Hello all, I'm trying to get into Ubuntu to see the folders. I followed the tutorial in this thread and I've seen that others have had this problem too. I've connected a keyboard and mouse and hit esc and the windows key. This causes the screen to go black and the game restarts. I've also tried ctrl+esc and ctrl+alt+t and right clicking. None of these seem to work. I don't see the mouse either. Has anyone else had this problem and figured it out?
Quoted from Rensh:The question here is why the windows key didn’t reveal the explorer menu.
Current builts (sn 618+) do act different as there a barebone Linux used without explorer functionality. Its a revised OS with updated drivers etc. Error message should also not be happening anymore.
Your serialno indicated old style however.
That's a bummer for me man. My SN is 640.
Quoted from Rensh:Why a bummer??
Your OS is supposed to be error message free! It just has been stripped of everything not needed to run a pinball and has updated drivers etc.
Yes that is good. I like to tinker though. I’m happy to hear that it is more reliable.
Quoted from mkdud:I would like to add extra lighting to my bowling alley and wanted to hear from other TBL owners who have done this. What lines did you tap to do this? What kind of lighting did you use? How well did it work? Thanks much, mk
I added flipper button lights and tapped into the spare 12v line off of the power supply. I haven't added lighting to the bowling alley though.
Quoted from KSP1138:I'm running the old OS with my custom music menu and the install went fine after I deleted most of the old versions to free up space. The original artists songs were not stepped on by the new version. I am going to migrate to the new OS which doesn't support my menu (no GUI), but I'm going to attempt to come up with an easy method for switching songs by booting to the console with a USB drive connected and running a command or two. And that would support just swapping in the original artists songs too if that's all you want to do.
I would love to see how you implement this with the new OS. I would also like to add Walking Song (Meredeth Monk) to the Maude rug mode. I think that would be the cherry on the top of this awesome game.
Quoted from KSP1138:I'm currently testing my music menu script with updates for the 1.0 code. So far, so good. It works with either the old or new linux OS, and supports up to 10 different song mixes. And if all you want to do is replace the stock music with the original artist versions it should simplify that process where you can just plug a keyboard and USB thumb drive into the PC in the backbox and type a couple commands. If you are technical enough to copy files onto a USB drive you should be good.
Once it is ready, I'll be keeping the script and the music files as separate downloads. The music will be password protected and made available if you confirm that you legally own it.[quoted image]
This is really cool. I’ve also been experimenting with replacing the music for the rug modes. This requires splitting the songs at the first 4 seconds and saving the first part as the intro and second part as the loop. I found these sound files under dp/1.0/assets/music/. Here’s the songs I’ve added.
Where’s The Money - My Mood Swings
Ransom Note - Requiem In D Minor
Female Form - Walking Song
Ringer - Mucha Muchacha
See What Happens - Viva Las Vegas
Donny - Dead Flowers
I’ve also replaced the Hotel California Intro with Tumbling Tumbleweeds because this plays at game over after the match sequence. So now the game ends just like the movie. Love it.
