Summary	08417: ddragon3, ddragon3j: Game over and ending music are missing
Description	Thanks for reading my bug report. Not game over and ending music. That bug happen since MAME several previous before 2010. Debugging CPU Sound (Z80) overclocking 140 % happen game over music. Testing cpu overclocking need soft reset in each value for game over music work. I had noticed that detail when testing from 101 % to 140 %. Overclocking 120 % works too, but few times not will play game over music. Value 140 % works better than even 120 %. Have an nice day.

That game even configured for 1 coin 3 credits was much avoided. Sprites moving much slow and skipping frames. ddragon3 was much strange. Not music in game over and ending happen since before MAME 0.66.

I don't however know if the driver is set up that way, it generates an interrupt on the command, which should sync things, and I'm pretty sure all sound latch comms used to provide some boost too, so if the bug dates back as far back as mentioned, it's unlikely, and if it ends up being timing related, could be waitstates instead. Probably worth logging what gets sent to the sound CPU, and seeing if anything does get missed though.
No.20555 Augusto Tester Sep 22, 2022, 03:07	Another detail is if doing cpu sound overclocking need to be "ahead" of the 68k. If you overclock 68k to 120 % the z80 need to be overclocked above 120% plus 40 % using the value 160 %.
No.20561 Mamesick Senior Tester Sep 23, 2022, 12:49	FWIW, at least here underclocking to around 90% the 68000 makes the game over jingle and the ending tune always play correctly.
No.20564 Augusto Tester Sep 24, 2022, 03:04	Here 68k 90 % not play game over music.
