          @FreshmanClasspi First off don't use Mame4All. That's best suited to a Pi Zero. What ROMSET are you using?

              MK2/UMK3 still have the sound issue. :(
              I raised the bounty to get it fixed.

                I vote that we (since I contributed to the donations) give the money to the person who could also get it working on FBAlpha. If we confirm a fully functioning and proper MK series on FBA, that person should get the money. Not sure if anyone agrees, just my suggestion.

                  looks like someone has started working on this :D

                  i will test it as soon as it's completed and make sure it gets accepted promptly.

                      this is now merged! if you rebuild lr-mame2003 from source (takes about 30 minutes) you will have it. can anyone test, please? i played mk2 for 10 minutes and got no distortion, but I didn't have a chance to test longer/other games.

                        I am at work today but I will get home and test MK2, MK3, UMK3, and I THINK Rampage WT did it too so I'll check 'em and post my results. Probably extensive play to make sure this is squashed.

                                Has the binary been updated in retropie with this fix yet?

                                  Is it normal, when going into update the lr-mame2003 via source to get a black and white command prompt style screen full of garbage continually scrolling?

                                      Whilst I think things improved a bit with the sound, I was still getting a bit of crackling and crustyness. Is there any easy way for me to verify that I successfully updated lr-mame2003 package to the version with the fixed audio?

                                        @darkmenace if you updated via source, you have the fix. if you go to the retroarch menu (hotkey + retropad X) in game, you can make a note of the version string at the bottom left and we can verify.

                                        before the fix the sound would a garbled mess and out of sync after 10 minutes of play. anything other than that is a different issue.

                                          @darkmenace yes the sound is not perfect in general but this was a fix for a large issue that occurred after ~10min of playtime.

                                          As for the general crackle at times, that will have to be resolved separately, but not enough (IMO) for another community fund.

                                            @dankcushions so I won't need to update any roms or rebuild my set, just the emulator from source and that's it?! Sweet!
