[New PuP-Pack Alert]ACDC Luci PuPPack

[newer]

Is there now any Solution that this pup pack is working right? 

[Gnilims]

Found this topic, after having the same issue of both rom sounds and pup sounds overlapping. The various responses helped me ultimately fix it. Here's what I did, hoping it helps someone.

1. Before installing any new rom or pup pack, run the table (I played AC/DC LUCI Premium VR Stern 2013 v1.1) and see if it generally works. For me this worked with sound and DMD, no backglass or anything.
2. In my case this created two empty folders in PUPVideos: acd_170 and acd_170h
3. I downloaded the pup pack and unzipped it into the PUPVideos acd_170h folder
4. If you stop here, like I did, you will likely have the overlapping sounds issue
5. I downloaded the muted rom file, acd_170hc.zip
6. In the VPinMAME roms folder, I renamed the existing acd_170hc.zip to acd_170hc.zip.original so that it won't be used, but I can go back if needed
7. I copied the downloaded acd_170hc.zip into the roms folder
8. I edited VPMAlias.txt in the VPinMAME folder. I added a line at the top with just this "acd_170h, acd_170hc"
9. Restart vpx and load up the table.

This worked for me. Hope it helps someone.

I really cannot figure out this muted rom. I am getting the puppack and the rom playing at the same time. So, I downloaded the muted rom, placed acd_170hc into the roms folder. Went into the table script, commented out the line for cGameName = "acd_170h" and enabled the line cGameName = "acd_170hc" I also added the lines to the VPMAlias file "acd_170hc,acd_170h" and I also tried it as "acd_170h,acd_170hc", I renamed the original rom file to acd_170h.original. I did all these things and no matter what I have tried I cannot get the muted rom to work, I get either an error about the rom not being found or a gamename error from VPX. I really have no idea what I'm missing, and any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks. 

 

****UPDATE******

 

For anyone else having issues with the PuP Pack and Roms playing over each other and not being able to get the muted rom to work, make sure you are using the sc version of vpinmame, once I got that version installed mine worked first try.

This is great, thanks! However, the music of the pup pack overlaps with the table music and is slighty out of sync. However, when I mute the rom, I no longer get the callouts from the table. How can I get callouts AND the better music quality from the pup pack?

Actually I did miss something obvious.
Thanks to "Androctonus" for pointing me in the correct direction.
For some reason I had overwritten the dmddevice.ini with a default one while updating something, completely missing the following code.

Man after nearly 3 weeks of search was so happy to see this, Thank you so much 🍻🍺

Same question here. Most important FX sound missing is the big bell when hitting it on the table. With the muted rom this sound is missing and no gear motor is shaking the cabinet any more which is the case with the original rom. Any ideas?

This was driving me nuts!  Thanks so much for this, I was not using the 'sc' version.  Does anyone know what the difference is (besides one works!)

Afaik it stands for "stern colorized", so it's the version you need in order to get colorized DMDs running on Stern tables.
