Title: Soundfiles library/links for MAMEWAH?
Post by: MPTech on July 28, 2006, 12:37:53 pm

I've done a BYOAC search and Google'd it, but couldn't locate a good source for .wavs that could be used in MAMEWAH for startups, exits, etc.
I've collected a couple files here and there, but just looking for a consolidated source.

Is there a link or library of good wav files?  for example: "War Games / Would you like to play a game?", HAL / 2001, "Berserk / Fight like a robot", Lost in Space / Danger Will Robinson, maybe some Nintendo sounds, even PinBall sounds (Poolchamp has a soundbyte, but I remeber what it says now, but I liked it),  etc., etc......

I'd also like to find the SEGA soundbyte they used to play on the TV ads , "SEGA!!"


(I realize that some of these may be copyrighted, don't want to get into trouble)


Thanks!  MPTech

That's a great question.  If there isn't already one it seems like it would be a realtively simple project putting some together and starting a torrent. 

Mamewah certainly wouldn't be the only way to make use of these though...

Here's a cool site with Metal covers of VG music:

BTW - I'm looking for an mpeg of the MTV 'bumper'.  The original one with the astronaut and MTV flag.  Anyone have it?

Great sites Somunny!!
I got several soundbytes off of them I was looking for (and a couple I hadn't considered).

Still looking for the War Games and SEGA!  (Shout from the TV ad).


Definately worth the visit to anyone looking.

Thanks!!!

Another one  :P

This site has the Sega logo music from the Genesis games.

The whole site is great if you're looking for midi files.

Korg M1, I think ... maybe I'm wrong.

Some nice sounds for frontends: http://www.flashkit.com/index.shtml

M1 / Korg M1???

I don't understand.   What is the reference here?

btw, Minwah, MAMEWAH is an ultimate cool tool!
The more I learn, the more I like it!

(while I have your attention, is there a way to design and review a layout via the layout designer?  I've been modifying the layout, saving them, launching MAMEWAH, review the change, then shutting down MAMEWAH, rinse/repeat)   

Thanks again!

Thanks Swindus!

Hmm not really...could use a preview option or something.  There may well be some work done on the layout designer in the near future, so will bear it in mind ;)
