In game sound error

[JumpManPro]

I've searched the FAQ and the board, but have not found a solution. When I use GameEx to run my roms games like Donkey Kong lose some sounds. For example, when Mario is walking there is no walk sound, no jump sound, et cetera. It has sound for when I jump over a barrell, use the hammer, but it really takes away from the original feel. Is there a setting I have arranged incorrectly? I just installed GameEx for my new cab today, other than this I absolutely love it! Once I solve this problem I am definitely going to make the donation (okay, admittadly it's partly out of selfish anti-nag screen reasons; but I do love the software).

I hope to meet a lot of fellow game addicts around here!

Okay.. Good news and bad news..

Goodnews: I can hear the above mentiond sounds running through gameex.

Bad news: I cant recreate your problem.

Can you post your gameex.ini?

I tested using DKONG rom set 1. Im running Mame124u4

Also you may want to check your audiocable.. It may be loose and your only hearing through 1 channel

Where do I find the .ini? Also, if I run the DK in Mame32 by itself the sound works fine; so somewhere along the line it's dropping some of the sounds. I'll see if I can find the ini.

It is in your gameex\config folder. Also please post your MAME.ini (That is in your MAME folder.) and your gameex log.

I went into the MAME32 emulator and took off the "Save game state on exit", restarted the game a couple of times, then turned the setting back on...now I have my sound, maybe I just started it up on a fluke? It's playing now, I'm not sure why it would have done that...any ideas?

Right now I'm going through and setting everything up on the computer before putting this in the cabinet. Any ideas? I'm trying to delete as many Vista load screens as possible, I'm sure once I get everything hooked up in the cabinet I'll find some great ideas and wish I had set it up earlier!

Well, if your just setting up Mame, IMHO, you have to have the artwork to really have a nice Gameex setup. So get the Mame videos from Circo, and all of the other artwork you can find: Control panels, marquees, cabinets, etc.

So far as other things, You could set up the jukebox, Some people here use karafun for karaoke, and there are many emulators for various systems. Also, as I mentioned in another thread, I really like Headkazes CPWizard for displaying custom control panels. And there are some other nice plugin's including HK's LCD/LED wizard. If you get started right now, you could have the "perfect" set up in a year or two! . Do a little searching on the forums for these topics, and if you have any questions, just ask!
