KOF 98 - Stage Camera Failure

tacodaemon commented 4 years ago

The "camera" occasionally fails to follow characters as they move around the stage. Characters can move far out of view of the player while the camera remains static. I tried to reproduce this in AES practice mode, but couldn't after several stage changes. I was only able to reproduce the problem twice. Here are the specifics I can provide:

Miser v200216 NEOGEO v200123 Default Settings

Started Arcade Game
Chose Advanced mode (Default) and Terry, Andy, and Joe as my team.
Chose same order to fight with.
Fought on Korea Stage.
Won all three rounds with Terry without taking a loss.
Chose same team order for 2nd round. This was the China stage on the first try, and Japan stage on the 2nd try. -Camera does not follow character action.

I tried a third time with the same steps, but lost with Terry and my character changed to Andy. The 2nd stage was the Middle East, and the problem did not occur.

Can you verify that the rom you are using has been patched to remove the copy protection? Darksoft are by default.

I didn’t manage to get Korea stage, despite doing what you wrote. Can you still reproduce the error with paulb-nls latest commits?

Wow, I forgot about this. I guess I haven't played that much of Kof98 since! I just played 3 stages, ending with 5 rounds of the Korea stage. Same ROMs as before, but no problems. I assume this was fixed sometime in the last 3 years.

Great. Please close :)
