I have created a pull request for this issue: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/4730

This program waits indefinitely until vsync are enabled.
But MAME was checking for vsync after increasing line counter so it was never enabled when line=0.

Similar problem with Adios a la Casta 2, which works until after the title screen, then there is only the background music and a blackscreen with seemingly no controls. Should I raise a dedicated ticket for this ? Problem is confirmed up until Mame 0.206.

Tried Adios a la casta 2.cdt and works great. However Adios a la casta 2 crashes emu when selecting dsk image at file manager.

It crashes in 0.206 ? I recall it crashed mine too a few versions back but not with 0.206 which I tried before my previous comment. Blackscreen + music after title, confirmed again a moment ago. Tried with the .dsk image.

As I said, the game is playable in current 208 GIT, but the dsk crashed the emu, so I played the cassete version. I don't have 206 to test, but seems that the issue was the same that Hundra.

"Adios a la Casta 2" does not work in 0.206 but it works now.
The issue was not the same than "Hundra", but the same than "Profanation 2" fixed here: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/4725

Note: "Adios_a_la_Casta-2-vs-1.0" dsk from: https://www.4mhz.es/adios-a-la-casta-episode-2-de-buen-rollo/
         leads a segfault if loaded with internal file manager. It works if loaded via command line (although it aborts at exit).

         Version "Adios-a-la-casta-2-loader-reprogramado-Joseman-para-4Mhz" from: https://www.4mhz.es/adios-a-la-casta-episode-2-de-buen-rollo/
         works fine.
         Version "Adios A La Casta - Episode 2 v1.0 (UK) (128K) (2016)" from: http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&onglet=dumps&num=13113
         works fine.

Glad to see you killed those two bugs in one go ! Information acknowledged, and thanks for all the great work, AmatCoder. I guess several "contemporary" release use some exotic coding practices not initially taken into account by CPC emulators, MAME/MESS or otherwise. Star Sabre seems to suffer from this in the intro sequence, although it is playable.

For the record, with this commit: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/66a4629631b8796896a4dc3bd080399b8531ada0
"Adios_a_la_Casta-2-vs-1.0.dsk" no longer produces a segfault but an error.
It is a double-sided image so it needs a double-sided floppy drive. "35ssdd" works but only on drive A (for unknown reasons - most probably another bug...)
