not sure how i missed or forgot about this thread, but ill give it a try over the weekend on my magneto le

It's so much better, love the songs

Damnit, I cannot beat this game! Still don’t have a uniform approach to Magneto. And I suck at Weapon X MB too. I’m a decent player. Top score around 300M without finishing the game (This seems good, but I don’t know). Been getting scores in the mid 100Ms regularly lately, usually without Danger Room (gotten there maybe 5 times? Dark Phoenix ONCE. How the hell do you get Dark Phoenix!?) And is there an ultimate Wizard Mode?

Anyone have any good techniques to whip this games ass? I do want to play better, but the MBs are hectic (and can shit down that right orbit shit) and maybe I just suck.

You aren't alone buddy. Had this game 7+ years. Been to Danger Room maybe 3-4 times (never getting far into it) and have still never seen Dark Phoenix. Magneto remains a mystery. Weapon X is usually the thing stopping me from Danger Room. I know HOW to finish it...I just rarely do. You probably already know the trick...but just in case not, watch for the arrows at the bottom of the display and shoot the shots on that side of the playfield. That helps you progress through Weapon X much faster. But it still kicks my butt usually, LOL.

Still an amazing, underappreciated, undervalued, underrated game. It kicks my butt and even though I have trouble getting to the wizard modes, it never feels unfair when doing it. Love it.

On Weapon X try to shoot the faster flashing arrows.Less number of hits are required to beat it.
Also try to have The scoop lit for free time or add a ball if needed.

Interesting...never noticed the faster flashing arrows. They must correspond to the arrows on the display. I totally missed that...will be easier to look for than looking up at the DMD!

I’ve played an equal amount with stacking on and off. Finishing the game without stacking must take an entire day.

About EBs:

1) you light one for finishing night crawler. Then I’m not sure.
2) Completing 4 heroes? Or does Wolvie have to be one of them?
3) Completing Magneto and a certain # of villains?

Any others?

Very nice addition to a very Under rated game. Magneto LE is back in the fleet. Forgot how much there was to this game.

Love the sound package. Occasionally, I get what sounds like static pops during some of the new speech. Did not happen before the down load. Any ideas?

Ok thanks. I wonder if a pin woofer amp would clean it up.

Doubt it. Its the sound clip(audio file) itself not the speakers.

Do you recall where the "free game" sound is? I need to replace the squashed rubber ducky sound with practically anything else.
I am loving your sound package , it is pretty much everything I wanted to do and more.

I guess its the "knocker" sound. It plays when you get a free game via high score or match game. I turned off the match game just to avoid hearing that sound (game is on free play anyway, but I really like the match animation) but I set a GC score and heard it anyway

Fantastic! Got an le like 7 years ago thinking I need to replace this sound bites. Amazing and thank you for sharing, need to explore this a bit, install it and figure out if I can assist in call out updates. I have no idea how to make changes but from the video sounds are on pointe! Thank you!

If you have recommended reading on pinball browser would love to learn more. Are the files labeled in a way to determine what goes to what sound or do you have it noteated somewhere? FatPanda if I screw things up I suspect I can just flash the latest update again to bring the old sounds back?

This sound mod is really great, thanks very much for it just installed it today!

Downloaded and installed. Very cool package. I dig it. Might upgrade my sound system.

Wow, thanks FatPanda !!! This sound update makes X-men a game I enjoy playing now. Are there any other games you've done?! I'd update in a heartbeat!

The beast callouts and so many others were just awful and cringeworthy. Now, there's great music (Beast mode classical!? Cut my life into pieces?!) and so much better callouts. I haven't delved into it too far but I can assure you that already... this is monumental!

I'd never updated a sam game and it wasn't difficult at all. Gameroom-guys youtube video made it easy.

Are the Jean Grey callouts replaced? They sound like she has some kind of weird slurred voice. (I'm not familiar with the original sounds.)

Is the callout gone where she says, I died but I came back better... or something like that? I've only played 2 games so far and will figure it out eventually but I'm sure you know now.

Ok I listened to “you’re about to deal with forces you can’t possibly comprehend” here :

Sounds fine, but on my X-Men it sounds like she has a speech impediment — sounds like “forshes”. How does it sound on other machines? Maybe my speakers are shot.

Sorry to dig this one out of the grave but I just received my X-Men machine and for my surprise it already had this mod.

Only problem I’ve seen, during the bonus at the end of the game, only if it is a match, there is a very loud glitch sound (which scared me on the first couple of occasions… lol)
Like much louder like a whining dog type of sound….

Is this an old release bug that is fixed or anything I should look in my end?

Thanks in advance!

That's Stern's sound, its the same without the fatpanda mix

Anything that can be done? Like it’s really loud….

turn off the match and turn off the knocker sound.

That's the knocker making that sound, it will trigger when you get a special or free game. To turn it off go to settings and disable the knocker. You can still keep the match screen on if you like.

Thanks all will have a look in the morning

The audio and voice acting has always been my biggest gripe about the original. Before I even discovered your project I always thought to myself, "Stern should have attained the licensing for the animated series audio." You definitely made this machine even better with this. If I ever buy one of these this will be a day 1 mod.

Where is the Zip drive slot? I have an le. Also I assume if you ever want to revert back to the original code you download the code online and do the same process?

Just to reiterate we don’t need to be doing anything with pinball browser etc? Just the USB method for putting the new code in? Thanks you rule!

Just installed and the sound rocks! I do kind of miss the Mrs facility but the benefits far out way the 10 plus years of familiarity. FatPanda still adding value after all these years!
