pgathriller Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 So I want to play Donkey Kong in MAME 2003 so that it saves my high scores I have the Donkey Kong rom from the MAME 2003 non-merged rom set in my ROMs folder (LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > system > ROMs > MAME 2003 Roms) And I have the necessary dkong.zip file of sounds scattered into multiple locations cause I just kept copy/pasting it all over to see what would work (so far nothing) Where do these sound files go if I'm using MAME 2003 via RetroArch?? I've seen a couple different answers online and they also seem to be for folks using RetroPi or just straight MAME 2003 so can't find a direct answer The dkong.zip file containing the sounds is currently in: LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > system > mame2003 > samples LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > system > mame2003 > samples > dkong LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > samples LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > samples > dkong LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > system > ROMs > MAME 2003 Roms > samples LaunchBox > Emulator > RetroArch-Win64 > system > ROMs > MAME 2003 Roms > samples > dkong But none of those locations seem to be correct -- any other location suggestions?

Headrush69 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Are you 100% sure you are using the mame2003 core and not the mame2003-plus core? Retroarch -> system -> mame2003 -> samples should be the right location for that core. Are you also 100% sure the sound sample zip is complete? There are a lot of zips out there that are wrong, or don't match the mame version they say they do. My dkong sample for mame2003-plus (which is very close) contains 5 samples in the zip.

pgathriller Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 I was using regular Mame2003 Decided to try switching Mame2003 Plus and putting the samples in the sample folder for Mame2003 Plus and it worked! So it looks like I'm good -- thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest using this core anyways as many more patches backported and updates and improvements to work better within Retroarch as well.
