Hi All,

Appreciate you taking the time to read. Recently got RoDA. A PCB I wanted for a long time for my home cab. I set it up and it works perfectly. One thing I noticed was there is no audio for the attract mode. I felt like I remembered the song playing during the scene and my friend does too but our other buddy said it doesn't have audio. I read both across forums and message boards.

I came across this manual which states advertise sound options under game assignments (page 16) does anyone know if this is intended for the game or more the board model?

When testing I have it on but there is no audio. In game audio is working just fine. I also notice there are dip switches and jumpers on the board but cannot find anything online about them. Maybe there is a setting that is needed for them?IMG_9325.jpeg
 

This arcade longplay video seems to have it.
Funnily enough, if you check the comments me and one other person ask the channel what settings they have to allow for it lol it seems the norm is that it is not enabled? I find it hard to believe the settings are present if you can't and I do remember it in the arcade… I just don't know enough about the system 32 board to check if there is a dip switch or jumper that's involved.

My hope is someone has the board and can share their experience or knowledge of it. 🤞

Settings in menu and DIPS do nothing?

I came across this post as well. Everything mentioned in the post regarding the service menu buttons matches with what I read in the manual I linked (found here at good ol' KLOV) and I can access the menu and found the attract sound already on but nothing is heard until you get to character select.

I checked MAME, there's no dipswitch settings. they have the attract sound option set to on. are you sure there's sound at all?
 
Some sites recommend all the DIPS be set to OFF. 🤷‍♂️
And advertise/attract sound set to ON in MENU. 🤷‍♀️
If that does not work could be a ROM issue? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Hi Mecha,

Are you saying in Mame you can confirm audio is playing during the attract screen or asking if there is audio that is suppose to be playing?

I am trying to determine this myself. I feel like I remember it having the theme play during the attract screen back in the day in the arcade, it has setting options in the rom, and yet I can't seem to find information on the game.
 
There is definitely attract sound. I used to own this game. Let it run for awhile.
Thanks for confirming and replying. By any chance do you remember any settings for the dips or the various jumpers on the board or daughter board that you adjusted beyond the menu page?

I do not. I don't remember changing any dips on the board. Just in game settings.
 
Probably a good idea to check all those jumpers on the ROM board.

it starts playing it here. I haven't been to Galloping Ghost Arcade in a long time, I forgot how it behaved. so yeah it's just sound effects I guess, what a wasted opportunity.

Thanks everyone for coming together and helping me confirm. I guess my friend and I just enjoyed the theme so much back in the day we remembered it being part of the intro. Odd choice having no sound but at least I now know. Thank you!
