Turning off the NeoGeo jingle in attract mode?
Sneeka:
First of all, hi everyone, I'm un-lurking as of now ;D
Now, my question..
I usually prefer to have all the attract modes for all my MAME games without sound (which I set in the service mode in each game)... but, it seems that while you can turn off the attract mode sounds in NeoGeo games, it doesn't turn off the sound during the little NeoGeo jingle/logo thing >:(
So, er, is there any way to turn that jingle sound off during attract mode, without resorting to the volume knob? ???
Cheers.
Howard_Casto:
Nope.... but why may I ask would you want to?
Sneeka:
Well, it's kinda how I remembered arcades back in my youth - where everything's silent until you put your coin in. I think I must've gone to alot of quiet arcades ;D
It does seem kinda weird though, that NeoGeo games don't count the jingle as part of the attract mode sound ???
Ah well.
Jakobud:
No I remember the Neo Geo attract modes having sound with the jingle. It's a jingle man... it's THERE to attract you :)
Howard_Casto:
Exactly.....
The jingle is there to let you know that a mvs cab is near. For the record....The ONLY reason calssics should be silent is if the operator is a real jerk and turned off all the attract sounds, or the arcade they were in was very cramped and the sounds mingled. They started having sounds in attract mode as early as 1980.
