1. I put the Galaga sample in my C:\MAME\samples directory without unzipping the files.
2. I was getting some sort of error message about the '54xx.bin' file, so I loaded new '51xx.bin' and '54xx.bin' files.

When I ran it again... KABOOM! :)  So, I'm not sure if it was that I left the samples zipped, or if it was that I got better files.

That one.

Galaga no longer uses samples.  You needed the 54xx microcontroller's internal ROM.  Never ignore/disable the messages when you are wondering why something is not working correctly.   :D

0.112u1: Replaced implementation of Namco 54xx sound chip with new MB8844 CPU core running the original embedded ROM code. Removed old sound core [Nicola Salmora, Ernesto Corvi, Guru]. Added MB88xx (256000 Hz) CPU4 with 1k rom and replaced Namco 54XX with 3x DAC sound.
0.90u3: Derrick Renaud added proper filters to the Namco52 sample player of Bosconian, Galaga, Pole Position and Xevious. Adjusted relative effect volumes per schematics.
0.90u2: Derrick Renaud updated the Namco 54xx noise sound and added the R/C values to Bosconian, Galaga, Pole Position and Xevious.
0.89u5: Jarek Burczynski improved the Namco 54xx Noise Generator (Type A and B emulated, type C algo still unknown). Removed Samples sound and bang.wav sample.

I hereby nominate this for the most awesome response of all time.
