      @grant2258 No, it's not a problem with the binary. I'm using the binary provided and it works perfectly fine, with the default settings. Why do you think the binary has a problem with playing samples ?

        what commit is the binary at the last time i checked it it had a problem. It was at a point where mame would run slow because of a filepath bug.

          Sure, that may be, but does it impact playing samples ?

            @mitu it depends where the binary is at the moment commit wise if the samples work or not. It might have been updated since. There was also a buffer over flow fix done a few days ago

                  wow that binary is really old march 19th the altered beast and lots of others have been fixed since then. It would be advisable to update form source

                    @grant2258 OK, I updated from source... pulled down a new gorf .78 sound, pulled down another gorf.78 rom... checked, and rechecked everything I can see. Still doesn't work.

                    Before I discovered where to actually put the samples, I had been playing around with getting overlays to work (which I did). Not sure if I messed up something in the process.. but all appears to be correct. Any way I can delete it all and start from a fresh build of lr-mame2003? I don't know if that will help at all.

                      Yup... that did it. It's working now. I removed it from the build completely and re-installed it. It's working now!

                      Imagine I tried everything.. but that. Well, live and learn. It was definitely something that I must have messed with somewhere that turned off the samples folder. Not sure what, but it's working good now. I have voices in Gorf... and now in my head from all this... LOL.

                      Thanks for the help.

                        @BuZz this would be resolved by updating the mame2003 binary

                            @markwkidd The mame2003 libretro binary - just like other ones - was updated on 11 Oct. I don't think this bug qualifies.

                              @mitu I'm a day late and a dollar short. Thank you for the update. As someone who is trying to support mame2003 users it's very useful to hear when there is an update to the environment that wouldn't be obvious from where I'm standing.

                                @markwkidd Yeah, updates are not so obvious or easy to spot when you're juggling through X forums at a time and countless github updates. I think @buzz mentioned it at the time and it was also in the 4.4.3 tag.

                                  @markwkidd @mitu I have just made it a habit to update my Retropie system and packages from time to time. Of course, an update may break something, but I think the benefits outweigh the risks by far in general.
