I presume this is because your monitor running at 60hz + you are using vsync and is running slower than the emulation expects which is just a touch over 60hz. With those games over 60hz, there will be stutters when video syncing is enforced. Can you shut off waitvsync (or similar video card setting) and try again? |

Hi and thanks for getting back to me. My monitor is at 60Hz. I have the following in mame.ini: - syncrefresh 0 - waitvsync 0 - refreshspeed 0 I notice the game is meant to be run at 60.055992 Hz. If you start the game without a save state and hold the Fast forward key down, the freeze happens about 13 seconds into the attract screen every time. If it isn't 100% reproducable by others, I suspect it is a settings issue on my part, though. |

Update: Maybe takes up to 20 secs sometimes... changing refreshspeed to '1' does not change things my end. Can anyone reproduce? |

No matter how long I leave the attractmode running, no slow down for me. How about trying it again with new mame.ini file? |

No hiscore enabled, no. I am pleased no one else sees this issue. I'd love to resolve it my end, but by all means close this report if no-one else can reproduce it. Must be something silly I've set in my settings. Thank you all for kindly getting back to me :) |

I can reproduce this. When first started, there's no sound in the attract mode. After 2 loops of this, suddenly we have sound. When this loop finishes, the bug appears. At the same time, the error log fills up with thousands of illegal accesses. It appears that the sub cpu crashed, and the maincpu isn't happy about it. And, the screen scrolls upward a little, pushing the score partly off the top. When run via debug, even though I hit enter when it started happening (and the addresses stopped moving), the error.log continued filling up with unmapped reads and writes until eventually a watchdog reset occurred. |

That works for me, let's wait a bit for brainskis' response. |

Thanks for the confirmation. Apologies but I won't be able to build and test this. |

I'll assume it's ok then. |
