Quoted from FlippyD:I haven't been looking foward to doing the PinSound install since it involves some more intensive board work but... IT MUST BE DONE!!!
Thanks for sharing this awesome work with us!
Intensive board work? Please elaborate. Do you mean installing the adapter chip?
Quoted from Pinzap:Can someone tell me what adapter I need for LOTR? I bought a Pinsound board for my IJ, but haven’t installed it yet and would rather put it in LOTR now since IJ is going to go through a restore next year sometime hopefully.
You need a whitestar adapter. Pinsound sells them on their website and that's the only source I've found.

Quoted from Reznnate:Question - for the path of the dead, are the callouts for souls ("500 souls!") removed because they were too repetitive (or missing HQ replacement) or am I just missing them for some reason. I want to make sure my new install/board is working properly.
After looking through the files a bit, I'm guessing an empty gain.txt file is used to 'skip' sounds. I also noticed gain values between 4 - 20. Would love your thoughts on how/why and other tips that would help explain the construction of this mix. I need to mess with my speakers and volume. I'm getting a lot of noise, some sounds are very loud while some are hard to hear.
They seem to be removed. I prefer that personally because i found them annoying and they reminded me of how little skill was involved.
Make sure your speakers are balanced left and right and properly between the cabinet and backbox. There is also a fix for buzz in stern/data east games that involves a potentiometer, but I doubt that mod could be done with the pinsound. I emailed pinsound about the same thing and they told me to make sure pinsound wasn't turned all the way up and to instead use the game volume

Quoted from Reznnate:This is precisely the question I wanted to ask. If the original game is mono, I was wondering if stereo would matter.
If I've already updated the speakers, will Pinsounds's 'stereo' cable work with LOTR?

I used it on my lotr. Works great, what's your concern?
