Bug in MAME (video recorded 6 months ago)



How it should work:
This video belongs to the 1 player version of the game anyway, where the bug is not present.

Yeah i finished testing and i found the game is glitched since it was added in (mame 123u1) a mame version between 123 and 124
also the sets affected are the 2players sets only
(1p version is working like it should)

Sets Affected
 (zerowing) Zero Wing 2Player Version
 (zerowingw) Zero Wing 2Player (Williams Version)

I'm adding again the "possible" flag. The bug is only present in 2 players version. It could be a design decision to make that boss more challenging considering 2 players were allowed. But I've checked it also ocurrs on easy mode.

I've found out that all the videos on youtube without the bug belongs to the 1 player version of the game. This can be checked just by watching the positions of the number of lives of the player (right side of the screen). In the 2 players versions of the game the number of lives for p1 are indicated on the left side.

I bet this is a BTANB. Unluckily there's no pcb video of this game to prove I'm right.

maybe you are right i've noticed the 1p version is more harder for example when you die all of your powerups are gone and you start again without nothing
this does not happen on 2p version but yeah pcb video is the best proof

my bet here is that it's a game bug, not a MAME bug, this would be under CPU control
