Killer Instinct Sounds/ MAME

[CadeFreak]

hEY all!

When i launch Killer Instinct with Mame or with my front end there is no music in attract mode? If i reset using the f2 button then the sound comes on. If i play a game and get killed and it goes back to main menu attract mode works. Its not much of an issue for me but im sure like some of you if your like me its more impressive when the game is launched and the sound is there and then!

Any of you suffered from the same issue With KI?

I'm not convinced that this is a bug, but rather how it happens in the original arcade.  You can hear the 'ding' that happens when the sound CPU has initialized correctly.  The only problem is that the attract mode has already started it's cycle and only by inserting a credit or adjusting the sound volume (as you mentioned, F2 menu) will the audio be played.

There is a possible bug about it reported at MAMETesters, but it needs some actual arcade game verification:  http://www.mametesters.org/view.php?id=835

After reading this it makes sence what you say! Its the same with Killer Instinct 2 also! The ding happens on KI2 also! There is no issus with how it runs. Thanks for your help!

it acts the same way as in the arcade. After 2 or 3 cycles through the sound should go off. I think its configurable in the test menu, but my KI2 board committed suicide
