Antioch, CA
I got a mode idea or 2, and might be able to do some sounds or music?

is the wheel controlled or random?
Either way new modes could be added or exclusive to the player select (choice?) or Gofers choice lists for when the wheel stops on those. Maybe the modes when the player selects them could go slower on the dmd so some skill could be used in choosing?

By exclusive I meant if you had 5 new modes they might be the only modes available in players or gofers choice as the original modes are already on the wheel (I'm guessing they all are?)
Or you could have the new modes mixed in at a high ratio so you are more likely to get one of the newer modes.
Not sure how to convey instructions for new modes without just holding the ball and putting them on the DMD
Any plans for new voiceovers or editing existing sounds for new phrases?
I could come up with new music FYI

Ideas for new modes.
1. Water hazard multiball. If mechanically possible, the lift ramps eliminate a ball from multiball play when a ball goes under/in them. If not maybe the flippers go dead once a ball goes into one?
Maybe a hole in 1 or jackpot adds a ball?
2. A complex version of drunken multiball (will send PM)
Ideas for video modes:
1. Shoot Gofer = either Gofer moves like in JP, or target sight moves back and forth
2. Lob a ball at Gofer (more family friendly than above)
3. Lob a ball at golf hole
4. Golf ball shot shot or hole choice = like tunnel mode in Congo
5. Avoid being hit by balls = like Furba in Shadow
6. Steer ball to hole / putt
7. Steer runaway cart
8. Steer ball through Gofer tunnels = like STTNG, but avoid Gofer, Dynamite, Snakes. Prizes are points, if you make it all the way to the end you get an extra ball.
9. Dizzy or slipping Gofer = flippers control spinning disc and on DMD you try to make Gofer(s) fall down or get Dizzy
Bob C
Maybe in the shoot Gofer or lob a ball at Gofers video mode, the Gofer can be heads on the DMD popping out of random holes.
Perhaps for effect; the respective Gofer character could pop up on the playfield too, and drop when hit / goes back down hole

Quoted from jamescardona:Update on the code.
I am at a severe stop until we can decode the AV95 board. I really thought this was already done but apparently not. I am finding out that no one has ever used freewpc on a wpc95 system. So I am the first (not scared - I was the first to do a DCS machine too). So I wrote a ton of code and it all worked in emulation but when I dumped it on the machine it will not get past POST. When I pull the ribbon that goes to the AV board the code runs but obvis with no DMD or sounds. Looks like we need to decipher some bits that the AV board is sending back to the cpu as the cpu is locking up waiting for the info (my guess as to what is happening).
I don't have a chip emulator so this project may be on the shelf until I get one.
If anyone has embedded experience and can lend a hand it would be much appreciated.
that sucks : (
but is a chip emulator software, hardware, both?
available or needs to be created?
Quoted from dgposter:I'd be happy to donate to this project as well!
yes, can we raise funds for what he needs?

Sounds like Funhouse 2.0 is upgrading to a DMD, new boards, toys that didn't make it into the game, new code...and possible a whole playfield swap
For NGG I dont know if there were toys removed, or if an upgrade to LCD from DMD could be done.
Plus side, the chips dont need to be hacked, downside a few hundred or more $ as opposed to a chip or 2

Quoted from Robl45:Anything new on this? I think the latest Rom made the speech more friendly. I want my adult speech back.
Is it set to adult in the settings?
