Got a full loop finished up. Managed to get this to sync across two different computers (old Windows 7 computer and newer Windows 10 laptop) and even managed to get a nice encode out of it as well. Seems like Sega System 16 hardware is working well on the experimental MAME core.

YouTube encode available here.

75% of a loop is done and the file seems to still sync on my old computer. Stages 19 and 24 are problem spots in that they don't feel fast to me even though that was the best I could get. For stage 24 it might be possible to not get the power orb in stage 2 and get it at the start but I think the wideness of the full shot is what makes some of the shots on the bosses work in some stages to begin with.

While I'm still having issues with MAMEHawk TAStudio stability including a bad savestate making a .tasproj file crashing in TAStudio but still playable in movie playback, the playback itself seems to be working perfectly fine for me. Movie sync still seems to hold up, and I can confirm that the moving platforms in stages 15 through 17 are indeed working in this version of Quartet.

This is a test of the 2022 Feb 8 build of the MAMEHawk core. I did a quick TAS of Quartet up to clearing stage 8. This version was used due to the version of the segas16a.cpp in the current MAMEHawk build doesn't have the emulated protection fixes from the latest MAMEdev revisions, which control the moving platforms on certain stages. I uploaded this to see if this would sync for other users as a preliminary test of Sega System 16 A hardware. I will keep at this to make sure this version of Quartet has working moving platforms.
