      Re: MAME 2003 Sounds (Samples)

      After 2 days of crawling the interweb and all the directories in my Retropie install, I finally found the right place to put the samples files.

      How did I find the right place:

      Look at the "notes" in this file:
      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/cores/mame2003_libretro.info
      notes = "(!) The BIOS files must be inside the ROM directory.|"
      I don't know how anyone missed this! (He said Sarcastically)

      With that, I copied my sample files to:
      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/samples

      And it worked....

      Hope this helps someone else.

      Steve

        @stsweeney41 another helpfull file is:
        /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003/metadata/mame2003.xml

        Very long file, but it has the exact wav file names expected for each game....

          @stsweeney41 We have a doc page covering this. Didn't this page come up during your search ?

            The link you provided does come up along with:
            https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/

            Both have the samples folder as:
            /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2003/samples/

            This did not work for me. If it is just my install, then I am fine, but may want to mention the other location in the docs, since it is what is mentioned in the info file I mentioned above, and it does work in my case.

            Thanks Steve

              The 'other' location from the .info file refers to the BIOS files, not the samples. Same info from our docs is found also in the official core documentation. Note that RetroPie configures the 'system folder' to /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/.

              If you have reset your RetroArch configuration - using the Reset menu in RetroArch - then the 'system folder' is empty and defaults to the ROM folder, which might be your case.
