New: in the basement

Post by Bagdad »

So here it is, latest pin in my collection. (Thanks Pinhead)

As usual, here I go with my neeby questions:

1-What is the best way to update to latest rom. I noticed the machine is still at REV L1. I saw that there was a Rev L2 out there but how do I know its the latest?

2-Do I need to update the sounds rom too? I saw on pinside that they were selling 3 differents sounds rom (huh?!)

3-I think there is a sound issue on the machine. The voices are super loud, but we barely hear the music. If I crank up the sound so the music is at the right volume, then the voices make your head explode. Anyone knows how to troubleshot that?

Thanks.

THere are two pins in the pic, it will help to explain which one you are asking the questions about (90% sure it's Hurricane, but just to be sure).

Look for Dave Astill, or rompingirl on ebay, for roms. He's fast, he's in Canada, and his prices are very good.

You *may* need a specific sound rom to go with your game rom. If updating one, it's probably best to update the other. It only looks like an L-2 game rom and one unversioned sound rom were released for hurricane... (http://ipdb.org/search.pl?any=hurricane ... quick#1257)

The games look great!

pour le son:

en premier retire et remet le cable "plat" du cpu vers la carte de son et vice versa.

ensuite:
Unbalanced Speech and Music.
Here's a story from Phil Brown: I decided to swap the sound boards between my
Addams Family and Funhouse to see if the problem would follow the board or stay
with the machine. After I'd done it, I started a game on Addams and noticed that
the speech and drum effects were much louder than the music, as if the balance
betwwen them had been changed. I then started a game on Funhouse and found
the opposite - it was much harder to hear Rudy's speech over the music. This got
me curious and I had a look at the schematics in the Funhouse manual for the sound
board. It seemed that there are four sound outputs, CVSD, CH1, CH2 and DAC. Just
before the point where they are mixed, they travel through four resistors, R22-R25.
In the schematics, R25/R22 are 150k, and R23/R24 are 120k ohms. R23/R24 are on
the outputs of CH1 and CH2, which I presume is the music. The other two are on
the outputs of CVSD and DAC, which I presume are the speech and sound effect
outputs. I also checked the schematic in the WPC Theory of Operation book and
found the same thing. Then I had a look at the parts list in the Funhouse manual
and the TAF manual - that's when my theory was confirmed. This is what I found:
R# Schem. Funhouse Addams
R25 150k 120k 120k
R24 120k 150k 56k
R23 120k 150k 56k
R22 150k 120k 120k
R21 27k 15k
So, at least for these two machines, Williams has changed the resistor value to
change the balance between speech/sound effects and music. On Funhouse they
have biased the sound toward speech, and on Addams towards music. This means
that WPC audio boards are not quite as interchangable between machines as
thought, although they work, both Addams and Funhouse sound very different.
John Wart added some info to the A-12738 Sound board resistors. The schematics
indicates R22/R25 should be 150k, and R23/R24 should be 120k. However, I never
found a sound board with those values installed. I went through piles of boards from
various games. And after looking at manuals and parts lists I'm convinced that those
values weren't used in those locations! My research indicates that the following
combination was used from Funhouse through Party Zone (FH, HD, BOP, Slugfest, GI,
T2, Hurricane, Party Zone):
R22/R25 = 120k
R23/R24 = 150k
And the rest of the games (Hot Shots basketball through TAFG) used the following:
R22/R25 = 120k
R23/R24 = 56k
So, it would appear that R22/R25 never changed, and R23/R24 are the values that
WMS changed, depending on the game.
In addition there are some capacitors on the pre-DCS sound board that effect sound
balance. If the resistors check out OK for your game, try replacing caps C15, C36,
and C38, as these are filter caps and will help balance the sound of certain
frequencies. If one of these caps is bad, certain frequencies won't sounds as loud or
clear as other frequencies, giving a seemingly unbalanced sound (c.hibler.)

