Title: No Bonus Man Sound on Berzerk MAME
Post by: Texasmame on November 28, 2013, 02:44:06 pm
Fired up my MAME rig for the family today and kicked azz (for me - 13k) on Berzerk.  But I noticed I didn't get that awesome "bonus guy sound" at 5k and 10k even though I got the guys.  That doesn't seem to be a sound that is in the samples folder along with the rest of them, so thinking the game must generate that one itself.

Any ideas?  All else works fine on all the other games.  Running MAME32 0.78.

Thx and Happy Thanksgiving, all!   :cheers:

Not sure if it's the issue, but those older builds relied more heavily on sound samples since the emulation wasn't good enough to produce the sounds.

It's an old version of MAME.  Might just not work.  :dunno

Yup, I suspect that's it.  But that version is about all the PII 450 with 1GB RAM can handle!   :dunno

probably.. it does run at around 1000%-1300% in game with full speech emulation in the current version on a 3ghz Core 2..

but a 3ghz Core 2 is significantly faster than the 6.6x higher Mhz rating ;-)

Bonus Life sound definitely works in the current version tho, and playing the version with German speech roms is a blast too, those robots have never sounded so menacing.
