Summary 01030: starjack: "Star Jacker" side-by-side test.
Description Side-By-Side test

Game: Star Jacker
RomSet: starjack
Version:
PCB: Original Sega PCB
Mame Vers.: dmame57, pure mame, vsync on.
Test Date: 3rd February 2002

Visually, this compares very favourably with the original. However, it does look very squashed in mame
- even with turning the monitor around, so running as the original does (the original takes up the full screen).

It is only the audio that lets it down.

1) Despite fiddling with all of the dips, I could not find a way to turn ON the attract sound. It is always silent on the PCB.

2) Interestingly, all sounds are a *higher* pitch on the PCB. The opening tune plays at about 'C' on the PCB. Mame plays at 'A' below. So, there is about 3 semitones difference. Weird.

Runs very well in DOS on a 450Mhz Pentium. Almost always 60 fps. Good stuff.

Tripple buffer crashes the system and needs to be turned off.

If the original report is correct then I don't think either audio bug is fixed. MAME still plays sound in the game's attract mode and the opening tune still starts on A. I know home conversions weren't always accurate, but the Sega SG-1000 version of this game:



plays the opening tune (at about 25 seconds into the video) as described by the original poster. I believe this adds credibility to the original report.
