Airforce Delta Storm/Deadly Skies: Hangs when Certain Audio Plays

Title Information

  • Titles: AirForce Delta Storm (NTSC-U), Deadly Skies (PAL), Airforce Delta II (NTSC-J)

Bug Description

The emulator hangs one second after what should've been a missile alert sound effect or the second voiced dialogue in the mission plays. Can be reproduced by letting the game plays demo reel too.

Steps to reproduce this issue:

  1. Play any mission
  2. Let any enemy fire a missile at you OR wait until the second voiced chatter in the mission plays (happens at around 4 minutes mark on first mission)
  3. The audio then suddenly stops, and the emulator becomes not responding afterwards

OR

  1. Don't press anything at title screen and let the game loads demo reel. The emulator will hang shortly afterwards.

Expected Behavior

The missile alert beep should play and loops until the missile misses/hits you without freezing the emulator. The voiced dialogue should play without freezing the emulator.

AND

The game displays demo reel without freezing.

This problem has persisted since audio was first implemented.

As of 0.6.2-51-g3fd15218c7, fixed for NTSC-U version (Airforce Delta Storm) but not for PAL/NTSC-J (Deadly Skies/Airforce Delta II)

In a not related bug, the NTSC-U version doesn't let me to save game as well whereas saving works normally in other two regions.

Deadly Skies (PAL and JP version of Airforce Delta Storm) still has crash issues when enemy launching at the player. This issue doesnt present in NTSC version of the game
