This happens when reaching planet 19 normally also. I uploaded a state at planet 18; just finish the level or lose all your ships (I have extras accumulated) to go to 19, where it resets. Very disappointing that it has not been fixed in the years it has been emulated, as it is such a great game.

regression details: src/emu/sound/pokey.c
17bit/9bit random number generating (which according to pokey.txt is simulated: not 100% accurate) was changed in 0.37b7 to fix Tempest, and hasn't been touched since. Changing poly_init and rand_init back to how they were in 0.37b6 fixes Liberator. Doing that will break Tempest again of course :P

likely solution: accurate emulation of 17/9bit random generator.. any Pokey experts around?

Please do not bump a report only for pushing forward it.
Your useless change affects the My View page information, and if everybody does the same thing, the testers system will get screwed up.

Missed that Tafoid already updated the entry. Anyhow, fixed.
