I’m using the suggested card reader (Anker brand) The Sd card is brand new, I’ve tried 2 cards now.. its so strange. It says it’s writing to the card, takes a while,then the card is empty. Both tries,different cards. Maybe I need to format or reformat the card ? It’s prolly something simple Thanks for all the help. I’ll try to do the stern thing onto one of the cards, see if that’s the issue and try n use there etcher thing . Thanks guys !!

maybe you could in advance format it and try to move file with the windows explorer on it. To test if it works.
With pinball Browser or the etcher balena it dones not matter if the card is fomated.
The cards are not write protected with the little switch? But i think windows would say it could not write on it.

Tried that. I didn’t format the sd card the first couple tries. I almost had it yesterday, brand new card, processed for long time then I got this message..and the weirdest thing, once again, the sd card had lost all its memory. In properties it says empty,but also no longer is a 16gb card

i am getting out of ideas, but try the etcher balena and the standard SD-image from stern. But i am more and more thinking the sd-cardreader is broken, or maybe the usb-port is not good.

I can send you my sd card with the 1987 1.23 code but its for a Pro if you pay what i paid for the card from amazon. I dont like the old cartoon look as much as Sterns work so just PM me if interested.

lol finally got it. Was a very simple mistake I was making. I wasn’t copying the path to pin browser correctly, and that was it. Easy easy. Thanks for the assistance

So once I have this source code on the machine, am I able to update the code updates from stern normally? Or am I locked in to 1.21?

Really love it. Big thx.
So now is 1.4 out. Will you make a update?

too bad Pinball Browser is broken again with 1.4 Code, it will take some time that it hopefully gets updates to open the new image.

Hopefully soon. It's one of the best community updates I know (together with RFM).

Will delt's music be in this upcoming update?

no i am sorry sound is not possible for me to include.
This can only do the magic of oga83

The TMNT Code is setup up in way that Videos and Existing scenes done with prior editions of code and Pinball Browser can be migrated with "simple" file manipulation (copy, overwrite...), but this also depends how the progammer set up the enviroment. But with TMNT it works.
The Problem with sound is that it is encoded into one big file and i haven't figured out out how.

Awesome! Thanks fellas!

Thx for all the work. Videos are great again. Only one video I would change. Maybe at the end of the new mini mode something from this birthday party.

Only an idea.

Maik

I updated yesterday to 1.41 on the non-stern sd, lost the 1987 animations,but successfully updated the code. Will I be able to add the 1987 animations onto the non-stern sd card after your done the new videos ? Or are you saying I need to use the stern sd card for the new code with 1987 mod? Sorry for the confusion,love the work your doing! Thank you !

Would be nice. Then it's for me perfect.

updating the code with the usb update version will overwrite all animations.
You will need to load the complete 1987 image from 1st page and put it on a sd-card. After this replace the sd-card in the Pinball with the new one.
Or you can overwrite the one in the machine. I Personaly prefer the switching method. You should be able to use every sd-card that has the right specs. It should be at least 8GB.

with pinball browser that was used before and new way it is much easier to modify the whold sd-card image instead of the update package. Thats the reason only the whole sd-card image is distributed.

Any chance to add the 1987 theme song back in? Just updated and noticed that its missing now. Went back to the weird stern one.

Ahh.. damn that encryption!

yes pinball browser 7.70 is out with tmnt 1.41 compatility.

I think I know the answer but I downloaded this last night. I assume you didn’t have this up when I downloaded so I need to download the one today, correct?

I think I'm jumping into the chat a bit late. If possible, when all of your guys hard work is completed can I too get the new 1987 code. I'm not sure if I'm reaching out to the correct person or not. Or if someone can point me in the right direction of who to PM. I'm super pumped up after seeing the previous clips. I purchased an SD Card and my brother in law said he can help me out with getting the file/code written to the SD card for me. Thank you guys all so much. I'm new to Pinside. Such a great resource and community.

Any Info is greatly appreciated.

I currently feel lost like I'm not reaching out correctly.

Thank you so much. I'll get in contact with my brother In-Law and see of her has any questions. I really appreciate the response. That was quick.

Happy to be part of the community.

Hate asking questions as if I were a Newb but this has me stumped. I've downloaded 1.41 from the updated 1st post in this thread. I've loaded it in Pinball Browser and at the end I get a Firmware Error...am I missing something?

I had downloaded a copy a few weeks ago and never got around to copying it to a proper SD Card as I didn't have one at the time. For some reason, all that I had was an *.spk file with the appropriate file name. However, I just went back to your 1st post in this thread and I'm seeing it's a *.zip. I'm downloading it now and I think that should fix the issue I was having. Not sure how I got that file in my Download folder? Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes...and thanks for the quick reply Davey.

Got it! Much easier when you have the right file. Worked just like it was supposed to.

Very nice work Davey...brings back memories. Thank you!

Awesome! SO you guys even fixed the missing final battle intro before the Stern code did? You rock!

Does this change any of the sounds? Like using the original version of the theme song?

I actually really like the sounds in the game, I think Stern did a great job with it. But I would prefer the proper original theme, other than that, I have no real concerns.

Can this be done on a Mac OS? Or is Windows OS required for all the applications and extractions?

If you are talking about pinball browser, some people have it running on Mac from what i have seen.
The free version you should be able to test everything. Except exporting/importing Videos, Scenes and Long sounds. I think you can handle sounds under 5seconds in the free version. Best would be a visit in the Pinball Browser tread to check out. I think they are using crossover? or something like this.

TMNT specific. Importing sounds does not work right with the new version (PC and Mac). Some have tried and the sounds in gameplay are not very good.

does this make sense?

If you have a disk image (like this code) you don't need any special software at all on OSX, you can just run dd from the terminal.

For example,

See all block devices:
diskutil list

Umount the sd card you want:
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2

Copy the image:
sudo dd bs=1m if=turtles_prem_le-1_41.ReleaseV4.16G.sdcard.1987.raw of=/dev/rdisk2

Notes:
1) Be sure you actually have the right device "/dev/disk2" in my case, so you don't destroy your hard drive.
2) The "r" in the "rdisk2" is not a typo in the dd command. It is raw access and goes way faster.

Noooooooooo Hopefully eventually there will be a fix! Thanks for checking!

Loaded this on my Pro tonight. It crashed during my first game. I started Turtle Power Multiball, then the Michael Angelo (red) weapon hurry up, then I think put a 3rd ball into the Pizza Parlor when it crashed. Game froze, then restarted with the sound back at level 18 instead of 8 where I had it. Not sure if it reset pricing as well (l like to coin up for the extra sound effects and arcade feel!). The second game worked fine although way too quickly.

Any thoughts about what caused the crash?
