Wow -- I am glad you bumped this thread! I wasn't aware of Andy's project (too much of a newbie), but I have now downloaded each of his tracks. They're awesome!

I agree with you about Skee-Ball -- probably my favorite non-video arcade game, because it brings back all kinds of memories of our family vacations in Ocean City, MD. (There were GREAT arcades in Ocean City along the boardwalk!)

The next time I'm in Dave & Busters, I might try recording some ambient sounds, especially Skee-Ball. (My recorder is easy to conceal, but the mic is kind of large. Not sure how D&B's will feel about me recording stuff in their establishment.) I'll post here if I get anything useful.

Heh, no problem...

That'd be cool.  I've taken all kinds of other stuff to Funspot (protractor, measuring tape, digital camera, etc) and they never said anything to me about it.  The sounds on the newer skee-ball machines don't seem to be the same.  I was trying to find model #s etc yesterday but I think my significant other was getting a little embarassed so I stopped poking around.    ;D

 It would be cool if someone could make a program that would allow you to
make a virtual room (top view)...  pop games in it, then drag them into place...
then assign them the sounds.    You select a game for constant play.. attract mode only,  or a random of both .. all with a set-able time to repeat delay.   You could also tweak individual games volumes too.

 Then, select the listen spot.    The program would then adjust the volumes of the games according to how far they were from the listen spot.   Then the app could either just play in the background.. or make a recording mp3.

The program is possible, and it would probably be a neat idea. However, it would pretty much need to record it to a file, because otherwise it'd eat up quite a bit of processing power.

Trying to help seed, is the tracker down for the torrents?
CJK:
Seems to be -- I couldn't get it to work yesterday. Ended up downloading everything from mirror1.
