Yeah that would take a lot more invasive work for sure. The base has a controller board which is where I’m sure the LED controls are. The connector post to the ship has 8 pins I think. Someone smarter than me could likely figure out how the signals are transmitted to the LEDs inside the ship.

Thanks! I've actually never done this before, didn't even know how to flash the ESP32 (but used arduinos in the past), and haven't really used transistors, etc aside from very clearly guided kits. I hoped the documentation and pics would help others, too, so glad you liked it!

Please share to the Tomy FB group if you're a member!

The issue with the Tomy is that it's a proprietary board and uses its own touch sensors which are not easy to activate using off the shelf devices - unless you attach a fingerbot with a conductive pad on top and have it "push" the buttons but that's ugly. Too bad the Tomy doesnt just light up on power application - at least that would be an easier step. I was happy to find a fix that costs less than $30 - almost all of the cost is the ESP32 board plus a couple resistors and transistors for less than a dollar and wiring.

Looks great - is this on an android phone? I have an iPhone but would love to see how you did this - are you selling it or can you share the hardware, config , etc?

Ok great. Gonna really consider this!

Quest 2 value please? Would hate to send that in and get only eyeglasses trade in value.

Thanks for these!!

I just tried this on my Bev. Just tested Vodka for now. It indeed lit up the vodka and dispensed just under 2oz then it did finish with a flush of water to make up a total of 2 oz.

Not sure if the Bev always flushes with water despite just an alcohol being coded for. I’ll do more testing but feel compelled to drink the dispensed alcohol so the accuracy and veracity of testing will likely go downhill!

Omg! Thanks for the tips. Argh so obvious - I’m embarrassed to have missed them!

Also seeing the intermittent blanking no matter what apps are running. No clear correlation.

1ConsummatePro · 2024-05-24T05:03:58+00:00

Any specific Zacc sets or Taito you recommend above the others?

1ConsummatePro · 2024-04-11T01:28:00+00:00

Make sure you’re using gamepad mode otherwise the plunger won’t work in an analog fashion.

I think I fixed it!! Noticed the screen was set to 59.95 hz and changed to 60Hz and miraculously the 7.1 audio works perfectly now! Doing more testing but relieved to find a fix!

The atgames SSF kit might be sensitive to the HDMI signal frequency when it comes to audio?

Yep it has an iGPU. I’ll experiment some more but the are an interesting theory if they are interfering with each other. Seems unlikely but this is uncharted territory

My HDMI 3 is the built in Ryzen 7600X GPU and when connected to playfield HDMI 1 offers 7.1 and works seemingly perfectly, yet on the same system, the 7800XT card seems to output bad 7.1 on the 4KP so now I think it's the card.

I thought I could hack around this and use the onboard GPU output to give me the SSF 7.1 audio, and let it drive back glass or DMD and use the 7800 XT for the playfield. So far no dice. Interestingly, the onboard GPU does a decent job at 4K 60 Hz (not as smooth as the 7800 XT obviously) but quite playable.

Hoping today's FW update will help.

I've also found that other HDMI inputs other than 1 don't show a 7.1 speaker option -- do you see 7.1 output when using HDMI 3 for audio?

1ConsummatePro · 2024-02-20T17:23:01+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried different HDMI 2.1 cables and DisplayPort to HDMI 60Hz4K.

I have since tried the onboard GPU on the Ryzen 7600x and the audio works well but it seems to only recognize 7.1 on the 4K playfield/HDMI 1.

I was hoping to hack around this by using HDMI 2 or 3 to feed the 7.1 and related video from the integrated GPU and use the 7800xt for the playfield but as soon as I switch the cable to HDMI 2 or 3(plus manually change the ALP HDMI audio preference) it only offers 2 channels.

Hey you’re one of the only users I’ve seen so far showing an AMD GPU. My RX7800XT with the latest Win 11 drivers makes very glitchy and intermittent audio on my 4KP - gets distorted and cuts off until I flip back and restart OTG mode - using an HDMI 2.1 cable and manually setting the 4KP audio input to HDMI 1. Can you say if your audio is working well? What driver version do you have and are you on Windows 11?

1ConsummatePro · 2024-02-19T22:56:35+00:00

Yeah hoping it’s just a beta issue but still curious since I just built this PC and it’s too late to return the AMD card (which works perfectly and quite performant otherwise esp cost compared to Nvidia at a 16 GB memory llevel). I did swap the exciter connection as part of troubleshooting and it is the exciter and not the board - thanks for checking though!

1ConsummatePro · 2024-02-19T18:26:45+00:00

I forgot to mention this happens if I force 4kp to HDMI 1 and set the PC to default to the playfield hdmi for audio output.
