PINSOUND: AFM without an AV Board?

Works great, easier to source parts. Better sound, stereo!

No, a Pinsound Board & a WPC89 DMD Controller replace the AV board.

You can also purchase a Rottendog board from Big Daddy Enterprises or K's Arcade. They are listed at $365.

Good to know this option exists. I’ve always been hesitant buying WPC95 games because the AV board is more or less unobtainium.

And it turns out that’s kind of a myth too. There are Rottendog replacement boards, and there are NOS rebuilds that are still available. The PinSound solution isn’t any less expensive, but it does give you the option of stereo sound and replacing your audio

Both of those were only recent developments.

I understand the reticence but 95 games are some of the very best!

And some of the sound packages are great.

I have a MB that now plays the Monster Mash when you get Monster Bash - love it!

Shame there aren't more custom AFM sound packages.

A David Bowie mix would fit so well.

I know, but I’m specifically thinking about how Wayne in Australia has been saying he bought up all the NOS parts 5 years ago or whatever. Not that everyone else knew about it, but the supply was there

Absolutely!! I’d love to fill my game room with them. They’re also the most nostalgic to me.

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated. Being new to PinSound, is it just a case of copying the sound ROM images and uploading them to the board?

Pretty easy to do actually.

Great video, seems straight forward enough. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be anything uploaded for AFM though, so I guess this won't solve my problem, without the sound files. Seems odd, I wonder why these aren't available for such a popular game.

Cool!

Drop one of the Bowie songs in if you can

Will you add it to the community mixes on the pinsound website?

Might have to buy another pinsound board if it's awesome
