Content Provider arngrim Posted September 3, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 3, 2014 Those expansion boards look like the designed exactly the same as the normal board. It's a matrixed way of powering the mosfets. They probably extended it by making the matrix bigger. maybe, but can you help on this?
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 3, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 3, 2014 arngrim where can I find the sam vpinmame source? My coworker can help with this, I'm optimistic. "it's not even "matrixed" it is just stepping up the control voltage/current from the microcontroller to a level where it can turn the Frankinfets on or off without burning up the micro"
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 3, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 3, 2014 Is it the same board as LE models from previous games? ie. if we emulate this can we get Metallica LE working?
Content Provider 85vett Posted September 3, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 3, 2014 Is it the same board as LE models from previous games? ie. if we emulate this can we get Metallica LE working? Yes. If you get the aux boards working it will allow for Metallica LE, Star Trek to work correctly, ability to release Mustang ( of course when out of production) and me to be able to upgrade X-men to LE with the knight cralwers and spinning disc.
FreeMason Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 "it's not even "matrixed" it is just stepping up the control voltage/current from the microcontroller to a level where it can turn the Frankinfets on or off without burning up the micro"I think you are right. It's 12 pins.. I have never looked at the vpinmame source, and i have no clue how it works. My knowledge of assembly is limited to what i learned when i studied computer engineering a long time ago. So mainly Motorola 68000/6800 and that was like 20 years ago. Where is de dev that made the SAM implementation, can't he help?
Content Provider arngrim Posted September 4, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 4, 2014 beware that the dmd animation of the le roms are really slow and can't be used asis without being fixed
FreeMason Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 beware that the dmd animation of the le roms are really slow and can't be used asis without being fixed Do you know why this is? Is it the animation itself? I mean resolution never changed, i can only imagine that they managed to push more shades out of the SAM board with new firmware?
Content Provider arngrim Posted September 4, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 4, 2014 no that's not that, that's almost the same animation than the PRO roms, same resolution, same number of shades, as far as i know, it's something else, and i have no clue why or where who when. That's why we need gurus, and no just to add aux boards, also fix ij4, csi issue, and a review of all the sam code would not be a luxe because the code that is used now is from a very old version
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 4, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 4, 2014 I can only promise to try and help with getting LE emulation It would be awesome if we had a dev who could look at everything, I also would like CSI and IJ4 fixed. Didn't know about the LE animation issues... hopefully just getting it implemented will kick start the process. I'll keep you updated
Content Provider arngrim Posted September 4, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 4, 2014 just run a le rom and you will see the slow animation
Loafmeister Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Tron LE is not affected by this correct? So this hints towards the aux board, maybe as a hack there's some kind of "skip" function that is in the current VPM code to allow the missing aux to not prevent the rom from running, but it's causing the framey issue you describe.
maxfx4u Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 arngrim where can I find the sam vpinmame source? My coworker can help with this, I'm optimistic. "it's not even "matrixed" it is just stepping up the control voltage/current from the microcontroller to a level where it can turn the Frankinfets on or off without burning up the micro" Ive seen a few peeps ask where vpinmame source is located, but no one ever seems to responde. Maybe thats a start.
BlackPredator72 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Is it also possible to recreate a Pinball 2000 (RFM/SWE1) ? Would be nice with the video screen as a dB2S.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 8, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 8, 2014 We cannot emulate p2k, we'd get shut down so quickly.
BlackPredator72 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Why is that different than those Stern tables ? And soon even the Aux tables I presume ? The P2K tables are already 15 years old....
Dodger1980 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Back to topic... 85vett released his Dark Knight table. So I would like to see Shrek next *just kidding*
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted September 8, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 8, 2014 Why is that different than those Stern tables ? And soon even the Aux tables I presume ? The P2K tables are already 15 years old.... Good question - I heard at one point Destruk was working on an FP version using images grabbed from the code. In other words, no emulation of the hardware itself. He got a C&D which ended that effort. Weird story as no one has been so protective of any other property. Of course, I may be just repeating rumor. Who knows?
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 8, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 8, 2014 Something like that. There's a copyright owner of the pin2k system who steadfastly refuses to let us emulate them. I think there was a thread about it on gopinball or maybe it was at vpf, it's been a while http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=8050&hl=episode&page=8 starts here on page 8
Brtlkat Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 p2k has been emulated, well maybe not 100%. Pinbox, One can get it to work on a standard computer but still has no controls through the keyboard.
garfield63 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Hi, what about bug's bunny birthday pinball? Great table, but as far as I know, it hasn't been released in FS Vpt...
Loafmeister Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Bug bunny: being worked on I think by bodydump?
Content Provider bodydump Posted September 9, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 9, 2014 Hi, what about bug's bunny birthday pinball? Great table, but as far as I know, it hasn't been released in FS Vpt...
Brtlkat Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Very cool, Bugs Bunny looks great, I cannot wait
hiljak Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 how about an 85vett version of Family Guy!
