Shooting in cutscenes in HOTD2
Platform / OS / Hardware:
Flycast 1.3 Windows 11
Hardware:
Intel 12th gen RAM DDR5 RTX 3060Ti
Description of the Issue
During gameplay is possible to shoot and reload during cutscenes in HOTD2 arcade USA ver. I don't remember that behavior in the original arcade.
Debugging Steps Tested
Tried with other versions of Flycast, with Sinden light gun and with mouse. Same result
Which cut scene(s)? I tried shooting and reloading during the initial cut scenes (with G) and it doesn't work. Try with the latest Flycast version.
I already tried with the lastest ver. 2.3, and everytime theres a cutscene like the charater talking with each other when the HUD dissapears, I can keep shooting and even reloading, during this transitions. It's not a big deal, maybe it's some problem on my side.
I was wrong. There's no audio or visual effect but shooting and reloading works during cut scenes. So it's not a problem on your side. Now the game continuously polls the inputs (lightgun position and trigger switch), including during cut scenes. And I don't see any hardware output that the game could use to disable shooting temporarily.
At this point I would need confirmation that this doesn't happen on real arcade cabinets. This game was the first Naomi game released so it's a bit of a prototype.
No activity. Reopen if you have more information about original hardware regarding this issue.
