      0.88u7: BUT added sample support to Sasuke' (hit.wav, boss_start.wav, shot.wav, boss_attack.wav).
      0.88u7: BUT added speech sample support to Fantasy' (ft_voi-0 - ft_voi-b.wav).
      0.88u7: BUT added speech sample support to Vanguard' (vg_voi-0 to vg_voi-f.wav).
      0.88u7: MAME32 Improved sample support for Rockola driver HD38880 speech by samples.
      0.81u5: Curt Coder added Vanguard SHOTB sound effect.
      0.81u4: Curt Coder hooked up SN76477 sound in Fantasy, Nibbler, Pioneer Balloon, Sasuke and Vanguard

      @gamez-fan Fully tested no Roms have changed but to take advantage of the full range of
      sound improvements new samples are needed for Fantasy, Sasuke and Vanguard
      these are easily obtained from the old samples folder on Twistys site.

      Life is game, just play it !

        @markwkidd - I merged the new samples for Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr and added 'hack' to the end of the file name. You have a place to upload it?

        I don't know if there's any value to knowing exactly which sets are using the samples. but possibly to check for any errors. Such as Radar Scope uses the same samples as Donkey Kong or Street Heat - Cardinal Amusements uses the same sample set as Donkey Kong Jr.

        If the update didn't take these "other" games into account they will break or I can just update the samples for the changed games if there's a more specific list of exact games/clones updated. Leaving the existing samples intact for the "other" games.

        For example if Radar Scope is looking for effect00.wav (a file in the original dkong.zip
        sample) it will not work as Radar scope's parent for samples is dkong and it's been completely removed from all sets with the new samples.

        Unless of course all clone games have incorporated the new sample changes. Which some of the "other" games might not even use the new samples. The two examples mentioned above are actually parent games using samples from other parent/clone games. Hopefully that makes sense.

        All the games that use the dkong and dkongjr samples are just sharing the same code, the update to the samples should be fine for all the games

        Regards.

            Holy smokes, now that's a list! Nice work! I am not very good at navigating which source drivers belong to which games to retrieve names and hashes to build out the DAT so I might need help to locate the correct files.

            All the games that use the dkong and dkongjr samples are just sharing the same code, the update to the samples should be fine for all the games

            Thanks I've updated the dkong & dkongjr samples and clones. 2 down... :)

                    @riverstorm Hi, could you also make a separate DAT with only the new/changed ROMs and samples (like @markwkidd said) ? I have already set up my Mame2003 with primarily Parent and working ROMs only, if I run this new merged DAT I will have no idea of the specific new versions needed etc. And if you gather all the new only samples into a DAT we will know the exact versions needed from Twistys site.

                      Yeah that shouldn't be a big issue. To do something like that it would require replacing them in your source directory.

                      It might take some time to work through the list being around the holidays and it's quite a bit larger than I originally had thought. I thought maybe a dozen or so games but the more updates the better! :)

                        Nice! Once the 'hacks' DAT is ready for use I would like to see it get added to the MAME 2003 github repository in the same metadata folder as the 'standard' MAME 2003 DAT I linked above.

                                look inside drivers folder.

                                    Denjin Makai WIP https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/230 ... 238
                                    Detail : https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-libretro/pull/230

                                    @gamez-fan Denjin Makai needs a couple of changes here so the sound will work this will also benefit SD Gundam Psycho, Salamander no Kyoui no other Seibu games will be affected
                                    The game wont pan the sound via the two speakers by default for some reason so let's make it so

                                    Life is game, just play it !

                                      Any chances Night Slashers might be ported? It doesn't run well on mame2010, so maybe 2003 can. Also, Ninja Baseball Batman has some audio bugs on 2003 but it's fine on 2010.

                                        Yeah Night Slashers good game one of my faves, i have some special code via iq_132 which gets the game playable with speedups in MAME84 we get around 25fps for this
                                        one on the Xbox so not full speed but totally playable right enough, you do have the Deco32 driver in MAME-2003 but it would require a fair amount of graft to backport
                                        the needed code plus im not sure if it'll all be compatable with this older core.

                                        Anyway Deco32 based games Captain America, Fighters History, Night Slashers etc etc will be playable in the next FBA release and i managed to talk iq_132
                                        into optimizing the video code so these games will perform better on lesser hardware like the xbox or the Rpi, so wait a month or so and see how the game
                                        plays in FBA and if it needs another boost i have a special driver with further optimizations i can happily share with the Rpi FBA dev's currantly i get 28fps
                                        with Night Slashers on Xbox FBA.

                                            @gamez-fan When you fight the 1st boss “windy plane”, the audio is different. It’s been a while to know the specifics but that’s where it’s noticeable. Few minutes to get to him so it won’t take long.
