More MAME Samples Other Than Twisty's

Are there any other MAME Samples available other than Twisty's?
If so, what website can they be found at?
There are some games that could really use them. An example would be the game, "No Man's Land". There's no sound when firing your weapon, nor when you explode enemy tanks. The only sound in that game is at the introduction for a few seconds and that's it.

If a real sample was recorded, it's available at twisty's. Unless you can program, there is nothing you can do to add sound to that game. From the source...
..."No Man's Land (Gottlieb)", GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND | GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE...

Will "Super Bubble 2003" ever have sound? It's been without sound for years, so I was curious if sound will ever be added to this game?

"Super Bubble 2003 (World, Ver 1.0)", GAME_NO_SOUND
It's known that there is no sound. It hasn't been emulated yet. I'm not sure why. Maybe it needs something decapped or something is encrypted.

There are a number of places you can check for information if you are unsure precisely what an issue is.
Usually, the best first place to look is in the driver for the game. Often at the top of the file there are notes concerning the emulation status, TODO or 'missing' texts.
Secondly, MAMEDEV attempts to maintain a publicly viewable wiki explaining such things. Few people even attempt to look in MAMEDEV for answers when most of them are on site, such as the Documentation WIKI: http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/Main_Page
The "Non-Working Driver" section lists by game or driver known issues explaining why a game has certain flag(s) set.
You can also check MAMEINFO.DAT (maintained by M.A.S.H.) which is updated every release. Generally if it's a known problem issue, it's listed in there. This is the same data that displays at MAWS.

Yes I know about all that. I spent/spend hours reading MAME FAQ and games' info.dat, history.dat, and MAWS.com.
But my question was how come the sound has not been implemented in Super Bubble 2003? Meaning, why hasn't it been added? I'm curious what's up with that issue and when do you think the sound will finally be added to that game? What's the status of that issue? Is it currently being worked on? What's preventing this issue from getting fixed.
ETC....
I don't think that issue is being worked on because I don't see it on any of the MAME dev WIP websites. Is there a reason why it's still not being worked on?
I'm not complaining or anything like that, I'm just curious what's up.

I didn't know either, so I researched. Look up the game on MAWS:
http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/index_search.php?search_text=super+bubble+2003&page=
Click on the driver for the game:
http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/driverinfo/limenko.c
Click on the driver @ mamedev.org:
http://mamedev.org/source/src/mame/drivers/limenko.c.html
Lines 20-21:
20 To Do:
21 - QDSP QS1000 sound core
Google "QDSP QS1000 sound core":
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&am...62&bih=1155
Second link is a to this MAMEWorld thread:
http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/sho...amp;o=&vc=1
Found my answer. Took me longer to type this thread than do the search (though my google-fu is strong; not Stiletto ninja-type levels, but getting better). 
Point of this post: when something isn't working, you can almost always find what you want to know by starting at the MAME driver, and going from there.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

So with my limited knowledge, my understanding of those readings is that the lack of sound in Super Bubble 2003 is basically not going to get fixed anytime in the foreseeable future because of these 3 reasons:
Quote:
Stiletto: I've already been down this road years ago, even contacting HWASS/Altonics and ZOOM, to no avail. The documentation, when available, has not been useful.
Phil Bennett: A data sheet is available, but it is nowhere near complete as far as I recall.
R. Belmont: The datasheet doesn't provide any low-level programming information.
