I can't get PB 6.40 to open up the new code. It seems you have.

My bad....figured it out.

Thanks for doing this!

cleland

cleland I snagged a Pro because of your dedication to this game. And now we get a complete rework of the code thanks to Mike V & the new coder hires. It’s Christmas in March! Hey Stern, cleland

Does anyone have a disk image of the unmodified .87 code (or the .90 code)? I've got the original SD card with .87 and a separate SD card with cleland's code, but would rather not overwrite either (just so I can save them for future use). I'd like to either put .87 on a new SD card and update from there, or if someone has made a .90 image I could just skip right to that.

Update: Took cleland's advice and switched to a Mac and DD Utility, and I was able to make and restore a .87 image.

Only 8 more hours and I'll have a copy uploaded for ya.

... 5 more and counting

Just had a blast playing the update. The game was entertaining before, but much better with the code update. But REALLY, REALLY missing the work that cleland put in. Looking forward to the new code with all the great music/callouts. You gotta get to Cherry Bomb Multiball! That was cool!

Hi cleland,

are There any Changings for the topper with the new Update?

Stern of the Union update.

Another code release later this month with topper support and additional refinement.

Can't wait man

Awesome! -- The new code is great, but miss that cleland love it needs!

New code rocks but I'm missing the better sound package, don't tell me you found other things to do besides work on this over the weekend!

Cleland,

As someone who has tinkered with Pinball Broswer in modifying my Ghostbusters, I can appreciate the time that you've put into this massive project!

Quick question: Would you consider releasing a 2nd version of your image, one that only has the call-outs replaced, but leaves everything else stock?

cleland <~~~~ is like a bat signal!

GOTG needs you..

Thanks cleland

Cleland makes this game worth owning.

Thanks! Looking forward to installing this weekend.

Is spirit in the sky or mr blue sky on any of these sound mods.

You have me re-thinking this machine now!

Damn, why didn't I see this 3 hours ago? Would have probably just kept me up all night but still wish I had seen it. Thanks cleland I'll install it sometime tomorrow and can't wait to check it out!

@cleland,

Outstanding job with the new code! We so appreciate your efforts. It was tough... wanting to put your .87 SD card in to hear the great music and call-outs but loving the newest code and mode varieties from Stern. Well you took care of that. Just downloaded and works like a charm.

I especially love Fox on the Run during Gamora's Mode! Would love to hear Cheap Trick's "Surrender" but don't know where you'd fit it in if at all during the next update. Any thoughts? Rocket? Then Hooked on a Feeling would only play when not in a mode...

Just finished the download and can't wait to load up this code. cleland Thanks for all your hard work on this update, simply awesome!

Downloading now. Thanks again Cleland!

cleland is the process different? Looks like .spk not .img

EDIT: Never Mind IM An IDIOT!!

How Awesome are you!!!
Looking forward to the LE. My poor game is just not the same LOL.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say people like like take pinball from being good to GREAT!!
Thanks for doing this.

Any chance of getting some more video of the music integration?

Looks like my timing is perfect, I’m bringing home a Pro on Sunday! Thanks Cleland.

Cool - I have a feeling this is going to make me buy a premium!

Sounds like 0.9 LE/Premium is ready to go! No pun intended. LOL!!

In 1080P this time? LOL!

Thank you! Will try this out today!

Hi Cleland,

It's really amazing !
With the new sound, It's a new pin ( 1 play 2.7 Bill. )
So much more fun

Thanks for all

PayPal sent, thanks for doing this Cleland.

I have a confession to make. I thought the voices in the original Stern ROM were from the movie, because I had set adjustment #52 (“Movie Lines”) to “originals only”. Then I put in Cleland’s ROM, and I thought “oh, yeah, those voices do sound better”. But...(puts flamesuit on)...I don’t have a problem with Stern’s voice work at all. And it has the benefit of being done in a studio, for the game, without the movie background noise. I’m gonna go back and forth between the ROMs for a while to decide which I like better. Clearly the Cleland mix has the real actors, with better emoting. But it’s a trade-off for some scenes.

Music during the modes is cool, and I was planning to do that myself. But, the problem is that the various fanfares for hitting stuff takes away from the music, so your reward for making shots is having your music go away for a bit. This problem of course exists with the Stern code too. When you’re not in a mode, you get to relax to some music, but it gets interrupted all the time. It would be cool if there was a setting to disable everything but the music, while you’re between modes.

One thing that’s unequivocally awesome is hearing the music during the “wait” time (mode started, ball in shooter lane). I will sometimes sit and listen to it for the full 30 seconds before I plunge, haha. I might switch up the songs, but without Cleland’s Mix I wouldn’t even know this was an option.

So overall, great work, and I really respect how tedious this must have been. I’ve edited a few ROMs myself, but never to this extent. This obviously takes real dedication.

MOST of Xmen is really awesome. Think of how many different voices are in that game...and only a couple stand out as terrible. (coughBEASTcough)

TWD...dreadful, though. Very much appreciate what you did for that one.

Played GOTG for the first time tonight. Enjoyed it thoroughly, and I'm now extremely interested in your work on it (since the stock sound package was the only aspect that bothered me).

I did see a couple of your YouTube vids with GOTG....any extended ones with that sound package around?

I would humbly request a 3rd version. One that swaps out the dialog with the movie scenes, but leaves the music stock. I’m not sure all the pop songs mesh well with playing pinball. Some of the custom music is quite good.

I agree with this, too.

Particularly because the game is ENTIRELY based on the first GoTG movie (every video clip, scene, and line of dialogue)...so putting in all the tracks from the sequel doesn't feel completely...right? (And, I have no problems with the music as it is....but the imitation voices make me cringe).

I don't know how hard it is to pull off these different versions/requests, though. I appreciate the heck out of the work Cleland is doing...can't say that enough.

Also, I don't have a GoTG yet...but after playing it at the PATZ show, I can tell it won't be long before I'm an owner. Should I be warming up that link, or just wait until I'm officially an owner?

Just watched Guardians Vol 2 this weekend with the family. Another shout out to @cleland! Love the work you did. Love all the snip-its of music, even if some are from Vol. 2. I appreciate being able to make any subtle modifications to @cleland's code in Pinball Browser, but I haven't needed to!

Best of all, if and when I want to go back to original scores from Stern, I can just drop in the official Stern SD card with the newest code... and I agree, the voice actors really aren't that bad (easily tolerable).

0.95 code just released; hoping Cleland can move over sound without a lot of work.
