A quick Jr. Pac-Man question: I've noticed significant differences between the sound effects on the 800 and 5200 versions of Jr. Pac-Man (the 5200 version sounds much better). Is the 800 version that's been floating around broken? I'd love to find one that matches the 5200 sound effects.

  Usually, 5200 ports with bad sound means Pokey isn't properly initialized. Sticking a register wipe in the startup fixes it.

  ^ That possibility occurred to me as well, but the 800 prototype was a native version for the 800 series, and it still has the sound problem (unless it too was a 5200 conversion and there was no "official" 800 version). Very curious.
