Any way to do this in mamewah or with standard mame?

Ah, you give me too much credit. This is someone else's work. I just used their patches and compiled the source code. You would probably want to PM Tiger-Heli as it was his post that led me to Alan K's page (and he probably knows a lot more about it than I do). You can find the original post here:

But to answer your questions, yes, the frame skip is game specific so you would need an .ini for each game you use it for. As for the the volume gain, it is something you edit in the mame.ini to increase the overall volume if you think games are just a bit too low. What I like most about it is that it will automatically reduce the volume of a game if it's about to clip (Galaga for example).
Just wondering, have you gone into the test menu in MK2 and adjusted the volume? I had that problem too on Killer Instinct until I saw that it had a volume adjustment in the test menu. Hope this helps.

How do you create a game specific ini? What needs to be in it?
As for MKII, i'll check those settings. Its probably something fixable in there.
Wizard of DelRay:
To create a game specific ini, make a copy of your mame.ini and copy it to your ini folder (create one if you don't have one). Rename the copied file to the game you want to use it for (e.g. dkong.ini for Donkey Kong). Do this for whatever games you want. That's it.

iamnaeth: I was messing around with MK2 and I noticed something. Even if you set the volume high in the operator menu (F2), when you play you have to adjust it every time. The way I got around this was by editing an mk2.ini and adjusting the gainvolume to something like 28.00 and having the gainvolume_adjust set to 1. I left the volume in the operator menu at the lowest level and it auto adjusts the volume for me every time (so as not to clip and sound like crap). Hope this helps.

Yeah, i'll do that! Just one stupid question....how do you create a game specific ini file and where do you put it?
