Summary 03799: junofrst: Credit during demonstration play causes graphic error
Description This is an interesting one. When you credit while the gameplay demonstration is happening, the credit/title screen's logo gets cut off on the right side. What's even weirder is that it doesn't happen with the gottlieb version of Juno First (junofrstg).
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information I was able to test early mame versions and found a regression version - 0.33u6
Both 0.33u5 and 0.33u6 snaps are included.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a real game bug, especially given that it only happens on one version. They could also have coin lockout enabled in attract mode (if it isn't already hooked up) but that would be somewhat illogical.

Added an animated GIF. The regression version (MAME 0.33beta6) is
correct. I checked it with DOSBox. The bug was not in MAME 0.33b5!

From src/mame/video/tutankhm.c.html :

TODO: Does bit 1 of the source address mean something?
      We have to mask it off otherwise the "Juno First" logo on the title screen is wrong.

And indeed is the "copy" flag only based on bit 0 :

int copy = state->blitterdata[3] & 0x01;

It would be interesting to see the difference in the code between the 2 sets as GFX1 is the same.

it's a timing problem

the interrupt draw the "juno first" logo before the screen is clear; at the end of the interrupt the "clear screen routine" continue and delete the last
part of the logo

MDRV_CPU_ADD("maincpu", M6809, 1500000) /* 1.5 MHz ??? */

with a higher value the bug disappear
we need to know the exact clock

PCB info says for 2x Juno First bootlegs 1x oscillator 18.432 = 18432000 Hz.
If the factor is 12, then
18432000/12 = 1.536 MHz

it's necessary a PCB; maybe Tutankhamon use a very similar PCB

When I tested I could have sworn it was fixed in that era - I'll have to check if/when it re-regressed.
Unresolved for now.
