Summary	00363: balonfgt: When you try to play balonfgt using both screens, the 2 screens get out of sync almost immediately.
Description	When you try to play balonfgt using both screens, the 2 screens get out of sync almost immediately. Maybe they didn't care about sync because the screens aren't synced anymore after a game with only 1 screen.

I tried starting a 2 player game and I didn't notice a sync problem with the video particularly (it was only a test, not a full game), but the audio didn't seem perfectly sync'ed, which made the audio sound irritating. I wonder if the problem is not as bad as this report makes it sound, or if the problem has gotten better due to changes between v70u5 and now.

This is old information more than four years ago I received. According to the information provider, this is caused by wrong CPU emulation time slice. It has to switch CPU every half scan line clock (approx 113.6 / 2) to synchronize properly. But in MAME switches it every 112 clocks or 113 clocks. I have a sample program to prove that the theory works correctly, but I can't make it public for some reason.
