I have downloaded gimp and cannot figure out how to load or setup the palette as suggested. Can anyone help out with a tutorial for dummies (me). thx.

My Spideyman crashes when i replace <import over> this image. The machine will reset when it encounters the point in the game when this image appears. Does anybody see anything about this frame or sequence that makes replacing it a problem. I have a graphics guy helping me that is trying to reproduce the palette suggested.

Replacing sounds is very easy. Read the first post. Follow the link provided in the sound area. Start clicking buttons. If you can post on here , you can replace sounds.

Rules of replacement:

1. Replacement sound or song must be same or similar length of original sound call. The length of all sounds is shown in the pinball browser software.
2. Replacement sound or song must be a 24000hz WAV format. (Get free software Audacity to open and export sound files). There is a little box in the bottom left to put 24000 in that changes the bit rate of any opened file.
3. Find the sound you want to replace in the BIN file and IMPORT the new WAV file over it. use the SAVEAS button to make a new BIN file. Load BIN file.

Use the internet to ask questions about Audacity software, such as "how do i change the bit rate of a file in audacity"

If you don't try, you fail.

Has anybody replaced JACKPOT callouts on 24? Seems to be the first thing on anyone 24 owners agenda.

I am almost ashamed to admit that i am working on sound replacement for Spider-man. It is the only compatible game i own. Thanks oga83 for providing this tool to help infuse a little variety into pinball games.

I can tell you in SM, it clears everything every time. Does the name of the BIN file have anything to do with it. I like to keep track of my revisions with the name of the file.

Spider-Man has no "update failed - error code 8" although i have not tried your latest Pinball Browser Versions.

i know i am

Anyone who wants to PM me can have everything i have mapped, which is a ton. I only ask that when you fill in the blank parts, you email the file back to me!

I spent an entire day doing this before i started.

This is an excel file with 611 entries. Sound mappings only.

<EDIT : I ONLY HAVE SPIDERMAN MAPPINGS>

absolutely

Youtube. Maybe not the best source for quality , but otherwise you need DVD's and patience.

My method is to record them into Audacity (free reliable BS-free download) from youtube.

Set the "rate" to 24000 in the lower left and use the "track" pulldown menu to change to mono.

You can highlight parts of the sound you want to erase and just hit the delete button on the keyboard. CNTRL Z is UNDO (very helpful).

Other commands that are helpful are under "effects". Compressor should be used. I just use the defaults for that. Highlight (drag the mouse) and FADE IN and or FADE OUT the beginning and very end.

Export (file menu) to WAV format and click "clear" on the pop up that asks for information.

Be sure to name the file with the file length (press the end keyboard key while in Audacity sound file). Example "Merle - Bunch of pussies 0s 952ms.wav"

Keeping the imported sound the same length or "shorter" is essential to a good mix.

Use the latest version of Pinball Browser and make sure to DONATE.

I have learned everything about the process from this thread and the recommended sound threads.

Good luck

For the record , there is no way i would have bought nib metle and twdle without pinball browser.

It's the modern age, consumers want more from their products.

thanks OGA!

cheers to laziness

This is Walking Dead LE 1.24 and 1.19 side by side. New sound positions are on the left and the Millhouse TWD version is on the right. Personally, i cannot see a "shift" pattern that makes sense, but i don't know a lot about how these things work. Is this a simple shift or have they changed sound script positions to the point of having to examine everything line by line again.

Just one example of many script position changes i am hoping look simple to a smarter person .

Hoping to come up with a re-mapping solution.

thank you .. i think there is a lot of shifting to be done. doh!

00-temp-pb.png

i haven't been able to get the shiftid command to work ..no matter what shifts i put in on walking dead 1.41 , i get an error. Has anybody used this before with success.

ShiftId,1,0x35,0x36
ShiftId,1,0x37,0x38
ShiftId,1,0x39,0x3B
ShiftId,1,0x3D,0x40
ShiftId,1,0xA7C0,0xA7F
ShiftId,1,0x1C4B,0xC93

These are the shifts i found.

every one of them gives an error. separate or together

Seems simple enough , but doesnt work . must be something wrong i am doing. I did make a mistake with the previous numbers i posted.

thanks for your help.

doh!

Now that's great news. Thanks for all of your work.

For starters i would at least replace the current songs with the original recordings.

Another Holy Sh!t from me. So grateful for what can be done already.

Didn't do that .. but i did this.

I think the ramones might squeak into the next revision

thanks

Slippery slope for Stern. Pinball Browser is leading to more Stern pinball purchases , like it or not.

Walking dead doesn't have show voices. No problem, Pinball Browser
Want to get more value out of your pinball purchase. Pinball browser expands the possibilities to customize your machine.
Kiss pinball has crappy re-recorded music ? PB!
Don't want Enter Sandman and the omission of Cliff Burton ruining your Metallica experience? PB!
Want to turn Spider-Man into Fartman? Blasphemy! Screw it , Pinball Browser!

Things that would stop people from a purchase , like these type of personal preferences, are now a non-issue if you have; say it with me:

P I N B A L L B R O W S E R !!!

Probably need more specific information , such as version etc. Have you donated to get a license? You can always try an older version that had less restrictions, but if its a donate thing, this guy deserves the $$.

I can try it here possibly if you want to pm.

I am just making an educated guess. I am licensed and have replaced 1000's of sounds with no issue. I do follow the threads and with my bad memory, i thought that around Metallica time, a license was required for certain tasks or maybe even to open the BIN. I could be wrong, but the error message seems to be implying something. Hopefully it is something else . Care to share the details of the code you are trying to modify? I don't have any experience with Spike as of yet.

Good luck.

The answer seems to lie within the FAQ:

What are the differences between the free and the registered version ?
In the free version, the restrictions are :
- Images cannot be imported (but they can still be modified with the integrated editor).
- Videos (Spike) cannot be imported.
- Sounds that are longer than 10s cannot be imported.
- Macros cannot be played and patches cannot be loaded.

every time you change a BIN a macro file is created ... easiest way to go back in time is to run the macro on the stock rom and delete the entry you want to change back. you can modify the macro in notepad or within the browser.

I have an excel file of all of the spiderman sound mappings if it can help you. PM your email

I have a subject changer.

does the SHIFT ID method work anymore when Stern changes the sound locations or are they completely scrambling them making it impossible.
