I bought a Project Diva Arcade Future Tone Cabinet!

I don't think PD-Loader adds anything besides what's already there.

Looks fine to me. If you are the one @steelpuxnastik mentioned, you might be missing the 0xfd escaping. Also if you want something validated to compare to you can check this out.

 

That's correct.

 

in the zeroplus program you can see that the game never reports leds in a row.
maybe i just don't understand something, i never did anything with serial before.

N10248's slider: http://mikucity.com/cabinet/slider/idle in test menu.txt
arduino:
psoc:
it's so bad on psoc that the game sends EnableSliderReport about every second
i also tried it on esp32 and it also was fine

is it possible that the code runs too fast and because of that the game expects lower latency during reports ?

 

That doesn't sound right. What's the scan interval of your slider widget? It could be that the reporting rate is too low.

Also: not a real solution, but you can give LKP-FW a try. I just added support for 15275 serial protocol and it seems to work in game.

 

Thank You

After reading the logs i think i know what i have to do. It seems like it's suppose to be like that. For EnableSliderReport my software always returns slider with no segments activated. i assumed it was only used one time so i made it like this to not add delay during initialization. in other words sega sucks and my arduino implementation works better than the original slider.
guess which one is the original

i will use your project but i want to finish mine at some point. i don't have analog output and leds only work on the arduino.

 

Soooo @N10248 I posted some questions for you on Discord on the ProjectDiva.net server about this project more than just the monitor used as I asked already in this thread, but I can post them here as well since I don't know how active you are on Discord:

Below is a screenshot of my system specs. I do have a motherboard in there with RealTek audio, though I have two displays connected... Would that pose an issue with performance?



I would also use a headset (a Logitech G430 with analog to digital converter via USB) for my audio. Would that mess with audio processing? I could easily connect that headset directly to the front panel analog audio jacks if that would help any. I am using the DivaSound plugin. I have it working with a DIVALLER controller. I'm also using the inject method... I can't explain it any better as someone literally dropped working setup onto mine and it works, so yeah. lol.

I'd also like to have at least the audio outputting to two different sources (i.e. headphones for me and if someone wants to watch me play through a TV like you have it set up etc)

I'd like my setup to work as closely to a NU cab as possible, or at least as well as yours does (with or without touch screen functionality... doesn't bother me).

Another question: if I somehow got ahold of a NU-equipped AFT cab how hard would it be to load it up with my working dump that I use already with my DIVALLER? i.e. I'd want the stock songs SEGA/CFM market it with, as well as the MegaMix songs and Bless Your Breath etc.

I've got my AFT dump working with deadm33ks' online leaderboard server. I only use that to keep track of my scores, but it's not really all that necessary to have functional.

I tried using VoiceMeeter for that and the audio does split, but with added latency, making AFT unplayable.

Here's a screenshot of my motherboard and CPU specs:







And finally I have an NVidia GTX 660 Ti 2GB I believe. I've overspec'd the Nu hardware spec like you have, and it runs decently well, but the audio stuff is annoying me. Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

Thanks for the thorough response! I'll install those older drivers to see if it helps, but I seem to remember having issues getting the drivers installed to begin with... Also maybe I wasn't asking this well enough but what's the best way to output to a TV without impacting any gameplay? I'd like to have it where I have headphones on to reduce controller latency, but also have it so people watching can hear the action as well. How did you do it on your TV? I'll have to check for that Black surround port on my motherboard (I think it has it).

 

LOL I have mostly the same setup except it's a Dell Optiplex SFF with a low profile 1650 (shader patch needed but the alternative aka 1050ti is scam tier priced on ebay). Can handle most PVs at 4K and all PVs at 1440P no problem.

 

okay! I'll have to get/source some speakers then.. RIP. Thanks for the tip!

 

Okay soooo @N10248 I tried the headphone port thing direct on my motherboard and I can only get a connected speaker working connected to the green headphone jack but the black jack doesn't output anything at the same time as the the green headphone/speaker jack. I can change button sfx with its slider, but the headphone slider does NOTHING. I went into config.ini and set Stereo to 0, because my "build" of AFT isn't using PD-Loader directly. I'm using the "Deadm33ks" version with SegaTools and access to their online leaderboards network etc. via Inject.exe. I guess you can call it a reverse engineering of AIME.net/ALL.net that Sega uses on real AFT machines on actual NU hardware? I'm downloading some ALC892-compatible audio chipset drivers for Windows 10 to see if that fixes it, but otherwise I wouldn't mind having a fully working offline non-Segatools'd copy of AFT if you could help me with that if it comes to it. I have a copy of vanilla AFT somewhere but it doesn't run very stable and it doesn't see my DIVALLER controller. If you could help me get vanilla AFT working with all the MM songs as well as Bless your Breath and Greenlight Serenade I'd be grateful, but again only if it comes to that.

EDIT: If I have the speaker connected to the front panel headphone jack with it just slightly disconnected I can indeed get audio from both speakers and headphones, but the in-game audio settings for game audio still don't work.. only the "switch" slider works.

EDIT 2: The drivers I downloaded and installed didn't change anything.

EDIT 3: SInce I have it half working (just without software controls) I'm happy, and I'll try the video mirroring later, but when I get around to building my mobo and whatnot into some sort of cabinet it'd be nice having the software control working, yakno?

 

I didn't quite delete divasound.dva and its ini file... I renamed them though to divasound__.dva and .ini. is that enough? Also to note I think my problem could be that my motherboard in that system isn't quite Windows 10 compatible... I think it came out during the Windows 7 and 8.x eras. so if I was to downgrade to 8.x maybe I'd have better results all around? IDK. And sure I'll try your PD-Loader implementation. I'll make a copy of my current setup first of course.

Re: Control Panel applet, I don't see one. I'm not sure if the Asrock website has the OEM drives etc anymore, but I can look. EDIT I did and what I downloaded from another site is the same version as they're offering on their own and it didn't come with a control panel applet as far as I can tell.

 

OK so if you are using KitProg's built in serial port, stop using it immediately and switch to something better. KitProg serial have horrible latency that totally ruins the timing of the slider.

 

Yeah, agree, KitProg is good for programming and OK for very simple first testing, but you will not use it in final version, so better to use something like this (I use this and it's works good).

 

Is I understand, game can work with audio without DivaSound at all on onboard Realtek audio (because it's basically created for it) and I really had problems with it yeas ago, when I first tried PDAFT after PDA, because I have ESI Juli@ soundcard and simply do not have even drivers installed for onboard audio, but when I tried game on onboard audio - it worked, because I tried TLAC and I didn't know about PD-Loader and that it has DivaSound and as I remember DivaSound can be used only when you have some problems with audio (no audio).
I will buy new old PC for PDAFT today and try this assumption again :)
