How long do I wait for audio conversion?

[p9pins]

Downloaded and installed Julian GNR 42.

Installed the usb drive.

Powered up game. It beeps seven times and a female voice says "performing audio conversion, please wait."

Over and over again..... No G and R but some elevator music.

Do I have bad files, Corruption, bad board?

30 minutes and still nothing.

Any suggestions to what is going or not going on?

If the sound package is really big, you will have to wait up to 2 or 3 hours.

You should hear the progress "10 percent...", "20 percent...", ...

Just installed the 1.40 release, it has taken about 1H30.

I just got a Pinsound Plus for a DE The Who's Tommy.  I updated the firmware as instructed when I installed the board.  I placed a USB 3.0 Sandisk 32GB flash drive in the socket with 2 sound packages - the original sounds for the machine and the original motion picture soundtrack. 

Is audio conversion SUPPOSED to take a long time?  Is it supposed to happen every time the machine is turned on?  Does it go much faster with only one sound package?  And when I turn the machine off and then turn it on later is it suppoed to do this all over again?  It seems to be taking about 30 minutes.  That's really a long time to be able to have a play.  I'm quite disappointed if this is normal behavior.

No, not in my experience...this initail setup is a one-time deal..UNLESS you modify the usb drive and load it up with different folders/mixes.  otherwise, it boots up almost as fast as stock (after the intitial file allowcations)
