out h-6 it was freeplay only.

What callouts are changed in the profanity roms? How bad is the language? Not sure if I want to put it in or not.

Thanks

I run the profanity.

It is not just sound.
The display spells it out for you as well.

Make sure you are patching the correct ROM. Soren's patch is probably for a specific version and may not work right if you use others.

I think you would want patch Stock ROM -> Soren -> LED.

The way I understand Soren's patch tool works you must use the specific ROM intended for that patch. Appling the patch to a different ROM version you would probably end up with the a checksum error (credit dot?) and if the code is different enough you may get some unintended consequences like a lock up.

If installed correctly, I don't think the ghosting patch would be the culprit. FWIW, I was running custom speech ROMs in my STTNG with the ghosting patch, and had no problems.

Edit: Oops! I just realized that doesn't answer your question.

Try contacting "destruk" over at VPForums. That guy will surely have some answers for you.

Got a rom question! I’m putting my new Demolition Man on location and the rom I purchased it with is Free Only, I cant seem to change it even in custom. Wondering if anyone out there could point me in the right direction on which rom to purchase and where?!

Thank you

My patches and the no LED ghost patch may be run in any order - I think. But to verify by the documented SHA1 in the Readme.txt, the order should be original->rules mod->no ghost. So that is recommended.

The SHA1 verification may be done with online services (just remember you share you data files with them). I recommend

Very easy to use. Remember to set it to SHA1.

Thanks for the interest.

A credit dot? That should be explained when entering the menu. What does it say?

No ghost LED patching is of no interest, sorry. As for the patcher tool, I assume it is just looking for a certain few lines of code and changes them, if found (later WPC games). Doesn't really matter what game it is. Or what revision. Or if it is fan modded.

After you apply all the patches you want you will have to correct the checksum with something like WPCTool.... each patch possibly might be changing the overall rom checksum directly rather than in its local area.

For people wondering about the technical details of the ghosting patching, the author's explanation is here:
https://emmytech.com/arcade/led_ghost_busting/index.html

The patch program itself was removed at the request of the copyright holders, but all the information is still there for the reading.

Please clarify. Is the checksum error in status report for the "sound board"? Or "u6"?

This LED fix whirlwind has caused much confusion. But also been a learning experience that is highly appreciated. I did not realise, that the "ghost fix" that was introduced by ??? in 2011 (thanks) was infact inspired by an upgrade in the lamp refresh procedure that Williams did themselves in 1994. No offense to the "ghost fix" but this legitimises the change to me. My thought about it was, that if it fixes how LED lamps appear, does that then make incadecent lamps worse.

I have decided to start using this upgrade. Which should make the mods work with LEDs out of the box. No need for secondary patching. And to update the previously released mods: Addams, Creature, Getaway and Demolition Man LX-4.

The Demolition Man LH-6, and the mod version of this, is already upgraded AND SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE PATCHED FOR NO LED GHOSTING.

If some of you experience that the Demolition Man LH-6 (factory and mod) has LED lamps appear as ghosting, please let me know.

If some of you would like to test the Demolition Man LX-4 mod with the no ghost change applied, please let me know.

LH-6 (factory and mod) is the swear sound ROMs version.

This is the LH-6 to use with the swear sound ROMs. I should have no LED ghosting out of the box. If you experience any, please let me know.

The LX-4 mod is updated with the LED friendly lamp procedure.

The LH-6 one is already updated from factory. No need for LED patching.

I need someone who will burn me a adult romset like above if possible - please pm me

PM sent

Can anyone tell me where to get the files so I can have adult roms and the fixes notes above?

Qweempose has kindly agreed to burn for me, need files. Or happy to buy a set from someone

Thanks

Anyone know where to get the files

I'm in the same boat... can anyone pm me a link to the files (latest LH-6 mod)? Thanks

Can you please post or PM a new link for these Demolition Man ROM(s)?

The home ROMs have been on ipdb for the longest time at the following:

https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?gid=662

If you use good quality LEDs, you shouldn't have any ghosting. I just did another DM about a year ago with LEDs in all GIs and inserts. Programmed ROMs with this home version found on ipdb and had zero issues with game errors or LED ghosting.

Understood. I was more curious about LX-4 image with the LED and Vulgar Speech patches. I see that some have commented about Soren's Patch Tool and patches for these items and wanted to experiment with them. I do have my own eeprom burner, UV eraser, and plenty of spare 27c040 to work with...just looking for the tools and patches, if someone can DM or email them. Thanks
