BERZERK on MAME4all

[hakmanplayer]

One of my favorite games since boyhood has been Berzerk [go figure].


I so wish I could tweak properly to achieve sound ,using the mame4all menu ,prior to playing the game.


I have tried messing with the audio settings but to no avail.


Is this just the way it is with this game =no audio?? Is anyone getting audio with the game?


To my knowledge , not all games play perfectly on mame4all . I am guessing this might be one of the chosen?


I still love the game even without sound. I also have the game on my VECTREX [with sound of course] but i think the arcade version is the overall best.


Looks great on the Pandora even though it is by far not a graphic powerhouse B)


Thanks in advance.

Some games in MAME use samples (aka sound files) for some sound effects. I think that this might be one of them. No samples, no sound (at least not for sounds that use samples).

Gotcha, thanks.

No problem.

 

[hakmanplayer]

Thanks anyhow.


Better late than never

There are about 60 sample files that can enhance the games they match.


You can also put the backdrop artwork from some games in the /artwork directory.

Yes I have the samples folder but that does necessarily mean a sample file for a game will create audio?

well, i have berzerk with audio now, just following my post #5 above

hmmm...just downloaded the sample file, put in sample folder for mame4all saw they are all .wav = audio files [bunch of them] ; good sign.


let me fire up the Pandora and report back.


i assume i didn't to have to compress the sample??

I believe bezerk isnt properly emulated until a later version around 0.124 yes there are samples but bezerk used a custom exidy chip and discrete logic so it may have sound but it wont be perfect.

ALERINO.........IT WORKS!!


I am so happy you chose to help me.


Actually the audio works real good ; better than anticipated.


I thought it would work when I saw all those .wav files with the musical note on them!!


I know this problem was small fry in the larger Pandora picture but it was a big one for me.


As said before Berzerk is on of my all time favorites. It was a thorn in my ass not to have audio.


I wonder how many other mame4all ROMS are in this category ??


Thank you Sir.


From my coracao!!

I think Zaxxon and Donkey Kong use samples.
