I would like to say THANK YOU to all people behind the big improvements of sound emulation in AY 3-8910 based games, also Galaxian.
Super Cobra has finally the right sound as the original board. It took years, decades of misery but finally it's where it is supposed to be. Thank you!!! Finally time to play Scramble based games in MAME...
Also big thank you for improving Galaxian sound. I can hardly believe it but YES. The boomy sound of explosion is just as the original arcade board. It again took years of misery - the Galaxian simply did not sound like the original game. I know the early builds used samples but then they stopped supporting them and it was a huge step backwards in terms of the authenticity of the sounds.
OK now I still have a felling Amidar has something wrong with the volumes of the AY channels - being - the background music plays too silent OR the foreground sound effects play too loud. Definitely the original game was more balanced. I hope people behind these drivers already know about this issue and will fix them one day, as they did with "now perfect" Super Cobra and Galaxian (and many others).
