[Run-Ahead issue] Super Star Wars - Return of the Jedi - pausing bug

[Max833]

I'm not sure that this is important, because this problem doesn't appear when Run-Ahead is disabled. But... well, maybe it is helpful to improve Run-Ahead or the auto joypad polling.

As soon as you enable Run-Ahead (with and without fast PPU, it doesn't matter), Super Star Wars - Return of the Jedi pauses the game from time to time (~20 seconds) without pressing the start button. Mesen-S has Run-Ahead as well, but there aren't any problems with this game.

EDIT The same problem appears with: Super Star Wars (USA) Super Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (USA)

Interesting. This reminds me of a very similar effect in Hentai Columns before byuu retired that he rightly chose to ignore because it was just some PD game and I was being typical. That too randomly paused last I tried.

Interesting. I tried Hentai Columns and I don't have any problems with and without run ahead. Probably because of the fact that @asuramaru fixed pretty much all known auto joypad polling issues.

Nice to know. I'm gonna have to check it out myself :3

About the Super Star Wars pausing bug: The same is happening with byuu's final release v115. So it looks like this bug has nothing to do with asuramaru's changes.
