The American version has a bug that if it is not below 98 or second controller connected it does not start.

I just tested it with date 1994 and started the game

Interesting but dont kwow why is working With 20240202 and earlier Reléases.

odiaboeeu commented 4 months ago

I haven't followed all the changes here in git, but I think something of the internal clock has been implemented, when I accessed it was 2024 the date

A few weeks ago also had to turn off controller 2 for the game to start. I don't know what changes cause the game to launch once and not , but it's a known problem from real hw

The original game have two major bugs :

The game can't pass the KOKOPELI logo if two controllers are connected on the system (similar original hardware bug with Shinobi-X);
The game have a Y2K bug - if the RTC is set with a year greater than 1998, the game refuses to boot on original systems.

When introducing the RTC commit, the second bug have emerged & you need to set the real time clock with a lower year between 1994 and 1998 -inside the BIOS-, like on a real system.

So the issue should be classified as original hardware bug, not a core one.

EDIT : 1998, not 1999.

Ok i understand the problem, it seems not working because the core its even more close to real hardware.
