MAMEWorld Forums - News - Visual PinMAME v3.1

Visual PinMAME v3.1 has been released (on 07/29/2018).

What's New:

Version 3.1 (July 29th, 2018) - "Flippin' fast"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fix wrong gain/volume of voices/sound effects in Sound Mode 1 (i.e. builtin alternate sound file support)
Further improve M114 sound core (Mr. Game)
Add save credits support for Bow & Arrow
Fix neverending sounds on LTD system 4 games, added sound support for Cowboy Eight Ball and Zephy
Fix S.A.M. PulseSolState (needed for mech) and bug in Family Guy mini-playfield lights and move the (non-modulated) LED outputs in Tron LE that occupied
columns 8 and 9 so far (i.e. disabling the start button lamps) to cols 11 and 12
Implement 'fast flips' support for some S.A.M. games: Recommended table implementation is to use direct/fast flipper flips when solenoid 33 is on, but to
respond to the standard flipper solenoids when 33 is off (acd_168h, acd_170, acd_170h, avr_200, avs_170, bbh_170, bdk_294, csi_240, fg_1200, ij4_210, im_183ve, mt_145h, mtl_170h, nba_802, potc_600, rsn_110h, shr_141, smanve_101, st_161h, tf_180, tf_180h, trn_174h, twd_160, twd_160h, twenty4_150, wof_500, wpt_140a, xmn_151h)
Implement proper 'fast flips' support for some WPC-S games: Still uses solenoid 31 (WHO Dunnit)
Implement 'fast flips' support for most WPC-95 games: Takes over solenoid 31, so is compatible with the existing VP core scribts UseSolenoids=2 implementation (Attack from Mars, Cactus Canyon, Champion Pub, Cirqus Voltaire, Congo, Fish Tales, Junk Yard, Medieval Madness, Monster Bash, NBA Fastbreak, No Good Go(l)fers, Safe Cracker, Scared Stiff, Tales of the Arabian Nights)
Implement 'fast flips' support for most Whitestar games: Uses solenoid 15 (apollo13, austin, Dale Jr., Elvis, godzilla, Grand Prix, harl_a30, hirolcas, id4, jplstw22, Lord of the Rings, lostspc, monopoly, NASCAR, nfl, playboys, rctycn, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, shrkysht, simpprty, Sopranos, spacejam, sprk_103, startrp2, strikext, strxt_uk, swtril43, term3, twst_405, vipr_102, xfiles)
Implement 'fast flips' support for most Capcom games: Uses solenoid 51 (abv106, bbb109, bsv103, ffv104, Kingpin, Pinball Magic)
Fix some (unfortunately not all) AT91 JIT crashes (i.e. S.A.M. and Whitestar II)
Fix GameOn solenoid instability when ModSol is in use: This should remove the need for tweaks in tables that use the VPMModSol=1 flag (a multi-threading problem - the code temporarily was juggling solenoids 28-32 (as they get moved to 37+ in some cases), but VPM can be used to read the values while the calculation was still updating solenoids)
Cleanup, unify and clarify some of the game names/variants
Fixed Cheap Squeak sound ROM loading for 8K sized ROMs, Space Hawks's and Dark Shadow's original sound ROMs are working now
Un-cloned some Bell games (different gameplay, different solenoid assignment, missing aux lamps etc.)
