Tail Gunner - no sound

[spisi]

I downloaded the rom for Tail Gunner and there is no sound.  I found a post about it from 2004, it seemed that they had fixed it in MAME back then.  Any info on this would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I Remember this game needed SAMPLES for sound.

Having trouble with this game saving high scores...

Hiscore plugin not working in Tailgunner for me, either, but I haven't dug into it.

- Running MAME from command line with -verbose might help you narrow down what is and is not working.

If you can't get the plugin working, save states are working for this game.
- Make a simple "tailg.ini" file like this that enables autosave.

Code: [Select]

#
# CORE STATE/PLAYBACK OPTIONS
#
autosave                  1
- It will throw an error the first time you run it with the new .ini because it didn't autosave last time you exited the game.
- Second time you run it, it should work.   
- AFAIK the only downside to this approach is the momentary "State successfully loaded" popup window when you launch the game.

That did the trick! The Mame Whisperer comes through yet again!
