@Vlad Thank-you so much for taking the time to report all this! I will take a look later today and see if I can figure anything out. This is a big help. If you have time later, check if those empty net goals could be hat tricks, or if this issue happens as the visiting team. No worries if you are too busy.

@Vlad If you were willing, would you check my latest ROM (linked in my signature), and see if it has the same issue for you? I ask because a version of my ROM was used as a basis, and it would help us isolate where & when the problem originated. A few more questions to consider: - does it happen when you are the home team, visiting team, or both? - does it happen on the top net, bottom net, or both? (essentially the same question) - Any particular teams that you are scoring with? - Any particularly players that you are scoring with? I have no way of testing on a MiSTer unfortunately, but when I tried to recreate this error with GenesisPlus 1.7.5.1, my game ended like this when Draisaitl scored a Hat Trick, with ~2 minutes left in the 3rd. Is that the kind of error you are seeing?

Ah, yes. You did say that didn't you. Regarding specific times in the game: Behind the scenes, the pulling-the-goalie parameters are modified that the CPU will empty their net at the 60 seconds remaining mark, if the deficit is one or two goals. I did a test where I was up by one and the CPU pulled their goalie and I scored to go up by two. Their goalie still pulled, I scored again. Up by three and their goalie back in, I let them score. Up by only two again, I scored once more and it was actually this third empty netter that I noticed an odd glitch in the top left corner of the crowd. It was only for a fraction of a second before going away when the "Goal! Scored by..." window came up though, but that was actually the only issue I encountered and at no time did it freeze or display an error for me. I am curious if this has something to do with the modified parameters for pulling the goalie. [Usually the CPU will only pull the goalie if down by exactly two goals] but since I'm using Gens on a Windows machine, I'm also thinking that this may also be an emulator specific issue as well. Got any ideas @AdamCatalyst?
