@clewis Removing the sound samples would be hard at this moment, proper sound support is not an easy one for this hardware. Are there missing sounds in the samples ? I also took a look at the color issue and something can probably be done about it. I'll let you know as soon as i get a feedback about it from upstream.

Thanks barbudreadmon!
The samples are all there. The analog sounds that are sampled, are way louder than the digital sounds that are emulated. What you get is Jumpman's footsteps super loud and the barrel jumping sound too quiet.
It's great that the color fix might be doable. That would be huge!!

Even if they are samples, i guess some balance adjustment could be done.

@clewis 2 good news :
- i found out why lr-mame2016 fails building, i just created the PR to fix it, it should be merged soon
- i just tested the dkong color fix for fba (and compared it to lr-mame2016), it looks great, if the fba standalone team gives me the ok (this is new stuff and not a simple hotfix, this kind of improvement is generally only made public when a new standalone fba is released), i'll push it to the lr-fbalpha repository later today, otherwise you'll have to wait for the .44 release.
-
@clewis i just got the ok from upstream, fba now displays the proper colors in dkong (it was fixed in mame141u2 btw). I'll also open an issue on mame2003-plus's github, perhaps they'll be able to port the new code to their mame core.

To be fair i only fixed building on x86/x86_64, to my knowledge it doesn't support arm, and it wouldn't run well on a rpi anyway.

This is really amazing, and huge thanks!
I will compile tonight and try it out.

It actually runs the older vertical games really well. I will try compiling this one tomorrow night.
Again, amazing and thanks!

@clewis about the samples balance, i think your samples could be the issue (there is a lot of dkong samples pack on internet), here are the recommended ones : https://www.sendspace.com/file/y3d1kg (i think link to samples are legally ok ?)

The colors are awesome, and the samples you provided fixed that problem as well! Really can't thank you enough. It rocks!
lr-mame2016 still does not compile on the pi, but the only rom I need it for at this point is DK remix Christmas edition.

I wouldn't mind adding support for it, but it seems it was some kind of private rom.
