Sansa e250 and games

Hi:

New user.  Loaded the latest rockbox onto my sansa e250.  Everything works great.

Question - should I be hearing sound from the standard games, or from the pacman mame distribution?  I noticed that any time I attempt to stop a song using the power button the wps shows the song as "paused".  I'm wondering if this is the reason that I don't hear sound coming from games (no sound while a song is in progress, or paused)?  Or, maybe there is no game sound supported.

Sorry - I searched but couldn't find a discussion.  If there is one I apologize in advance.

Thanks for the help.

Most of the games don't have sound.  Doom has sound effects, but no music.  In many cases I like that as I can continue listening to music without any interruption.  I can even let my daughter play a game while I listen to music!

I'm not sure why your Sansa pauses when you tell it to stop, though.

zeno:
Thanks for the quick response.  It's a gift for my kid, so I wanted to be able to tell him that this is the way it's supposed to be...  you know how persistent kids can be... :)

Yeah, I thought that was strange as well.  The manual clearly indicates that "stop" and "pause" are different features for this device.  However, the play/pause key and the power button both yield a "pause", and after either I get a "resume" option in the preceding menu.  I thought maybe I needed a long hold on the power button, but that just shuts the device down...

Maybe I have some weird firmware.

Chronon:
What version/revision of Rockbox do you have installed?

zeno:
I used the auto installer and it installed r19135-081118 on my device.

Thanks again for the help!
