Bally AS-28518-32 Star Trek Pinball Custom Sound Board #14: Plug and Play

I show how easy it is to install my custom Bally Star Trek pinball sound board. I then go through some of the features and show off the different types of backgrounds you can get by selecting different DIP switch settings.
Get yours at my website at geeteoh.com
I bet you will never be able to play a stock sounding Star Trek pinball game again.
I also have versions of the board for Bally KISS and Bally Lost World pinball machines.

Failing miserably at repairing my old sound card (darn that diode CR4!) I decided to upgrade to this card. WOW! It’s like augmented AI! Rather than primitive dings and beeps you get dozens of actual Star Trek voices. For example, when you drain the ball and the game is over instead of a beep you might get Spock mockingly “Intelligent but not experienced”, McCoy “It’s dead Jim”, Scotty “You cannot argue with a machine” or something else. I’ve generally stayed with the “factory” settings but the options are insane. You can apparently flip a DIP switch if you prefer background music from the TV show or the movies. How amazing this would be if you plug into the card’s headphone jack (yes it has one) and running it into the home stereo? I highly recommend this card. OK it’s twice the price of a stock replacement sound card but you’re getting twenty times the features and flexibility.

Amazing sound improvement

[@JohnEricBooth]

Awesome. I have big plans for this! I was wondering if the bonus countdown and lanes can use a custom sound as well instead of the stock "ping" sound?

[@geeteoh1]

No. There is no way to tell them apart from any other +10, +100, or +1000 scoring item.

[@JohnEricBooth]

@@geeteoh1 no... What I meant is, can a custom sound be applied to those? As in the same custom sound for both. I would ultimately love to get away from any of the stock sounds.

[@geeteoh1]

@@JohnEricBooth no you cannot set them different

[@geeteoh1]

Looking at your question again. The +10, +100 and +1000 as well as all 18 (or so) stock sounds are WAV files on the MicroSD card. Sou you can put different sound files for each. Like different quick laser sounds for each short scoring sound. Not sure why I said before that they are stuck at stock.
