I've noticed broken graphics on U.N. Defense Force - Earth Joker (c) 1993 Visco Corp. It's in the intro screen when the cards appear the dog tags are broken graphics. Also on the prototype you can see that the text isn't as much cropped off as compared to the other 3 sets picture here & arrows pointing to where you can see more of txt.

But on the normal sets it's more cut off as you can see here so I don't know if it's meant to be like that or not but imho the txt is cut off in all 4 sets but not as much on the prototype. Picture here

So can you report the broken graphics please & thanks.
video of dog tags not corrupted in demo here.

Yes at first i thought it was a mame graphic bug as it wasn't happening in the other 3 sets just the parent, then going back & double checking, it then happened in all of the versions so i knew there was something different i had done. I knew it wasn't the cheats as i know that causes problems sometimes as cheats was off so it had to be something else, so I turned off hi score & auto fire which fixed the corrupt graphics. I turned on the hi score plugin & the corrupt graphics came back so I knew that was the problem.
Thanks gregf for replying if you can let who does the hi score plug in know that would be great.
The missing first letters in those screen shots I posted I don't know if that happens on a real pcb or not, but on the prototype you can see more of the missing text which makes me think there's more to it though again it could happen on the real pcb's.
Thanks

There's something that I'm wondering about: I know your English isn't that great, but do you even bother reading the posts you're replying to?
gregf's post says right there at the very beginning, "You get to contact Leezer about the issue and hope he can fix it."
What's wrong with you, dude?

Leezer that you replied to some time ago.
https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/sh...part=1&vc=1
Before mentioning the issue to Leezer, delete any of the files in the config folder first and also any old highscore.dat files that were created when playing or testing the game again.
Run the game again without any of those old files present to be certain that there is a bug issue.
If the issues still appear and it is certain that it is related to highscore.dat, then contact Leezer.
Most times when users update to a newer version of MAME and reuse the same folders for new version of MAME, the users will forget to delete all of the old files in the config folder. If you have a highscore.dat folder that might have old highscore.dat data files those should also be deleted because the bug issue might be not deleting old highscore.dat data files before reusing the same folders when updating to a newer version of MAME.

I didn’t look for the thread when typing first reply. I would have posted the link had I noticed it earlier.
https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/sh...part=1&vc=1
Although it was determined to likely be related to highscore.dat file, hopefully further testing will include deleting any of the old config files first in case same folders are reused when updating MAME.
It might still be old config files still hiding in the config folder causing problems, but maybe any old remaining highscore.dat files causing problems. All those files should be cleaned out and the game tested again without any of those old files present.
Other games from the asuka.cpp file should also be tested. Probably more games in asuka.cpp affected.

Thanks I figured it out in the end you know how it is when you've not had much sleep, we all skip over things by mistake.
