Thanks, i'll give a try !
Steve, how can we switch from one sound set to the other, if i want to try multiple ones ?
will you generate descramble for all sound set, is it possible to generate it automatically ?

thanks

Hi Steve

I updated my Raspisound from 1.14 to v1.17 via the previous posted update file, and it seems the update went fine. When it boots, it now says it is running 1.17 and starts preloading.

However after preloading there is no sound at all. And this is using the exact same sound mix and config and descrambling files. But no sound at all...

It is in my WPC DCS Star Trek Next Generation

I posted the log here: https://pastebin.com/uL9xMJJ8 in case you need it.

Can anyone else confirm that v1.17 works on WPC DCS machines?

Hey,

OK, i'll downgrade. Latest version i have had access to was 1.14. Do you know if i will be able to just use the existing 1.14 update file i have to downgrade (thus keeping my soundsets and config files on the card), or will i have to download a full 1.14 image file and do a clean install of the SD Card?

I will download the new image and try it this afternoon

nope, sorry, i screwed the quote, i was speaking about the relay for the shaker.
I've shown a picture but a detailed explanation would be great for the wiring and stuff.

I've flashed the 1.14 again, you are speaking about a 1.15 update but did not find it.

I want to test on LOTR whitestar, so i'll wait for your instructions

I saw in the video that you have the original pinsound config file in the sound folder along with your Raspisnd config file. Is that Pinsound file required to be in there?

Nice colorization

Here are the results of my testing with the new 117rc image that was posted today

DE Vendor 0: Sound works but most of the sounds are not correct.
DE Vendor 2: Sound works but most of the sounds are not correct.
Whitestar Vendor 7: Sound works but sounds are not correct. With this one, since I am working with a portable speaker, I can leave the original speakers hooked up and run the Raspisound at the same time. I can directly compare what the original sound board is playing with what is playing at the same time on the Raspisound. Nothing matches. This test was with an Apollo 13.

Your Lethal Weapon 3 appears so work correctly. Could there be a problem on the board or with a chip that could cause this problem? It seems hard to believe that your LW3 config is perfect but SW and A13 are messed up.

Scratching my head here.

And as a reminder, my WPC seems to work correctly but DE/Whitestar does not. So could that point to a chip problem?

new software on my PI3 does not work, green LED will turn on twice, then blink twice quickly, after a while one blinks and does not light up, I've installed the disc image twice and it's still the same.

Yes. The jumper is correct. I place the jumper on WPC and change the raspisound config file and it mostly works in funhouse with just a few minor problems that have been discussed before. When testing with DE, I change the jumper and the raspisound and it works as I describe. I have a simple hi/low logic probe but not any fancy equipment.

I have forgot to change the jumper before when I first started going back and forth and when that happens it wont even boot. I am sure it is set correctly to DE for all this testing.

I guess I can use your eagle files and look at all my connections and make sure nothing is off on my board.

Is there anyone here that can test the original Star Wars sound package on a real machine to either verify my testing? If it does the same things then its not the board. If it works properly for you then I know its something on my board.

Thanks

Ok. I burned another SD card with the image and it runs fine. Instead of swapping and changing files all the time to change between SW and Apollo13 for testing I am setting up dedicated SD cards for each. I set the new one up for A13 and it runs fine. Like I said, I got the original speakers running too so I can hear them both at the same time to compare. After spending some time with the glass off and running through a couple of games hitting specific switches, here is what I found out:

For some reason, this time more sounds are right at least I think so. I didn't spend a lot of time on the previous test but I am pretty sure its better this time.
I am guessing that around 40% of the sounds are correct. I might have an entire back of targets that are correct but if I go to another set of targets, all of them are not. Some of the voice calls are right on but then you have wrong ones every once in a while that are not correct. An example of the match sequence. It supposed to go like this if you do not match. (I'm paraphrasing the calls as I don't remember them exactly)
"We are going to the moon"
sound effect
"Negative on the moon"

What the Raspisound does is
"We are going to the moon"
"I need a go no go for launch"
"Negative on the moon"

I guess the next step is to check the board since I think it is performing better than the first time I tested today.

Good deal. Will test when you finish it up.
Yeah. It really makes it easy to compare the sounds in real time. I actually thought about making a ribbon “Y adapter” so I could do the same thing with Star Wars.

Ok. now we are talking progress.

With the new update, I would say the game is 90-95% correct. For the first half of the game there was no difference in the stock speakers and the Raspisound speakers. I had one issue in the video mode. The rocket sound got stuck on for a while after video mode. I then had a couple of voice callouts that were not made. I cant remember having any wrong voice callouts, its just that every once in a while the Raspi didn't make it. It may be a coincidence but after the video mode I had the wrong background music playing a couple of times. Overall a huge step forward. I can do some more specific testing and send any files you need.

Just for kicks I took my Star Wars SD card and updated it too and tried it but no luck, it still is the same as before with probably 10-15% being correct.

Sounds like you are now at the same place as me and some others on WPC. It's about 90% correct, but sometimes certain sounds arent played, or sounds are not stopped when they should be.

Fingers crossed we can get it that last step of the way, because then I will definitely have to purchase more for my other machines

Steve, is there anything we can do in regards of helping solve the remaining intermittent issues? Would a video of a game with an attached log file help? Then I could pinpoint certain points with timecodes in the video where something isn't correct. But I don't know if you will be able to locate these points in the (rather big) log file afterwards?

Steve, could you update the link to the Raspisound image.
Previous link, does not work.

My WPC works like this as well. I have tested it in Funhouse. No Luck on DE yet.

Does last update.zip work with 1.14 or shall I burn a 1.17rc then update?

I installed the update from the latest image 1.17.

So, I had some time today.
I had a 1.5 shield and a pi2 to give a try on my LOTR.
I've used the last 1.17 img and the LOTR OST sound pack.
I've plugged the pinsound whitestar adapter plugged onto the CPU.

And bingo! It worked really well. At least during the trial period.
Sadly, I had nothing more once I've pasted my pi2 licence(purchased by mistake)

I have no pi3 to give a try. I can confirm that it was working mostly well, as I had sound from the pinball and the pi2

I still do not work, green led in PI3 blinks a few times and the end, the program does not load at all, I tried on several different sd cards, I installed the win32imager again, and I still do the same.
I do not know what to do anymore. I have no idea where the error is.

I tried on two PI3s, Pi Zero and four different sd cards, I have no idea what's going on.
I will try to record this image on another computer.

Thanks ! I'll do a feedback once i get it working

It's definitely something with my equipment, I'll try to make a disc image on a laptop today.

Which software are you using to burn?
2 Kingston SD failed for flashing due to missing sectors while SanDisk SD worked well

I use Etcher. Dead simple

win32imager

I’m not in front of my computer but I’m pretty sure that’s what I use.

i'm using win32 too,was just looking for a reason why it would be so difficult for fly ...strange

Did you decompress the archive before writing the image to the SD card?

Steve,
It appears from the video that you posted that your are not using the newest board. I know several of us that are having issues are using the latest board. Could you please test using the newest board so we can have a direct comparison? Maybe something is going on with the new board. Just a thought.

Agreed. I’m on the new board and still haven’t had much success with it on my Jurassic Park. It’s to the point where it boots and announces the serial number, but I haven’t been able to get it to actually trigger any playback of sounds. Whereas, I can plug the cable back into the factory sound board and everything works 100%
