Quoted from High_End_Pins:Will also be using the Pinsound board by request. It will be the third time I do that and have to admit the last two times I found it buggy. Hopefully this one goes better.
If by buggy you are referring to random delayed audio cues, they are caused by the read speed of the usb flash drive in use. The ones the boards come with are fine for maybe some stock audio samples; but, the larger and higher quality custom cues are usually much bigger in size and that causes the random delays as the board is calling up the file.
If you encounter this pick up a higher speed usb 3.0 drive.
I swapped my games over to these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SNLGXE0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
They are the fastest on the market and my random delays are virtually all eliminated in even the largest custom mixes.
The very occasional sound delay is defiantly worth it for the ability to massively supercharge the audio. For any film or music based pin using the original sounds makes a world of difference. The mix I made for SWDE makes that machine really seem modern.
By the way, I’ve often wondered if for some of the more common games you’ve restored (AF, MM, AFM, etc) do you think you could do most of the work from memory if you lost your pics and notes.
