+1, that's my only real gripe with the Arcade Ambience tracks. I've two distinct memories of what arcades sounded like, as in addition to hanging out in crowded arcades in the golden age I worked one several mall renovations in the late 80's early 90's. During the golden age the arcades in the area were usually packed to capacity and the crowd noise was as much a part of the overall sound as what was coming from the games. While doing mall renovations we usually worked after the mall had closed, and Andy's tracks remind me more of what an arcade sounded like after hours.

I don't know if you include this on the other ones, but I don't think the experience would be complete without the constant clanging of the dollar bill changer machines.

OK I seem to have run into a problem that I will need help from the community to resolve. I completely suck at Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat. There are some distinctive sounds in those games (fatality, flawless victory, yelling during special moves, etc) that I'd like to have in the final cut, but they require some experience with those games. So I am asking for some good MAME inp recordings for MK/SF2 that I can playback to record the audio for inclusion into the final mix. This is your chance to immortalize your play in the anals of arcade history! :laugh2: ::)
Here are some guidelines to those who would be willing to help:
- Please use a current/recent vanilla version of MAME (preferably v0.114), with sound of course. You may need to delete nvram and sta files before recording.
- Try to avoid non-authentic sounds, such as rapidly pressing the credit button 15 times
- Several INPs of varying characters would be nice
- 3-5 minutes or so of gameplay is fine (ie. there is no need to play for an hour and beat the game)
- email the INPs (ZIPPED!!!) to andy at hofle.com and let me know what version of MAME you used.
Thx!

I used to play Black Tiger at Le Fun on the drag. I'm pretty sure it's pre-1990, but that's about the time I used to play it there.

Oh man, that was the name. I was confusing it with another arcade. It was definitely "Le Fun"!
