Is MAME in mono?

--- Quote from: javeryh on August 19, 2009, 07:17:54 am ---I think I need one of those converters.  The games sounded horrible last night.  I have MAME running in a DK cabinet but there is only the one speaker cutout for sound to escape.  I couldn't hear any of the squeaking of Mario as he runs and the sound of jumping over barrels was also not there.  I need to think of a good solution - the speaker cutout is also much bigger than the crappy little speakers I was planning to use so I'm thinking I need something bigger.

Any ideas?  What would you do?

That may be a result of the mame version you are using and the mame rom. Some of the sounds were sampled in an older version of mame and are now emulated. 
Derrick Renaud:
Even old 70s games use 2 speakers.  Canyon Bomber, Sprint 2 and other games of the era used a separate speaker for each player.

Looking at MAWS, these games are vertical from that era that are stereo.

Ummon:
Space Dungeon is dual 8-way, and Gorf, Gyruss and Tron are 8-way. Spy Hunter don't count.

Mono games that used more than one speaker were wired in....you guessed it....mono.

I'd go with two speakers, man, just cos.
