    System 11 Soundcard

    Didn't notice it, but was skimming the video, maybe I missed it? Got a link and a time when it starts? Would love to see it. Thanks.

    High-quality Soundtracks using Original Sound Data (Marcel Gonzales)

    It's likely the fact that it's not compressed for mobile devices. The original recorded audio was @ 44.1K IIRC and then down sampled to 11.25K for mobile and then (possibly?) further compressed when packed into the game resource. ( I recall seeing an ADPCM tag for the mobile resource packager )...

    Is Centaur Really Rom Emulated?

    I don't live near FS to try out the real machine, but the emulation dictates what sound to play, so unless it's an emulation bug, my guess would be the real machine does that. Hard to know w/o playing a real machine to find out.

    Is Centaur Really Rom Emulated?

    Yes it is emulated. The audio hardware however is not emulated, it's simulated using recorded audio from Farsight's table. Last I checked it speeds up the music as switches are closed and cuts the music during voice calls, so I'd be curious if others are seeing similar things.

    Creature from the Black Lagoon ColorDMD

    Far as I understand it WMS won't approve any table that has any non-factory changes made to it, which rules out any mods. Shame, I really like some of the popular mods out there.

    Request Missing "replay" animation + jackpot multipliers

    You would think so, but in fact we get NOTHING from them! We even have to download the manuals if it didn't come with the game they bought. Frankly I've been very disappointed at the lack of help we get from them. The one single exception is Stern who allowed us to have a conference call once...

    Request Missing "replay" animation + jackpot multipliers

    We use the the most recent ones from IPDB, which for WW is L5 IIRC.

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    Who's got time for gaming.. LOL! :) I barely have time to get the next table done in time. ;)

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    I'll have to check it out, as it should sound exactly like my real one.

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    My regular full time job is doing custom database software & reporting on the desktop as well as the web. Not nearly as fun as TPA though... :)

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    For TZ, WW, CFTBL, and T2 I recorded the audio myself from my pins in the basement. I own TZ & T2, and simply burned roms for the other 2 games. I used a direct line in to the digital recorder from the sound board directly using the modification detailed on google ( somewhere ) about getting...

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    Nice work on the Roadshow audio, definitely sounds nice and clean. Can you document your recording procedure a bit more so I can pass it on to FS for future tables? There's definitely compression ruining the sounds, and I'm sure that is a lot of the issue, but I also feel the original DCS...

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    Yeah sorry, FreeWPC. He didn't pull all his info from pinmame, because some of it is different. The 2 issues I had have not been resolved in pinmame, since I did check the code to see if someone had figured it out. If I name the issues, you'll easily guess the people who helped. What I can say...

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    I'm guessing the reason you had more issues with Gottlieb System 3 is because it's running FOUR cpu cores ( 2 for sound, 1 for main, 1 for dmd ), while Capcom is running 2 ( main & sound ). Although the main capcom is running at a higher clock rate and is a 16 bit cpu vs 8, perhaps the...

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    Actually I am the one who emulated it for pinmame, even though I had already retired ( I think I did it in 2006 ). Brian maintains the file ( i.e., adding new rom support ). I've spoken with FS about adding support for it, but as is a common theme, it would not run well ( if at all ) on...

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    Nice catch on AFM! I just checked and you're right it's missing. At first I got nervous that it was an emulation bug, but thankfully further investigation revealed it to be a corrupt sample on the FS server. My sample which I submitted was fine, so I just submitted a new one. No idea when...

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    What I wouldn't give for some access to real information about the wpc asic! Even more so for some of the strange things they do with the sound board data that gets sent over to the dcs and pre-dcs boards. Unfortunately I asked FS repeatedly to get some help from Williams, but we never had any...

    Thanks everyone for the kinds words. I'm glad to be able to share my love of pinball with everyone.

    Capcom emulation is already a reality

    Glad to hear from you as well. My dev PC had some major issues today so I spent a lot of time waiting ( instead of working ), which gave me a chance to catch up on some posts.. :)

    T2 Screens

    Not an FS employee, just someone doing contract work for them -- but I can't stand the pink issue anymore than you guys, and I've complained about it internally before anyone else was aware of it ( i.e, before Twilight Zone screenshots went public, which IRC is when the pink first appeared )...
