Current sounds are correct but the pitch might be off. Back long ago MAME had mistakenly given them the "invaders" sample pack .wav files and in development of MAME 0.210, correct emulation was added which uses the AY-8910 instead. This is precisely how it is supposed to sound.

Hi

Thanks for the prompt reply. My query is how to get any sound with that game because none of the versions I have tried it on plays it with sound ?

Am I missing something. The rom says it lacks sound when it loads up ??

Regards

Are we talking about the same game?

Originally, Invader's Revenge (shortname: invrvnge) either didn't have sound or incorrectly emulated sound via "invaders.zip" sound samples used for many "Space Invader" type games at one time. All MAME releases since 0.210 has the properly emulated sound as I mentioned above. Anything either depending on a sample pack or incorrect/lack of any emulation. I'd assume the MAME version you are using is older than MAME 0.210 and will likely not make any sounds being flagged as such in game information.

Hi

Yes that's the one, so are you saying there's no way of playing it with ANY sound anymore. Incorrect sound is still better than none.

Sorry if I'm missing the point :D

Update MAME to current (0.226). You'll have sound. That is what I am saying.

Simply trying to explain to you that older versions (anything before MAME 0.210) which you are using cannot magically HAVE sound, it is part of the emulator and as such will only show up if you update the emulator itself.
