| Steps To Reproduce | Play the game for a minute or two - see example .inp files (one crashes on stage 6, one crashes after just a few moments of gameplay) | ||||

Confirmed. I started a game and was still trying to figure out the controls when I shot a helicopter, and the game reset itself. The error log is full of sound-related crap, but I couldn't see any watchdog reset or anything else unusual. |

This bug also happens with loopingu, loopingua, loopingub, and loopinguc. Get airborne, then hold the up key and the fire key together, until the game resets itself. loopinguc resets almost immediately which is possibly why it's mnw. The others take a minute or so. |

More investigation shows the reset is deliberate. A comparison takes place and if equal, the game resets. It looks like it might be interrupt related, but perhaps it's some kind of protection. Patching the jump fixes all the games, so maybe the location might help any dev who wishes to follow it up further. loopinguc: ROM_FILL(0x32b8,1,0x08) the others: ROM_FILL(0x335e,1,0x08) Annoyingly, for the others, the problem doesn't occur while in the debugger. |

Fixed for skybump & US looping sets. I wasn't able to fix the newly added loopinguc. |
