Simpsons arcade attract mode timing issue
#392746 - 12/06/21 03:13 AM


I know that I will probably need to add this to MAMEtesters (didn't see it on there), but I just wanted to know if anyone else can confirm this on MAME 0.238.

If you check this recording of a purported 'The Simpsons' pcb, if you wait for it to just after 1:36, you'll see the saxophone solo for Lisa Simpson matches the animation pretty well, but in MAME 0.238 (at least for me), the saxophone solo plays late and the animation starts well before the saxophone solo kicks in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBNev6BO1sU

Anyone else able to verify this?

I see this too.

It's like this in all 2 and 4 players versions

Everything else seems to match up though

Yes, if you look at any video of MAME (going back forever AFAICT) it seems the music is a tad slower, maybe a few beats per minute. The net effect is a gradual desyncing of the music and animation. The saxophone is noticeably off, as you say. By the end the theme music stops right after Maggie lands in Marge's lap in any real PCB footage, but it stops on the Konami logo on the following screen in MAME.

Were some issues noted with 0.222 but thought to be fixed.
