Title: Tail Gunner - no sound
Post by: spisi on December 02, 2022, 09:51:37 am

I downloaded the rom for Tail Gunner and there is no sound.  I found a post about it from 2004, it seemed that they had fixed it in MAME back then.  Any info on this would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I Remember this game needed SAMPLES for sound.

Hiscore plugin not working in Tailgunner for me, either, but I haven't dug into it.   :dunno
https://docs.mamedev.org/plugins/hiscore.html (https://docs.mamedev.org/plugins/hiscore.html)
- Running MAME from command line with -verbose might help you narrow down what is and is not working.

If you can't get the plugin working, save states are working for this game.
- Make a simple "tailg.ini" file like this that enables autosave.

Code: [Select]

#
# CORE STATE/PLAYBACK OPTIONS
#
autosave                  1
- It will throw an error the first time you run it with the new .ini because it didn't autosave last time you exited the game.
- Second time you run it, it should work.   :cheers:
- AFAIK the only downside to this approach is the momentary "State successfully loaded" popup window when you launch the game.
