Do you mean that the game doesn't proceed wherever you shoot the screen?

For me, the game is working although, shots are not detected where the aim cursor is.

Looks like the lightgun usage is busted. Confirmed.

duckhunt and vsgshoe (which use the standard NES palette) still work; it's only the games that combine a lightgun with a nonstandard palette that regressed.

The problem is in WRITE8_HANDLER( gun_in0_w ), which uses a hardcoded list of which colors are "bright" (i.e. bright enough to trigger the light sensor in the lightgun). The hardcoded list of bright colors is only correct for the standard palette.

Any chance this issue will be revisited? It's been 5 years since it was reported.
