it's tricky, i can max hit 3x, but not finish this level

#1) btw: some alg service manuals can be found a resource.cx.

#2) running the intro-sequence until the video stops, the logfiles lists this as last video event:
Code:
16-235 [1457 000=000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 0000000E 00000000 00000000
19-488 [1652 000-000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 0000000E 00000000 00000000
19-622 [1660 000-000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 0000000E 00000000 00000000
57-711 [3942 000-000]: VIDEOGRAB EVENT 00000001 00000000 00000000
"00000001" end of file, as toni wrote above.

#3) how do they do the timing? are there some hidden frames or is it the filelength?
i thought we could just use any video file, but this does not work, why not?

==> unMAMEd has some technical details:
Quote:
the machines rely on the frame number of the CAV laserdiscs to find the correct video to display, and there can be over 60000 frames (individual images that play to create the video, or pause for a still screen) on a LD
#4) here you can see the end title of the game, which is missing from the video we have - skip to 22min 20 secs
