Title: Quick Question - Mortal Kombat sound
Post by: Sosetsuken on January 11, 2009, 08:06:00 am

Hey guys, i've seen a lot of cabs running MAME with the MK's and just wanted to ask how did you get around the fact the MK's in MAME are so much quieter than the other games?

Like i can play most of my games on a set volume and they're about the same except when i load up mortal kombat and have to turn the sound waaaaay up to hear anything?

Much Thanks :)

Good news!  The MAME FAQ has your answer.
http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/FAQ:Games#The_volume_in_the_Mortal_Kombat_and_other_recent_Williams_games_is_very_low.

The volume in the Mortal Kombat and other recent Williams games is very low.

When the game is running, hit F2 to get to its own internal service menu.
Hit F2 again to "close" the service switch so that you won't get stuck in the menu.
Now navigate to the "Volume adjust" option with arrow keys or your joystick, and adjust the volume.
Then exit the menu with the appropriate selections.
