 I think it's the Z80 sound CPU frequency which is too high. Looking at source, where it has been verified with a real PCB it's set at 24 MHz / 8, here it's at 24 MHz / 4......

 That's probably wrong too, but it wouldn't affect the pitch of the music. That's determined by the actual frequency of the sound chip.

 Hang on, did attract mode say Spark Man was both male and female? :-D

 Perhaps androgyny was big in Korea in the late 80s :) It is a bizarre attract mode...

 YM3812 to 3 MHz and Z80 sound CPU to 3 MHz and it's practically the same......... This values are taken from Hard Head PCB which is the only verified in this driver and has a very similar hardware.
