Platform / OS / Hardware:

Flycast 1.3
Windows 11

Hardware:

Intel 12th gen
RAM DDR5

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.
