I am playing Moon Patrol on MAME, and I have noticed that when the yellow ship dives towards the buggy, it sometimes gets frozen on screen. I have shot one, and had it just sit in the air, not scrolling with the background. I have also had one hit the buggy, and it just stayed there in front of the buggy. For those of you that have the game, does it do this on the real hardware?

Thanks,
Paul

Edit: I meant the yellow and grey ships that chase after you if they are on screen to long. I just played again and had one of the solid yellow ones freeze on screen when it was below the middle of the screen.

I need to find out if these problems are unique to mame before submitting a bug report.

No they do not just freeze on the real game. They are too much of a PIA to so something that nice.

I'm running a couple older versions of MAME (.84 and .99) and it doesn't happen in either of those. Its one of my favorite games and I've been playing it for years on my MAME cab without seeing it.
 
It is listed as a graphical glitch on MAWS, but there is no bug report for it on mametesters. . I need to upgrade to the newest mame version to test it before submitting a bug report. I also need to look at the driver to see if it is listed as a known issue.

Thanks for the replies.
