Summary	01801: gauntlet and clones: Possible missing attract mode sounds
Description	MAME no longer plays speech and sfx in Gauntlet's attract mode eg.'Treasure 100 points' 'Save potions for later use' etc. Even back when it did (regression 0.123u4), it only played them once on the first run-through of the attract mode after power-up. I think this issue needs PCB verification to see if/when the speech should be played. Might also be related to the gaunt2 bug 01125.

No.00963 Machone Tester May 15, 2008, 14:17	The demo sound toggle in the service mode seems to control the brief bit of music played on the screen showing the warrior and the valkyrie. As far as I can tell this works fine and always has, it's just the initial attract mode speech that only played once that seems a bit odd...and now even that's missing!
No.02444 M.A.S.H. Senior Tester Sep 13, 2008, 20:06	Thanks to Fujix for his service mode finding. But it also works if you start Gauntlet, wait for the attract mode and then exit MAME. Restart the game and you can hear the sounds. Delete the cfg\gauntlet.cfg and nvram\gauntlet.nv first. I think the game generated the NVRAM later or MAME must wait until the game generates the NVRAM for Gauntlet. This all works not in MAME 0.123u4, this is the Regression Version and not 0.125u1.
