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:

Click on the driver @ mamedev.org:

Lines 20-21:

20 To Do:
21 - QDSP QS1000 sound core

Google "QDSP QS1000 sound core":

Second link is a to this MAMEWorld thread:

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.
