Capcom 1942 (name change + not working)

[lagerfeldt]

After using the Update All script recently the name of 1942 (Rev B, gameset "1942") was changed to Capcom - 1942.

I'm not using any name scripts or have done any manual changes to the name list or any other changes to the system at all.

Also, and worse, 1942 (Rev B) has stopped working. Just gives me a blue screen.

Anyone else with this experience, ideas of how to fix it, and perhaps how this error/change happened?

Other examples of name changes (but still working cores) are Konami - Gyruss, Stern Elect. - Pooyan, etc.

I'm not sure if the name change of the arcade core is someone's mistake or a joke on purpose.1941, 1943 There's no word capcom in front of the name of the core. Why?????? The problem is that I can't change this. I hope to be put it back to the original name.

Certainly not a joke by anyone, but looks like some kind of error with the name list.

If you tweak the way the Update All script works you an select the behavior from "Common" names to "Manufacturer", i.e. Capcom - 1942.

However, this has no effect in my system after the latest Update All.

The names.txt file also seems to be ignored or at least partially ignored.

I've tried deleting it, rebuilding it, switching behavior back and forther, restarting - nothing works.

The fact that the 1942 Rev B core by Jotego suddenly stopped working might be a complete coincidence that has nothing to do with the name list bug.

The problem with the name comes from Names.txt. I don't use it and I don't have this problem.
Regarding 1942 Rev B it is indeed broken.

[lagerfeldt]

I don't use names.txt either in my test, but the problem continues.

|'ve tried deleting the file, activating and deactivating it from the script menu, rebuilding it, changing it manually - no luck.

It used to work until the last or second-last Update All run.

So more is at play.

Thanks for the info about 1942 Rev B - Jotego is aware, I suppose?

1942 Rev B is broken and some of the alternatives also. Some of the alternatives work, for example 1942 Rev A.
