Title: Saving volume changes in Midway games?
Post by: MartyNg on May 16, 2007, 08:28:30 pm

My volume settings don't seem to save in Midway games such as MK and NBA Jam. Every time I quit the game and go back in, I have to crank the volume all the way back up again. Is there any way to save all midway game settings at max volume? Thanks!

None that I can find.

If you're using Mame32, when you change volume in-game, it only temporarily over-rides the settings in the GUI. You have to set it from GUI for it to be permanent.

I probably should have pointed out that I'm using command line MAME with Mala as a front end. Thanks.

Can't you just create an ini file for each game and set the volume there?

### Mame CORE sound options ###
samplerate 44100
samples 1
resamplefilter 1
sound 1
volume 0 (just alter this to the desired level)
