Hi all

 

Some of the machines I play on MFME are quite quiet and others loud. I've been using the PC's own volume control to alter them but even with this up full some (DOND Banker Rings Twice for one) seem quite quiet?

 

I wondered if there was a setting within the machines themselves for the volume and then I could set each machine to the same volume and not have to worry about touching the PC volume controls?

 

Thanks

In the case of The Banker Rings Twice, open the layout, if necessary press f9 to show the doors and in and out meters.

 

Then check the c door and refill boxes. Once it's finished going into door open mode, keep hitting the start button until you get to volume control and hit the start button straight away again. Then you can adjust the volume using cancel and hold 1 button.

 

When finished just close the door.

 

On MPU5 machines, after the machine has finished initialising, simply hold down hold button 2 and check refill, to

take you to the volume control.

 

It depends on the tech of the machine, how you change the volume and a search of the FME forums, should bring up, how to do it for each tech.

That is superb wearecity! Thank you for the info. Very much appreciated

there's a quicker way wearacity!

if you tick bank 1 switch no6 in configuration then tick the refill box it'll let you fill the machine plus go through the test mode until it shows 8.2 volume then adjust accordingly

this doesn't require the back doors open as you suggested this works on All scorp4 & 5 machines

You can press shift and + as well.

Those hotkeys work for me, but not on all machines. Deal or no deal bank on it is quiet and due to bad accessibility issues my screenreader cannot read door switches so I can't do either of these methods. How do you adjust volume for Epoch tech and Astra partytime/celebration? I'm looking for that very distorted sound you see in arcades on the simpsons machines and homer's meltdown. Duff beer guide has no effect on the volume hotkeys as far as distorted volume goes. Can anyone send me mods of these machines rather than me having to go through creating layouts which I haven't the faintest how to do? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Managed to sort it out thanks to you!

how do you turn up volume on happy camping?

[I have finished]

Hi Infection. Simply press shift = to turn it up. It works for me. thing is, it can get very very distorted. If that's what you're after like a busy seaside arcade, then that's for you. If you want a bar atmosphere, turn it down by shift and - together. Best do it when you have nudgesffect happening.

[innfection]

I used Shift + and its still quiet

[ploggy]

Hold down the second hold button plus refill.  You can change the volume on most MPU5 machines by doing this. 

 

Empire machines don't allow this method.  You have to go into the test modes and set the volume there on Empires.

Try this.

 

Go to open the layout in v5.1, it will error. Then open it in v6.1 and it should have the sound back up.

 

First MPU5 machine where holding button 2 and ticking refill doesn't work.

[innfection]

I opened machine in 6.1 and volume is low and i cant seem to find a way to turn it up. Ive got a menu for testing audio but cant find way to turn it io

Has anyone tried my suggestion?

[richy1976]

Just the same Wac.

[wearecity]

Strange mine is fine now.

 

I've attached it, see if it works for you guys.

 

If still not working, try opening and closing the .gam file.

The unknown input error is probably because the refill button number is incorrect in the configuration.  Change it to 11, and you should be able to change the volume in the usual way without the error.
