Summary | 08811: mz700: MZ-700 Several games marked working don't work | ||||
Description |
The following games do not work when loaded in Sharp MZ-700. Some require basic, other don't. They ALL fail regardless of any and all combinations of preloading basic or no basic at all and tested in all versions of Basic available. All of them are marked working and so is the system. I don't know if it's bad dumps or bugs... but given that they all don't run after loading tells me something needs to be marked imperfect or not working somewhere... amity antares bouldash catacomb complain comptek demasaso descente destruct diaboliq globule guerre impomiss isola jeuxint jumprun ksmines manza matpendu missiona misalpha misdelta morpion morpius nombres octopuss panique pendu puiss4 puzzle rebond rr1906 schac700 sinberg soudard spacific starfght spoker suprvrac supinvdr sysxpert urania2 vol676 yams zen |

Steps To Reproduce |
For games that require basic: 1) mame.exe mz700 -cass 1z013b 2) type L then enter 3) play tape until basic is loaded 4) change the tape to one of the games 5) type LOAD then enter 6) play the tape until the end For games that don't use basic: 1) mame.exe mz700 -cass GAMETITLE 2) type L then enter 3) play tape until the end |

Additional Information | I came across this https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=6058 and noticed a lot of the same games were mentioned there (in 2015!!!) with the same error of nothing happens after loading. Not sure why to this day they and the system continue to remain marked as working. | ||||

I won't be able to check for a few days, but afaik none of the sharp MZ-series are working correctly, and no work has been done for several years. One of the many unmaintained systems in MAME. |

Yeah, I don't expect them to magically work... it's moreso the fact that they are marked working when they aren't. |

I'm guessing it's probably one of the original lists when software lists were first introduced. At that time no testing was done to see what worked. I tried the program "isola", I have no idea if it's Basic or not, so I tried both ways, but the result was the same. The tape finished and the emulated computer was non-responsive. |

Yeah, the ones I listed all do that. Sometimes it's a small block of garbled text but most of the time it's unresponsive after loading. All game I didn't list DO work, I've tested every single one. |

Thanks for testing them all, it must have been quite time consuming. All that needs to be done, for now, is for someone to add supported="no" to the entries you have listed. It's just of matter of when it gets done. |
