Mortal Kombat II sound problem fix in latest version of mame2003

Post by jfvary » Tue Dec 12, 2017 12:23 pm

Hi everyone,

As you may probably know, the is a sound issue in MK2, as the sound progressively degrades as you play (after 3-5 minutes of gameplay). See video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdARIvMGLQ0

However, a fix has been deployed in the latest version of mame2003. It is possible to include the latest version in the next version of arpicade? Thanks!

Looks like this is a pretty nice fix they've done. Based on a quick (relatively quiet because the kids are asleep) test MK2 is improved as is NBA Maximum Hangtime.

If you would like to do the fix yourself before the next ARpiCADE version is out grab this file:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xLOAc ... NQCAefiYYb
and put it in /home/pi/.config/retroarch/cores/lr-mame2003/ (either rename or overwrite the one that's there). No other changes are needed.

If anyone starts using this version and has any feedback I'd appreciate it. No idea if the update did anything else new but it seems good so far.

Thanks for posting the solution with the bug report. Makes it very easy and quick to fix when somebody else already figured it out.
