Visual PinMAME / PinMAMEW / PinMAME32 1.60 released

[Robert]

This release sees an update to the HC55516 sound chip used for speech/FX on

all WMS games from Gorgar up to Twilight Zone. Static noise and distortion

levels are reduced, and generally sound reproduction is clearer than before.

At the same time, Bally's "Xenon" and "Flash Gordon" using the vocalizer

sound board was increased in speech volume.

 

A fix was added for "The Sopranos" so the game will not crash any longer

after starting the "Bing!" mode, or the Boss mode.

 

And finally, with the addition of "Hoops", the Gottlieb collection is finally

complete in PinMAME, with the exception of some kits (like Amazon Hunt II)!
