I was playing Fighter's History for fun, because I have a very loose definition of fun, when some odd stuff started happening. At the start of the fight with Clown, the 2nd to last fight, MAME started flashing something akin to, "Accessed Copy Protection port 0248". Then when the fight started, Clown wouldn't fight back at all. He just blocked and jumped a bunch.

Once I got to Karnov, the final boss, it flashed another port which sadly I can't remember off the top of my head. The fight seemed pretty normal for a while until this happened to me and I had to close the emulator because it soft locked.

I've tried Googling around about the copy protection in this game but I haven't managed to find anything at all. There's nothing online. Does anyone know anything about this? Is that glitch actually a glitch or do you think it's related to the copy protection?

What MAME version are you using and what version of the game were you playing?

I'm not 100% sure where to find that. My MAMEUI says MAMEUI32 .122u1, but that may not be right. The game version though is World ver 43-07.

First, stop using MAMEUI. Second, 122u1 was released back in 2007. .171 was released last month. The glitch you were experiencing was fixed in .149u1, released in June, 2013:
0.149u1: Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added clone Fighter's History (Japan ver 42-03, DE-0395-1 PCB). Start hooking Fighter's History up to use DECO 146 protection. Removed the 'UNEMULATED PROTECTION' flag from Fighters History, for the first time ever you can actually play it until the end (previously the last 2 bosses would glitch because the protection results were missing

Alright, cool to know. I haven't updated because I've had issues running certain games on newer versions of MAME that require some files that weren't in older versions for some reason. Well glad that mystery was solved. Much obliged!

That can easily be solved by going to a site like retroroms.com and submitting a fixdat made using clrmame pro or using their downloads section.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
