Yes, each new code update from Stern will revert the audio back to stock. Quick or Full won't make a difference. Then another audio mod will need to be made. So users have to decide to leave the older modded code in place or update from Stern and live with the stock audio until a new audio mix is released.

I'll use TWD as an example. Most TWD owners run custom audio from Cleland, it's fantastic. Whenever Stern releases a code update then Cleland has to make a new version of his modded code and re-release it. Some changes are more difficult than others. If Stern changes the bookmarks then that creates more work.

Has anyone tried this?
I'm running 1.01 and I really like the new feature setting that allows the trex modes to be started if the ball breaks the ramp opto, instead of only when the ball goes into the trex mouth. My trex rejects A LOT of shots. This would be the only loss in reverting back to 1.0 IMO. But I would really like to try your amazing new 1.0 with the custom audio.
I keep all of the old code updates on a PC. I could try to install 1.0 and see if it takes it.

Coindoor power interlock not pulled out?

I WISH pinball browser still worked with current code. I would love to have this awesome audio mix. Kudos to you guys for all of your hard work. Great job!
For me personally I prefer 1.01 over 1.0.
The biggest change is-
"added 'T-REX EVENT STARTS ON RAMP ENTER' - YES - allows the mode to start if the Ramp Enter switch is hit, NO - T-Rex must register a catch to start the mode, Defaults to NO"
This helps the game progress better IMO because there are SO MANY Trex catch rejects on my machine.
There are also a ton of Trex adjustments in 1.01.
I'm hopeful that someone will be able to crack the issue with PB browser. This is a bummer.

I just loaded up Tim's code and HOLY CRAP it's awesome!
Great job!!

I can verify that going from 1.01 to Tim's 1.0 was super smooth. No issues. I used "quick and no verify". Not only was it smooth but ALL of my settings AND high scores were saved. I didn't expect the scores to save. Bonus!

Curious, what music and speech attenuation settings do you recommend Tim?

UPDATE
Yesterday I updated from Stern 1.01 to Tim's 1.0 with his custom ending audio. The settings and scores were saved.
Today I updated again. This time to Tim's 1.0 with the standard ending audio. This time the settings and scores were NOT saved.

So, if you want to save your settings and scores, I suggest you save your settings to a usb drive (in the utilities menu) before you update. And then of course restore these settings in the same way after you've updated.

I had it at speech +3 before. Now with Tim's mod I'm trying default (0 and 0) and the speech call-outs are already quite loud.

Have any of you guys tried the Stern topper with the 1.0 code?

Royale-W-Cheese says that his Stern topper works perfectly with Tim’s 1.0 code!

No need to be anxious. Follow these steps...

If you don’t already own these,
Buy a 16gb class 10 SD card and 2 usb thumb drives (I use 16gb for these also)

You’ll need an external SD card reader for your pc if it doesn’t have a built in card reader.

Follow Stern’s instructions exactly! Download and flash the appropriate 1.01 JP card image to your new SD card.
Go here https://sternpinball.com/support/sd-cards/

If you haven’t already, download and install Tim’s .spk code. Copy his .spk file onto blank usb thumb drive A.

Turn on your JP and insert blank usb thumb drive B into the head.
Open utilities, save settings, press select to save settings
Remove usb thumb drive B, put aside, remember which one this is.

Turn off JP, remove stock SD card, put aside

Insert new SD card that you flashed.
Turn on JP
After it boots up insert usb thumb drive B
Open utilities, restore settings, select to restore settings
Verify that all of your settings are restored
Turn off JP, remove usb thumb drive B

Insert usb thumb drive A, turn on JP
Install Tim’s code
Turn off JP remove usb thumb drive A
Turn on JP

Your original settings should now be on your JP with Tim’s code. Settings and high scores are saved to the SD card.

You can easily swap SD cards back and forth (with your game off of course) so you can compare stock vs Tim’s.
You have a copy of your settings and scores saved for future on usb drive B

Guys. Let me help here.
Stern writes code for a game. Complete code. All audio, video, IFTT (if this then that) programming, led colors, etc etc etc.
When they release an update (like .spk 1.01) they make some changes to the previous code. Sometimes changes are HUGE. Sometimes they are not. When you run the .spk you are changing parts of the previous code or adding completely new parts, not replacing the whole thing.
Ok..
Stern released 1.0. Then Tim made his version. His version IS Sterns 1.0 in every way but he swapped out hundreds of audio tracks. Everything else is 1.0.

Now, if you want Sterns 1.01 .spk update with the extra Trex goodies then you will be running Sterns stock audio along with it.

Stern created a blockade that stops pinball browser from working with 1.01. Its possible that eventually pinball browser will bypass Sterns blockade and then guys like Tim (and Cleland, me, and others) will be able to continue changing audio tracks in each of Sterns updates. But until that happens you will have to choose. Stay with Tim's 1.0 or update to Stern 1.0-whatever.
Hope that makes it clear as mud..

Stern needs to hire Tim

Yes, usb save utility saves both.
The pin should save both automatically when you install from your current 1.01 to Tim's 1.0, but to be on the safe side I recommend using the usb save utility beforehand. Just in case.

And "quick" is just fine. No need to do a "full".

Oga83 released the new PB browser update which fixed the blockade with Stern's latest firmware versions. That's fantastic news. It will work with 1.01 now.
However he is banning users from sharing ANY firmware. This is confusing. I posted some questions on that thread.
Hopefully I'm misunderstanding him.

Commenting to try to help Tim out here.
Installing Tim’s 1.0 after already running Stern’s 1.01 or 1.02 shouldn’t cause you any problems.

This is what has been confusing some people. You won’t be installing 1.0 “over” 1.01/1.02 and retaining 1.01/1.02. You will be replacing 1.01/1.02 with 1.0.
Hope this helps

Tim's almost right.
I highly recommend backing up your settings and scores on a blank usb drive from the utility menu before swapping SD cards or changing code.
When you update/downgrade code via the usb method your settings/scores should save automatically, however there have been occasions when this did not happen.

Swapping SD cards will NOT automatically save anything. Those settings/scores are saved on the card

Couple of clarifications for you guys.
You ONLY need to power off/on your machines when swapping out SD cards, or when booting up with a .spk update via usb drive.

You do not need to power off/on your game when saving/restoring settings via usb drive from the utilities menu.

You do not need a blank usb drive for saving settings. You can keep multiple save files from the same game (and multiple other games) on the same usb drive. When you save settings the pin will name the file with the game initials (like JRP) and the date of the save. Later on when restoring your settings you can choose which file to load with the volume +/- buttons. Just be sure to pick the correct save file before pressing select. Having a .spk file on the drive won’t matter because the game’s restore utility is looking for only the save files.

I personally have used saved settings files from 1.0 code while running 1.01 and then again back to 1.0. Same again from 1.01 to 1.02. As of now these save files are backwards and forwards compatible. That could of course change.
