Donkey Kong samples not working

Pages: (1/3) > >>

cbmeeks:

I'm only running about 10 games on my cab and two of those are Donkey Kong/Jr..

I have downloaded the samples from mame.net and put into the samples folder but they don't play?  I didn't unzip.  I get audio.  I just don't hear the running sound or ladder climbing sounds (or chain climbing sounds in DKJr.)

In my MAME.INI, I have put the correct path in the samples folder (I assume) because it matches the ROM path root folder...ie, only "samples" changed from "roms"

Any suggestions?

Oh, I'm not using a front end at the moment.  I am writing my own so I am just using DOS command line (under Windows 98)

Thanks!

Make sure your ROMs version match your MAME version. To check, get this:

ROM versions have to match MAME versions?  Jeesh!

lol
thanks

Havok:

Yeah, I know it's a pain. You'd think that the ROM is the ROM, but there are changes to allow for changes in the MAME code.

I wonder if that is why my Pac Man doesn't work when it used to??
