mame2016 Samples File Location
-
Where do the samples files go in mame2016? I've put them in \RETROPIE\bios\mame2016\samples but the Donkey Kong games still sound poor. Is this the right location?

Although I don't know the answer to your question, I can give you the advice to start Donkey Kong with verbose logging enabled (see Runcommand) and then look at the file
/dev/shm/runcommand.log. If it contains lines like these …[libretro WARN] [MAME 2003+] Missing audio sample: run01.wav [libretro WARN] [MAME 2003+] Warning: audio sample(s) not found.… then Mame couldn't find your samples. Otherwise, there may be other issues mentioned in the log file.

Out of curiosity, I tested a dkong.zip from an unofficial "MAME 2016 Reference Set" which didn't come with any samples for dkong in an extra file. Seems like the 2016 version (aka MAME 0.174) of the dkong rom has its samples included, since – as far as I can tell – it sounds exactly as the MAME 2003-Plus version with an external samples file in my Retropie.
So, if you don't have sampled sound, are you sure you have the right dkong rom file for MAME 2016 / 0.174?
