Description
Version (or build number)
1.0.0
Steps to reproduce
-Use RetroDriven/Pocket_Updater v1.5.6 to install this core on a formatted memory card
-Run this core from the FPGA menu, as normal, and select (no-intro verified) "Rad Racer (USA)"
-Title screen shows, as expected, followed by the vehicle selection screen several seconds later
-Access the system menu and quit the core
-Run the core once more and select the same ROM
-Title screen is skipped and execution proceeds from the vehicle selection screen
-Access the system menu and quit the core
-Run the core once more and select (one that I know works, but there may be others) the ROM "Racket Attack (USA)"
-Allow the game to load
-Access the system menu and quit the core
-Run the core again and select "Rad Racer (USA)" once more
-Title screen shows, as expected, followed by the vehicle selection screen several seconds later
-Other ROMs seem to have other effects on the boot state of Rad Racer
Expected Behavior
The Rad Racer ROM boots to the title screen 100% of time on ROM load.
Actual Behavior
The Rad Racer ROM boots in a variety of states (perhaps according to the state of RAM?):
- The title screen
- The vehicle select screen (this is the most common)
- A grey screen that's unresponsive to game controls (happened once and can't reproduce)
- The ending sequence of the game! (happened once and can't reproduce)
Additional Context
Is there something odd about this game that I don't know? Is there a race condition (no pun intended) coded into the front-end or something? Or is this behavior I just happened to notice indicative of an issue with the core?
The reason I suspect the core is that the one time the game booted to the ending sequence, I used the system menu to "Reset core" multiple times and it simply reset the ending sequence every time.
