I mean Spinball, typing on a droid is a pain.

Indeed, that's strange though as it works fine in my own test build on windows (as well as in retroarch for win32).

Do you have any idea about which revision it started freezing like this ?

Fixed in r940.

For the record, this could have potentially affected other games: it was caused by an unexpected timing case which could cause VDP FIFO emulation to update the CPU cycle counter to a very big value when two consecutive writes are made to VDP DATA port in the same instruction.
