Klax/hardware update?
#247270 - 02/23/11 10:35 PM


Hi all,
I must admit that for quite a while now I've been in the habit of updating MAME with each new release, but not thoroughly reading what's new. Hence my question.
I don't know how long ago the following changed, so can someone let me know, please?
I noticed that in the latest release, when playing Klax, if you toss a piece back onto the playfield, the sound effect is different than it used to be. It used to be a quicker "boink" effect than it is now. The sound is now a bit more "drawn out". I don't know if the old or new effect is the more accurate one.
I tried to find a "whatsnew" file containing the info that I'm looking for but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for your help
- Justin

I tried 0.120 and current .. I hear no difference.
The only "boing" I hear is when you have no tiles on your holder and you hit the throw button to place the tile below. The sound that is played is the same (pushing up to put piece back on conveyor) between versions. You also could be mis-remembering a console game (such as the genesis version) which has different sound effects.

Whatever you do, don't ever play the Master System version with the sound up, it will drive you insane!
