Hello hello, can anybody tell me why Phoenix doesn't have sound? I'm using the great Mameboy and all the other games have sound except this one. Do I need samples? Don't think so...

Cheers.

All other games have sound!?! Which ones you've tried and actually played with sound?

There are only few games I know on mameboy that play well and with acceptable speed with the sound enabled. Generally, sound is not very well emulated, and likely will not be on the current crop of devices. Speed seems to be a big issue, and even overclocked Cassiopeias are not fast enough to run games with sound in mame. I also think samples are not supported at all :(

I tried galaga and ms pacman, and although G has horrible sound, there is some. Ms pacman has ok sound. Phoenix doesn't and the same rom works well with sound on mame32, even without the "crash" sample.

Actually a few games run well with sound on the iPaq using MameCE3. Frogger and puckman for example :)
But most other devices are really to slow at this time.
