Strikes N' Spares (Gottlieb 1995) Lebowski Mod

---

This is a Lebowski themed mod of mfuegemann, zany, and Warbler33's Gottlieb Strikes N' Spares, a completely different game from the excellent Lebowski mod of Bally's Strikes AND Spares already on this site.

Works best on vpx10.7 - I am getting strange artifacts in 10.8

 

Most of the modification is audio with close to 100 sound bites cheering and jeering your rolls in this bowling simulator. I didn't have much visual stuff to play with so I added a third DMD (it already has two) for fun, and turned the steel balls into swirly bowling balls. The music folder is named the same as the original idigstuff SandS lebowski mod, I only changed a couple tracks. You will need to drop the nvram and cfg files into the correct pinmame folders. The cfg file lowers the volume of the background and cheering tracks from the rom, as I supplied alternates. Big thanks to the original authors mfuegemann and
zany, and Warbler33 for the vpx conversion.

 

If any advanced builders see this, I am desperate for advice on how to handle a memory leak. I am sure it is because there are constantly multiple balls on the table, so this is technically an extended multiball game, even though most of the balls are at rest and essentially captive balls.  It cripples the game on my underpowered system after about 3 single player games, and I have to restart.  This was always an issue with the original vpx conversion, the vp9 one plays just fine.
