Game Specific Volume Settings in MAME

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Woodshop Flunky:

I'm sure this is possible, but I'm missing an example in my search.

I've noticed that if I set the volume control on my speakers to a nice level in one game, then next game may be too loud or too quite.  Is there a way to set a specific volume level for each game individually?

Thanks!

yeah, if you press F2 and access the game menu, a lot of games have a volume control, I know all the midway games do....

Does it keep the setting? I'm using an older version of Mame and it doesn't stick with the MK games.

Woodshop Flunky:

While in a game, I can hit tab to adjust the volume from MAME.  Can this be set from a config file for each game?

Yes.

Let's say 1942 is too loud... You could then create 1942.ini in your ini directory. The file should look something like this:


--- Code: ---volume -12
--- End code ---

Note that you can set any other game specific options here.

From the mame config.txt:


--- Code: --- -volume / -vol <value>

Sets the startup volume. It can later be changed with the user
interface (see Keys section). The volume is an attenuation in dB:
e.g., "-volume -12" will start with -12dB attenuation. The default
is 0.
