Summary 01985: tigerh, tigerhj: Inputs don't respond after heliport 4 (area 35)
Description After heliport 4, just when big tank arrives, inputs don't respond (lose all your lives and you'll notice that you can't insert your initials).

This might be the correct behaviour so people couldn't play the game endlessly. So I need a verification against a REAL machine.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information This bug also exists for 'tigerhb1' bootleg but NOT for 'tigerhb2' bootleg.

I've uploaded the save states juste before the game becomes bogus. Unzip the file with directories in your "sta" folder and load from slot 0.

Note 1 : I've only put save states for 'tigerhj' (with the bug) and 'tigerhb2' (without the bug) so you can see the different behaviour.

Note 2 : Do NOT catch a small heli or the game might not bug (again, I can't explain why).

The save state is appreciated. I tested and confirmed the bug. Just note to anyone trying it you need to use "-cheat" to make the save state load correctly. This is one odd bug.. I'm leaning towards possible MCU emulation inaccuracies or unknown protection. I suppose anything is possible.

Before it gets lost, here is the post on MAME Chat board which explains this was a false alert because I was playing with cheats (my bad) : http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=172992&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 ...

Can someone copy/paste the explanations from the board into a text file to be attached to this report ?

Anyway, I flag this bug as "resolved" and update the various flags.

Since this is a result which was directly caused by using cheats, it's technically an invalid report. The link to MAMEWORLD should suffice for now. I'll let you, Stephh, bring over whatever relevant info you need to explain why it happens.
