About This File

This is an altsound in G-Sound format for Alien Star (Gottlieb 1984).  I tried to tastefully do it without "overdoing it".  Hopefully, you will enjoy.    I feel like the game play sounds of targets, bumpers, and slings match the game and also some pretty dramatic endgame sounds that are pretty cool.  @DarthVito said "I love the sfx you have when the ball loads up after a drain, very very cool.  Almost don’t mind draining lol! "      Hehe, I take that as a compliment and actually feel the same way. :)  Cheers man!


This has ended up being a culmination of original (pseudo stereo processed), replaced, and supplemented sounds that seem to go really good with this table.  Please make sure you read the latest versions release notes nad update your VpinMame to a version that supports Gottlieb System 80A altsound processing.


***NOW FIXED*** see v4 release notes.
Please note that some roms (like this one) appear to have a clocking pattern of sound calls that seem to get in the way of sound playback.  You will probably experience some sounds not registering from time to time or even the background sounds not appearing at first, but them come in on the 2nd ball.  90% of the time it's all good though and some of the intermittent sounds missed aren't really that bad.   I talked to @MrGrynch about this and hopefully one day there will be a modification to the altsound processing to drop these unnecessary calls.  This rom in particular sends out a flood of calls to 0x000.  When this happens, hopefully these sounds drops will stop.  For now, this is what we have and I do hope you enjoy.

Be on the lookout for @UnclePaulie's release of Alien Star and @hauntfreaks backglass.    It's a fun table and where at all possible, I want to give @BorgDog much thanks for providing the graphic assets!  This table would not have been possible if he didn't give permission to redo it and hand off his graphics like he did.  Thank you kind sir!

Here's a  quick youtube video to demonstrate all the various sounds that are in this pack:

***IMPORTANT RELEASE NOTES***
I'm happy to say that I worked with @MrGrynch and he took the time program basic support for Gottlieb System 80A games.  Some of the details can be read about here: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/issues/216 

And NOW, altsound support for Gottlieb System 80A is now part of VPinMAME and merged to "master"  after 2/8/2024!!! YES!  So, grab the latest master and update if you wan to try this altsound out - https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/actions
 

After this was done, I worked to expand my original G-Sound and am now ready to make this release along with this announcement.  @Smaug you may want to update and give this new altsound a try again. :)


Give it a try, enjoy, and let us know what you think!
