A question that may have been valid nearly 15 years ago, but it is now way obsolete these days.

Almost a good comical MAME FAQ material item worth adding to MAME FAQ imo.

While Pong is likely back in working shape again, it looks like the newly supported CD4066 device could mean either some minor changes in Battle Zone audio or maybe a complete rewrite of entire audio output of Battle Zone. Or maybe a different game altogether, but my guess is Battle Zone audio is next item to be updated.
