Both titles were well emulated pretty early on in mame's history from a player's point of view (I don't know how "accurate" everything was behind the scenes but I sure couldn't tell the difference). I am not sure exactly when they ditched the samples, but they seem to play perfectly in .55, .60 and .78.

As of MAME 0.122u5, the Mario Bros. sample set is no longer required and thus I've moved it to the 'Older Samples' page. Once again, couriersud is responsible for emulating its sound. ~Twisty~

So it looks like MAME 0.115 is the last version to use the Donkey Kong sample set.

Thanks guys!

Will test with the older versions.

Is it simple to use a different MAME version for these ROMS, but not the rest?

To me, Donkey Kong sounds pretty damn good and is close to the original, but the running sound in Mario Bros is not even close (last I checked anyway which was around 0.143 or so).  It's way too loud and is distorted -- the samples from the older Mame version sound much closer to the real thing.  I ended up doing what paigeoliver suggested which is to setup an older version in my frontend just for Mario Bros.

yeah Mario is an acknowledged bug, no idea when it will be fixed.

afaik the devs involved with Donkey Kong consider it perfect at this point, so I can't see it changing.
