[Solved] Arcade Emulation Help, OnionOS (lemmy.today)

I just changed from MinUI to OnionOS on my Miyoo Mini+ to try more forms of emulation such as Arcade. I specifically want to play Bosconian. I got it running via the core "MAME 2003-Plus" using two different ROMsets, "bosco" and "boscomd" from the Archive.org "MAME 2003-Plus Reference Full Non-Merged ROMsets" page.

However, I'm having the same issue with both being "Warning: audo sample(s) not found".

Did I happen to pick two bad ROMsets or is there some larger issue I'm having? Is this a common issue that people know how to fix?

If memory serves that would be in the bios/mame 2003-plus/samples folder to be more precise.

Thanks for the clarification

Samples were used on older versions of MAME before the custom audio generators were emulated. They can be found at samples.mameworld.info and would go in the "samples/bosco" directory.

Thank you! I'll try it later!

It works! Thanks so much.

For anyone else seeing this in the future with the same problem, the zip was labeled "bosco" for the audio files so I used it with the ROMset called "bosco". I placed it where @UsuallyLurker said and I no longer get the warning and the audio works great.

Hey, since you got the Miyoo Mini+, don't sleep on NES library.

Tornados recently ripped through Cleveland, and I was without power for 3 days.

I played my Miyoo Mini+ all night.

I'm 40, but if you showed me this thing in 1988, just playing NES, I would have screamed. Imagine playing NES games, in the 80s, at school!!!

Actually, I'd probably have gotten this magical device taken away by my teacher.....

"ITS TIME TO DO MATH!!!"

"But I'm playing Super Mario Bros THREE!!!"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE PLA----wait, Super Mario Bros THREE???!!! Holy shit. It's 1988. That game is only out in Japan. I've seen pictures, but never played it...........so how is it?"

"IT'S AMAZING!!! THERES A RACOON LEAF!!! AND A TANOOKI SUIT!!! AND A FROG SUIT!!! AND A P-WING!!! AND WARP WHISTLES!!! AND NOW KING KOOPA HAS 7 KIDS!!!"

"Yeaaaaaah, I'm going to have to take this from you. I'll be at my desk.....holy shit, is that goomba spraying me with mini goombas? Oh, I can't jump now!!!"
