Nibbler plays WAY too fast! Any ideas?

Derrick Renaud:
I'm assuming that video is from an old version of MAME, pre 81u4.  There is no explosion sound when you die.  Or the sound is broken.

0.81u4: Curt Coder hooked up SN76477 sound for BOMB effect in Fantasy, Nibbler
0.126u4: Derrick Renaud added discrete sound to Fantasy, Nibbler (added filter to explosion)

I don't remember ever playing a Nibbler with music either, but it's been so many years since I've seen one (other than Tim McVey's...visited him Labor Day weekend and saw some of his marathon attempt in person ;D ) I was surprised hearing it with music in MAME, but I guess that missing ROM makes sense. Too bad MAME would complain and probably not run if you removed that ROM from the directory. I also don't know how he plays it so well, I can get to where the music changes and it gets really fast and maybe clear a couple boards if I'm lucky. I think my high is about 80K on my MAME cab with a 4-way stick. (the one from the Turbo Ms Pac competition :) )
Another game that has music but I've never seen it on a real machine is Kangaroo. Although in MAME, there's a dipswitch setting to enable/disable the music. I've never played around with the dips on a real one, so I don't know if it has one for music or not.

We used to have a Kangaroo at a church I went to and it definitely played music.

What would MAME do if you replaced the ROM with a 0k file?  Now I want to get Nibbler playing on my cab the way Tim would play it. 

CKong.  Are you from Iowa?  I watched quite a bit of his run.  I wonder when he's going to try again.

Oh yeah, I forgot you were the one that won it. How do like that stick?
