Running DOS MAME
Assuming you have the PACMAN.ZIP file in your ROMS folder (and you own the original ROM), run a command prompt and type:
(where ~is a SPACE and [return] is the enter key)
c:[return]
cd\mame[return]
dmame~pacman~-soundcard~0
If all is ok you should now be playing Pacman WITHOUT sound - you've proved mame is installed working correctly.
Now try
dmame~pacman~-soundcard~1
Now you should be playing Pacman WITH sound - WOOHOO!
You will notice the -soundcard 1 option which sets MAME to use a Soundblaster compatable card.
Other options are :
0 - Silence
1 - Soundblaster
2 - Soundblaster AWE32
3 - Pro Audio Spectrum
4 - Ultrasound Max (CS4231 Codec)
5 - Ultrasound
6 - Windows Sound System
7 - Ensoniq Soundscape
