1943 Capcom game bug

[darwinmac]

I readily admit this is not a classic shoot-em-up. However, I happened to hear about it from somewhere and I found a cracked ST version on Planet Emulation. However, the game plays much faster than it's supposed to. I've noticed that the music is speeded up as well. I have tried several cracks and TOS 1.0 as well as 1.04. While Hatari is set to 8 Mhz, I am guessing that the game is running at a much faster speed. I am not an assembly programmer, but I am assuming the game is doing software loops that it assumes take a certain amount of time on an 8 Mhz ST.

I only mention this because this same problem might affect a better game.

Hello

you're probably using a TOS version that set the refresh mode to 60 Hz instead of 50 Hz (US TOS for example).
Could you try with a french tos for example ?

Nicolas,

Yes, I was using US versions of TOS. When I tried the French TOS 1.0 version, the problem went away. I mean the game still stinks , but it was playable. I have to say I got a good laugh at the game moving at 10x the normal speed. I have not had that problem before. I kept the French version of TOS 1.0 around in case this happens again to me. I previously kept a UK version of 2.06 but, even when I owned a real ST back in the day, I found that the older games really preferred TOS 1.0 or TOS 1.04 at most.
