Summary	00377: bonzeadv: From the third level, if you die, the game hangs because the restart level is wrong.
Description	The documentation reports that emulation is good but from third level, but if you die, the game hangs because the restart level is wrong. So waiting for some fixes by Bryan McPhail I think that the documentation must be changed to imperfect or not working.

No.08354 NekoEd Senior Tester Mar 15, 2012, 13:35	I don't know if emulation has improved or if the original report is a little sparse on it's info, but the "START POSITION ERROR" seems to occur either randomly, or has improved; I did not get the error until I died at the Level 3 boss.
No.08778 haynor666 Tester Jun 26, 2012, 06:13	Still happens. Is MCU dumped/hooked in MAME ?
No.08779 Haze Senior Tester Jun 26, 2012, 22:51	No, it's still using simulation code. C-Chips should be a critical target for the decap efforts because they control a LOT of complex game behavior on this, rainbow islands and operation wolf (not so much on other games) but as of yet none are dumped.

Fixed a garbage line when you lose a life vs. level 3 boss in Bonze Adventure and clones. Changed visible area to 320x224 and fixed rom names. But when I look at the mame release notes of 0.57 I only see information about the improved C-Chip. Apparently the crash from stage 3 was fixed but not implemented in the 0.57 release! So all we have to do is look at the code that was programmed already and release that! http://www.progettoemma.net/index.php?gioco=bonzeadv&lang=en http://mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_057.txt

No.13355 haynor666 Tester Nov 13, 2016, 10:22	Tested using 179 - not fixed. It happen for me in upper part of level.
No.13356 Haze Senior Tester Nov 13, 2016, 11:44	yeah, definitely not fixed.
No.13970 Davidgilmour Tester Jul 10, 2017, 00:59	@fujix , @haze , @haynor666 please read my post no. 12534 on this page. There is a guy who fixed it but the mame guys forgot to use his code in mame. So all you have to do is get the code from release candidate 0.57. Thanks.

No.13991 Davidgilmour Tester Jul 19, 2017, 20:35	I just played the game on the GCW Zero hadheld, which has a version of XMAME, based on MAME 0.84 The game played perfect in that version, there is no bug in it. Maybe the developers can look at the source code? More on this XMAME at http://boards.dingoonity.org/gcw-zero-emulation/xmame-v1-0-release/

No.14824 Haze Senior Tester Mar 11, 2018, 18:37	Can this be checked in current GIT using the real C-Chip dump. It should be fixed.
No.14828 Kale Developer Mar 12, 2018, 00:18	Old simulation was full of inaccuracies such as wrong restart points (were too generous before) and some behaviour not present with the c-chip emulated, like the stage 3 skull pits aren't supposed to make the player sink at all.
