Anyone got a picture of V3.7 assembled or instructions? Looks like it has connector for WPC and WPC95 boards.

Has anyone tweak the settings to get it load faster yet? Just wondering if someone has a good configuration to get the Pi to start up faster.

How long does it take to get a license?

Quoted from hawknole:

Did you get one from Steve yet? Maybe check your spam.

I got my licenses. Thanks

Looking for some help, this is driving me crazy.

I am trying to put a Tilt Audio board in my STTNG. The original sound board works just fine.

I setup the Tilt Audio board, with sounds files in the data\sound folder and a raspisound.ini with vendor=5 for WPC DCS.

I also have the license key file in the \data folder

I wired up the speakers correctly.

The Tilt Audio board will boot up and play the intro voice announce the version number and loads the sounds files.

BUT, I get no game sounds when I start the game.

I am also able to use the Web UI and play the sounds and that works fine, but the game will not play any sounds.

I took the exact same Tilt audio board and put it in a friends STTNG without changing anything and it played just fine, boots up and gets all game sounds.

I also put my original sound board back in and it works just fine.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

Any thoughts on what to look for, it doesn't seems to be the Tilt Audio board since it works in my friends STTNG.

Thanks

Quoted from Ashram56:

Can you hear sound/music when triggering them manually with the webui?
Can you check the log to see if Tiltaudio detects sound commands?
And lastly... Which board révision is this?
Regards

I can hear the sounds when I trigger them manually with the Web UI.

I will check the logs, anything in particular to look for?

Ver 3.7 board with 1.37 firmware.

Thanks

Quoted from BrewNinja:

Wait, so it worked just fine in a different machine but not yours? Thats crazy. I would boot it up and grab the log, that's where the magic of what's going on (or not) will be.
Just some random thoughts. Are you both on the same ROM version on the machine? Any chance you could borrow his cable to test with? Maybe CPU as well?

That is what is driving me crazy that it worked in my friends STTNG. I am getting him to burn the same ROM image he is using and I ordered a new set of cables.

I used the same Game ROM image that mine friend used and another cable from a working Adams Family and still nothing UGGGGH.

I brought up the Web UI and turned on live logging with trace setting. When I play sounds through the Web UI I can see all the live log information happening.

But, when I start a game, nothing show up in the live log. Shouldn't I see log activity when I start a game and sounds should be playing?

Thanks

Figured out the culprit.

When I unplug the ribbon cable from the Fliptronics board and have it go straight to the Tilt Audio board the sounds works just fine. When I plugged the ribbon cable back in to the Fliptronics board the sounds stops working.

Looks like there is an issue with my Fliptronics board. Going to get a replacement and try it.

Any idea why the Fliptronics board would stop the signal from going to the Tilt Audio board, but still work with an original sound board?

#1764 2 years ago
Quoted from Ashram56:

Gut feeling, impédance matching.

Gut feeling ? Signal integrity and impedance matching.
That could be caused by a number of factors: ribbon cable, connectors, etc. I would reflow the solder on all connectors, and try a new cable. Pay especially attention to the ground signal (I don't recall though if the original ribbon cable has a ground wire between each signal wire to prevent crosstalk).

Ok So I bought a new Fliptronics board and a new set of ribbon cables, same dang issue. Tilt Audio will work fine as long as it is not plugged in to the Fliptronics board.

Any thoughts?

Finally got it working ended up being an issue with my Rottentdog WPC board, swapped it out and everything worked.
