MAMEWorld Forums - Programming - Re: How do i use util::wav_open and wav

uh .... i think i'm not able to explain myself.

> Dude, I’m trying to help you learn to help yourself here.
I've understood it, don't get me wrong.
In my first reply to you i tried to explain how my mind sticked to the idea that i had to call that funtion: i saw it in old code, i trusted it should work that way today. The last time i looked at that source file was in 2016, i just tought i should ... "trust" what was there already. I was not debating about anything.

So i apreciated your reply.
I've also understood how it works after the first explanation and now that part works (at least, the file management, now i have to understand how the sound_stream_update works, but that's another story).

I'm sorry to frustrate you, 'cause -i repeat- i apreciated your first reply, and i was just trying to explain and ... justify myself telling why i fell in that "trap".

You know, i'd like to been able to compose phrases like that. I can read and understand them, but when i have to SAY something i can't always come out this way and the result is a sort of "raw" english.

I'm sorry i haven't been clear, and that i give the impression i was ... blaming someone or something; what i meant was exactly what you said. Still, i think i did'nt deserve the sarcasm from the other guy.

Thanks for your explanation. Really.
