MAME32 Sound Problems

[VectorGamer]

What's the deal with numerous games with no sound?

 

In particular:

Asteroids

Space Fury

Star Castle

BattleZone

Space Invaders

 

The first four are all vector games although Asteroids Deluxe and Tempest work. Is their a specific MAME32 ver that one needs for the respective game or are their different config settings.

Maybe you need the samples for those games? (although I don't remember Battlezone needing them). If so, get them and put them in the \samples folder and see if that fixes anything. http://samples.mameworld.info/ You may have to click on "older samples" on the left for some of the games like Asteroids

 

That being said, mame32 is pretty outdated. It's now called "MameUI". Or, you can try out MameXT And see if those work any better since they will be newer Mame builds

I run the old version...unless there's an option to turn off the "legalese" screen and having to type "OK" in the newer versions...what the heck is that about?

Thanks, man - I was able to get some of those to work!

Also, I found to get rid of the "OK" screen to add "skip_gameinfo 1" to the MAME ini file...

Yeah, you need the samples for some MAME games to have sound.

I run the old version...

 

That's fine.. although personally I think they've made a lot of improvements in games and speed in the newer versions.. might be worth your while to at least check it out. For example, Asteroids (and I think Donkey Kong) don't need samples anymore. The sound in Phoenix is much improved. etc.

 

Anyway you can have multiple mame versions on a computer without a problem