Yeah, Hurricane is the new one indeed :lol:

Pinhead will burn the roms for me (YAY!)

Games look good indeed, but It will need a good cleaing, re-rubbering, and plastics changes.

Later I will also install new LEDs all over the place, color match every inserts, etc... I did that for my Diner and It was a lot of fun! I might go for the PinballBulbs Kit this time, but I'm not sure yet...

J'ai essayé de débrancher/rebrancher les fils, sans succès...?

Je sais pas si sa peut avoir un lien, mais quand je turn on/off la machine, j'entend un espèce de "buzzzzz" dans les speakers. Je n'ai pas ce "buzz" sur ma Diner...?

le buzz est normal sur WPC ... et ta Diner est une system11.


vérifie donc la valeur des resistances suivantes pour le fun?! et/ou est-ce que le serial qui est sur ton sound board match le cpu et le powerdriver board?

(used from Funhouse through Party Zone (FH, HD, BOP, Slugfest, GI, T2, Hurricane, Party Zone):
R22/R25 = 120k
R23/R24 = 150k

Ca prend le manuel pour te dire ou sont les composantes. Tu peux le trouver sur ipdb sur la page de ta machine.
Apres, tu peux dechiffrer la valeur de la resistance par son code de couleur.
Mais je trouve plus simple de la mesurer avec un multimetre.

c'est les sticker blue williams "warranty void if removed" .... et ils ne semblent effectivement pas matcher ...

Non, effectivement, les numéros ne match pas et y'en a même un de "gratter" illisible.

Je vais attendre, Pinhead est supposé m'envoyer un board et tout le kit, on verra à ce moment là.

Anyway en attendant j'me concentre sur ce que je sais faire, la nettoyer pis changer les pièces...

Bon, j'ai finalement pu regarder ça.

J'ai trouvé l'emplacement des Resistor R23/R24. QQn disait qu'il y avait moyen de déchiffrer ça sans un multimètre?

Voici: https://www.apprendre-en-ligne.net/cryp ... t/ohm.html

Tu peux entrer tes couleurs à droite et ça t'indiquera la valeur.

Par contre, plus rapide avec un multimètre. Si je peux te conseiller, un multimètre serait un bon achat, tu en
auras souvent besoin si tu commence a travailler sur tes machines. C'est un outil essentiel.
Pour moins de 50$ tu peux avoir qlq chose de très bien.

Je confirme. Par exemple, j'ai achete ce multimetre pas cher. Ce n'est pas un Fluke mais ca fait la job.

Au debut je pensais que l'auto range serait genial mais c'est vraiment poche.
Heureusement, ce multimetre supporte aussi les echelles manuelles.

Oui, je vais regarder ça pour un multimètre dans un futur rapproché.

Pour le moment, je sais pas si j'ai rentré la bonne chose, ça me donne ce résultat.

Une résistance avec code de couleur brun-vert-jaune-or vaut:
1 5 0000 5% e.g. 150K 5% de tolérance.

La grosseur des résistances semble indiquer 1/2W.

Oui, j'ai utilisé ce site et ça ma donné 150k...

http://www.pinrepair.com/resist/index.htm

Donc,ça voudrait dire que c'est la bonne résistance pour Hurricane selon ce que Mr.Hide disait:

(used from Funhouse through Party Zone (FH, HD, BOP, Slugfest, GI, T2, Hurricane, Party Zone):
R22/R25 = 120k
R23/R24 = 150k

Sinon, j'ai regardé les Serials et les Numéro de pièces des boards et ils match avec ceux du manuel, sauf le CPU board.

Je vois pas le numero de pièce du CPU board, mais le # de model du sérial n'est pas celui de Hurricane (50012). On voit pas le premier chiffre du #, mais la fin est (*0017) et c'est marqué Bally/Midway au lieu de Williams comme les autres.

Ça pourrait avoir un lien avec mon problème, ou aucun rapport?
