GOTG Sound Replacement Mod

OK, I have posted my V2 of the .87 code to the same links you have all been sent before. Just re-download and flash it to your SD card.
Some of the changes are:

Balanced out many of the call outs sounds. I still recommend going into the game settings and setting Speech attenuation to somewhere between -15 to -25.

Completed all call outs for all modes with current code .87

Used "Fox On The Run" music for "Sibling Rivalry" Modes

Used "David Bowie-Moonage Dream" music for "Knowhere" Modes

Used "Come A Little Bit Closer" music for "Yaka's Arrow" Modes

I still want to get Fleetwood Mac's "Break The Chain" in there somewhere, but can't decide where to fit it with current code.
At this point I am going to wait and see what happens with the next code update and go from there. I would like to add some more variety in the callouts
from the characters from VOL 2 of the movie, but will evaluate that with next code update. So for now, I am done with .87 code but will certainly address the next update. Thanks to all of you for the PM's and Topper fund, you guys rock!

Enjoy my fellow Pinsiders!

Edit: Some have said there were problems with the links but many have said they downloaded them fine. I think some of you early folks had the .zip link and I changed it to the direct .img. Just PM me if you have any problems and I'll re-send you the links.

Question: I tried a 32gb Sandisk and I tried a 32gb Axiom SD cards. Both write fine but both cards had trouble during the verify stage using the etcher.io app. I ignored that the verification did not work and plug into machine and both seemed to work. Any thoughts on this?.

Thx bunch!

A friend got the high score on my LE game and entered their initials and then hit "end" and the game did a complete reboot upon hitting "end". Weird - any thoughts on this one too?

Can't be anything I did as I only replace sound requests, nothing else. Could be a bug in .87 code. There are many placeholder call outs too that are not heard in the game yet. With the next Stern update I'm sure there will be more.

Just to make sure you are using my current version and flashed your SD card properly. If you hear the new mode music selections
"Fox On The Run" music for "Sibling Rivalry" Modes
"David Bowie-Moonage Dream" music for "Knowhere" Modes
"Come A Little Bit Closer" music for "Yaka's Arrow" Modes

Then you have the latest image for the .87 code. I'll address more when new Stern code is posted.

Great to hear! I kinda felt like I might have overdone the volume on the newly added songs, so I have reduced them by -3db and uploaded new versions.
It feels more balanced to me, so if anyone wants to download again and flash their card have at it. I'll keep tweaking behind the scenes in anticipation for the next code release.

Crap, now you probably won't sell it

Code needs some work for sure, and there's only so much I can do without original assets. I did use the center channel track from the 5.1 dvd which is mainly the dialogue track, but there is some background mix they leave in there too. Anyway, I will keep tweaking away for the next release.

If possible I'd like to request the option for alternate game-over songs. I like the existing Jackson 5 tune and understand that's what plays at the end of the movie but it does get a little repetitious, if you can work a few others in there it would be sweet!

That would be cool, but with current code it only triggers that request. I think that will change with the next update and more songs will cycle though.....at least that’s what I’m hoping for.

This project basically erases all doubts I had on GoTG as my first pinball purchase. It's a dream theme for my kids and I, but I was worried about the generic callouts and felt it was missing the iconic music. You've resolved that. The game is really fun to play, so this completes the package. If/When I pull the trigger, I'd love to sent a few dollars your way to support this work!

Currently the topper only functions in attract mode. I, too, hope the new code gets it integrated into gameplay. There are enough colors on the topper’s grid to represent all the color-based modes I’d think.

Just installed tonight after owning the game for two days.

1st. The install was very simple: Download file, Use “Etcher” easily found on google for free download, use Etcher to install file on a new 16MB SD card from Walmart (was cheap $10), turn off game, swap out SD card, turn on game. Done!

2nd. The difference is night and day!!! GOTG is a great license, made even greater by the music. Most of the great music I remember is now in my game. Stern really teed this one up by using quotes directly from the movie in a lot of places. I’m quite happy with this version from cleland.

Thanks Kevin!

Watched a walk-through of the new rule changes previewed at TPF. I'll save most of that discussion for the game thread but the mini-wizard mode (complete 4 modes completely) will be "Cherry Bomb Multi-ball" so I'm afraid you may have to leave that song in on the next version @cleland. Unfortunately it was way too loud for the stream to capture any audio from the show floor so I have no idea if anything has changed in that department.

That’s cool, I just hope they use more sound requests for specific places. They could only call for Cherry Bomb for that multi ball mode and not reuse that song in so many multiple places like it is in current .87 code. I can’t wait to address the new code when it drops.

On a personal note, I would like to have an option to have the start (ooga-chaka) of Hooked on a Feeling returned. My kids enjoy that especially. Keep up the great work Kevin!
