Sound bug in Mario Bros, Space Invaders, graphic bug in Donkey Kong 3
#274475 - 01/30/12 08:06 AM


The sound of Mario running in Mario Bros is not right compared to an original pcb. Please fix.

The sound of your missle being fired in Space Invaders does not sound anything like a real Midway pcb. Please fix.

In Donkey Kong 3, when you clear a screen and Donkey Kong starts climbing the ropes to get away, his chest disappears as he climbs. The original pcb does not do that. Please fix.
Thank You!

Do you happen to have recordings of these sounds from the real PCBs to assist the MAME developers?

I have the original arcade games but have no way to record the sounds.
Just a note, Luigi's running sound in Mario Bros is not correct as well.

Thank you in advance if you can get these sounding right. Would be so awesome!

Thank you! It will be awesome to have the correct sounds and the graphic glitch cleared up in DK3

Sadly, we need recordings of the real pcb, as well as possibly close up pictures of the analog components in each one to fix these issues. without those there is no way to fix them.

what would be the best way to get a sound recording of the sounds in question?
I'm not a tech but would like to help if I can.

This is a bug that is not logged yet and will take some supporting evidence (preferably a recording video) detailing the original pcb/cabinet behavior) so we can know exactly what the issue is and determine how to properly fix it.

http://web.me.com/andre.huijts/Arcade_42/Video.html 20:00 min mark, [edit] oops I lost my marker for Mario Bros. It's in there somewhere...[/edit] I could have taken more pics of the boards when I had them if it would have been requested. I also recorded the sound and sent it out but that recording in the vid I think was from when the game was newer so less aging.

I gave my Donkey Kong 3 pcb to a friend and will ask him to try and take a video when he gets his game finished.
I also noticed that in the newest version of mame .144u6, when you first start Donkey Kong 3 and it plays it's music before you start playing, it's garbled up now. Sounds like it is playing more than one music. Was perfect in mame .140

If I can record the sound, where do I upload it?

I do not see such behavior here. With u6 and u7 (tested both), the game boots up.. I credit and play and the music plays fine. If you hear skipping or repeating sounds, you might have some process in the background hogging cpu cycles or you are on a slow machine. I would download the latest binary for 0.144u7 from this link and see how it performs.

If you don't know the game sounds really well as I do, you might think it sounds normal during the music.
I have 2 machines and it does it on both.
My one machine is a killer gaming machine. Intel i7 960 quad core with geforce gtx590 so I have tons of power.

sendspace.com and then post the link.

You could rar into 290 meg chunks if it's a huge wav file but a high bitrate mp3 is good enough if you aren't doing some sort of direct feed recording.

It's weird, I went back to u6 and tried DK3 again and the sound seems fine on both my machines... don't understand it because I tested it several time to make sure before I posted...
Disregard the music being garbled. Thanks so much for your help but the graphic glitch is still there.

depending on filesize sendspace would be good and has 300 MB limit per file or you can cap it and look into Dropbox.

Find or buy an audio cable that can plug into the audio port on your PC, or portable recorder, or and old tape deck.

Snip off one end and strip the covering to expose the 2 wires.
connect the wires to the speaker posts inside the cabinet.

Start recording.

Now of course, this won't give you the effect of sound coming out of the cabinet, but it will be the true sound going to the speaker.

You could also record a video using a camera, phone, flip, etc.

As for the actual thing, if he can't figure that one out - like suggested above: phone, etc, let alone a direct input method - he's in more trouble than we can provide help for.
