No.00545 couriersud Developer Apr 4, 2008, 08:38	From the source: All games use a 6502 for sound (some are encrypted), all games except Cobracom use an Intel 8751 for protection & coinage. For these games the coinage dip switch is not currently supported, they are fixed at 1 coin 1 credit. The issue described looks like a related issue: incomplete emulation of the 8751

Also if you have a 2 player game and either gets a game over game completely freezes for a moment. MCU dump might help but it could be a race condition or even a btanb.

No.22099 Ellimist Tester May 9, 2024, 15:34	I made a brief video showcasing this problem exactly: Continue seems to work for 2P when 1 person is dead, but also when both players are dead. When both players are dead the other player gets a countdown before they are able to continue.
