What is the behaviour you observe? Playing through the game eventually results in the background music getting stuck in a loop or "locking" on the same note. Think of it as if a game were to crash or lock up, and the music note at the point where the game crashes repeats at a rapid loop. Moving to a new part of the game where the music changes will fix the issue, but it will eventually get stuck again at some point. It's difficult to consistently repro this behavior at a specific point, it just seems to randomly happen. The skipping background music seems to have no impact on your ability to continue playing the game.

I have a suspicion this is the same bug as or related to Issue #9, as I am able to repro that and it's the exact same problem I am experiencing with X4.

What is the behaviour you expect? Playing through the game will not result in the background music getting stuck in a loop.

FWIW, the exact same thing happened yesterday while playing Bubble Symphony. The music gets stuck on a single note, happened after playing for 10 minutes or so. Firmware 153 and Menu 59.

Wanted to add something I noticed when this occurred today on FW156 Menu64. Controller input polling rate seemed to be halved. When the glitching music occurs X wasn't able to shoot consistently at his normal rate of fire and it was as if about 1/2 the button inputs for fire were being dropped.

I also experienced this while playing Bubble Symphony. I’d been playing for about 30 minutes before it occurred, so it’s probably not easy to consistently reproduce.

same issue for Megaman X4

lordviceroy commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the info @andy83-projects. If you could let us know the MNU and FW version you're running, that would be helpful. You can check the bottom left of the menu screen for this information.

andy83-projects commented 2 years ago

Firmware 156 and menu 66. The current from the latest.

also maybe to note. When sound locks up as MEGAMAN on dragoons stage, the game will reset the system to the CD player after changing areas

Does this still occur with FW 157 or newer?

lordviceroy commented 2 years ago

Played through the entire intro stage and the jungle stage as Zero on the MSHvSF-fixed FW and Menu 67, music never skipped. I think this can be closed as fixed @abrasive!
