| Summary | 07471: empcityu, empcityj: [possible] Empire City 1931 boss stage graphic/gameplay glitch | ||||
| Description |
Issue triggered when reaching the boss stage in Empire City: 1931 (the stage after round 8, where you have one shot to kill the boss). Instead of showing the building, the "lose a life" picture was shown, and the game didn't respond to movement or buttons, just counted down the timer. I triggered this once on empcityu on a game where I continued, and I triggered this once on empcityj on a game where I reached the boss stage on a first credit. I'm not sure what triggers it. The next time I played empcityj we made it through the boss stage without the bug. I haven't played the original PCB so I'm not certain this is an emulation issue. Attached is an .inp file which reproduces the issue for me with empcityu on MAME 0.212. |

Test it in mame 0.215. It's crucial to test the last mame version if you want to report an issue. |

Confirmed I've only made it once to the final level of the game and the bug has appeared. So it seems it is quite common. Uploaded savestate |

It seems the issue be caused by pressing the defend button just before clearing scene 8, and then clearing it while still displaying the avoidance effect. I confirmed it in the Japanese version. This may be a problem with the original PCB, but I can't reach this scene without state saving of MAME.

I've played the whole USA version of the game without saving, just continuing. I can confirm Sasuke's idea of the issue: It only happens when you keep pressing the defend button when finishing stage 8. So yes, this could be a pcb issue, a BTANB. Marking as possible and adding it to my list. https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=381907&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=&vc=1#Post381907 |
