Makes me wonder why the Hamster PS4 release is also missing the sound. Would a different emulator coded from the ground up have had the same inaccuracy? Sometimes people have assumed in the past that they may just be copying MAME, but they can't have just done that and called it a day, because the music timing is different from MAME (and from any of the real hardware footage we found, I'd naturally trust the real hardware), and also because the FM synthesis emulation is less accurate (like the ceiling bump), though there is that one instrument in the Germany level music that seems less distorted, so it could be more accurate in some aspects too. (Not the first time someone has noted a Hamster release sounding better than MAME, there was a whole thing about the sound emulation accuracy of Gradius a couple years back...)
I should probably log a bug for the distorted FM instrument. Wish we had more actual hardware footage of that level, though. I wonder if anyone has a fully working PCB...
