Would you like a version of Phoenix with sound ? I'm sure I got it working with the samples a while back, and would have to redo the work as I didn't keep it. Although I will have to suspend my getting Operation Wolf to run at full speed activities

my current favourites in the MAME pile:

- Crazy Climber
- Crazy Climber 2
- Donkey Kong 3 (its a shooter!)
- Gradius
- Space Invaders


Of course, I'm spending my days mostly in the PCEngine playing Parodius, though, heh heh .. its one happy, friendly little game ..

Slightly related, can someone point me to one of the thingies that takes the roms from a set to make an earlier set.... if you know what I mean

ie. little app to make latest Mameset into 034.....

Not sure exactly what I should search for so I'm comming up a bit short, heh.

​

you mean 'clrmamepro'.

its not always the easiest app to use, but its the one you need for this. if you do a search for 'clrmamepro' on the forum, i think there's probably a load of threads on it already, if you get stuck.

​

Of course, how much do you want for suspending your getting Operation Wolf to run at full speed activities?

I remember you were thinking of that a while ago. It would be nice if all of the classics had sound. For some strange reason Franxis doesn't care about those games, I guess he just likes the newer stuff, too bad for us

So yeah Phoenix with sound would be great. It would also be nice if:

Zaxxon, Donkey kong (incomplete sound), DKjr (incomplete), Galaxian (incomplete), Space invaders, Pepper II, Venture, Berzerk, Gorf, asteroids, Super Zaxxon etc all had sound too. Hopefully if someone does the fixes Franxis will include in his releases.

 

[Lazrhog]

Right, just got Phoenix working with sound, and it runs like a dog. The samples that it uses take way too much processing power at the moment. Sorry.

Hmmm, just deleted my samples, and it still has sound but really slow - must be the implementation of the sound driver. I will look into it at the weekend.

 

[DaveC]

How about using a driver from a later version like .35, .36 etc where the sound was emulated and samples weren't used? I thought you said you got DK working that way, could be wrong though.

I'm using Mame .102

maybe MAME 0.102 is too demanding what the resources of the hardware concerns, but to be honest, I do not have any knowledge at all. It would just be great to have Phoenix with sound as the music and the sound effects heavily contribute the wicked atmosphere of this game.

Maybe try the oldest version there is that had emulated sound rather than samples if samples are slow.

​

This version has emulated sound, but it looks like the sounds are simulated rather then emulated. Using a different version of Mame would make no difference. Let me look into it for a bit and see what comes of it.

 

[chaos engineer]

Hey Lazrhog. How is your progess with your implementing sound to Phoenix activities? Are you still working on that or is it just hopeless?

 

[critical]

​

That would be 0.36, looking at the source.

 

[cbox]

0.36 is the version that's been ported to Pocket PCs, and there's like 2000 games supported so that would be a great version to try.
