Re: UPDATE- - Problem Solved!

>> I don't know about any fix that was added,

Haze’s post in this thread from last year.

Somebody did attempt to improve it a few years back, but possibly even made it worse, or at best just made it fail in different ways.

The problem is the protection maintains some kind of state machine for the game, and even the correct original behaviour isn't fully understood (the hacks / bootlegs seem to be questionable in their logic)

It's probably done with a 'simple' PAL, but those can have quite complex behaviour.



> you see I use the same ROM that I used years ago..

For this issue, the problem doesn’t have anything to do with romfile, but how the rom is handled. With recent work on emulation of Monster Zero, maybe a slim chance that any files associated with galaxian.cpp source got
an update or two that improved gameplay of The End

Good to know that The End is currently playable for now.
