MooglyGuy,
Surely the aim of emulation is to get the games as accurate as possible, yes? If we think there is a problem, then it is up to us to highlight potential issues so they can be resolved.
If you had taken the time to read the notes I put on the video IT WAS TO CONFIRM whether I am correct. I think I am but I may not be. Fair enough. That is why I asked if anyone had gotten access to an original to check it out based on my observations. Is that so bad?
As I have said, the PCB I have used is a chip-for-chip replacement with the original. The sound on these older games are discrete - not using a sound chip - so both boards should (and do, from memory) produce the same sounds. All of the other sounds are correct. It is just the background hum that is wrong, I think.
I don't think what I am asking is really so horrendous. I just want this classic game to be as perfect as possible.
A final note. I did a lot of side-by-side tests in the past highlighting various issues since I have access to some of the actual PCB's. I have highlighted errors that no one would have noticed had I, and others like me, not spent the time to compare both versions, so that people like you can enjoy perfect renditions.
God, I miss those dark, musty arcades ....
