Sengeki Striker Not Working

[Gitweazle]

The game Sengeki Striker (both Korea & Japan) are not working in MAMEHub. It starts and even creates a proper NVRAM file, but during boot up the game itself does not pass the clock test. It shows: (Clock: NG) and 00:00:00 Jan 00 as the time.

The game works fine in the normal MAME 0.149b.

I tried the following things to no avail:

• Manually setting the clock.
• Replacing the NVRAM with the one from MAME 0.149b.
• Running CSUME from the command line.

Ah, yeah any game that relies on a real-world clock doesn't work ATM, but it should be an easy fix. On Jul 22, 2013 12:06 PM, "Gitweazle" notifications@github.com wrote:

Ok thanks, no problem. :+1:

I ran into another game that isn't working and it occurred to me that this is probably the same issue.

The game is called The Crystal of Kings (crysking.zip + BIOS file crysbios.zip), a decent Golden Axe clone. The symptoms are similar to those of Sengekis:

• It starts, but hangs during boot up. I am not able to enter Service Mode (F2) or Reset (F3). Sometimes it even hangs CSUME completely (had to close with Task Manager).
• Running straight through CSUME (with and without -server arg.) doesn't work.
• It works just fine in the normal MAME 0.149b. Service Mode shows a real-time synchronized clock.
• I can't find anything out of the ordinary in the (gui) logs.
