Same issue here. JP Top Loader Neo Geo CD with SD Loader. Game freezes on NOW LOADING screen after selecting a character.
Viewing post in Street Fighter II Champion Edition for Neo Geo CD comments
My main test unit is a Japanese top loader with Furrtek's SD Loader using firmware 0,11 , and setting the region to Europe, Japan or USA the game loads and you can fight any combat using the downloadable version which is available here. For CD-R media I use a Japanese CDZ, with same results. Have double checked 5 minutes ago.
To track this down, could you check a few things on your SD Loader?
- Firmware version (shown in the loader menu). I test with v0.11; versions before v0.9 had bugs with games that load during play.
- In the loader settings: Developer mode OFF and Debug DIP 1 and 2 all at 0 (they may have been changed for another game and stay active).
- Try removing any .dip files from the SD card root, and copy the game folder again exactly as downloaded (BIN files + CUE, not converted).
- Does it freeze on the very first fight, or after a few?
Your answers will tell me if it’s a setting or something I must fix in the game. Thanks!
Ok, it seems there are some kind of problem with some modded consoles using SD Loader, because I tested the CD-R with non modded consoles (CDZ and top loader) and it works. If you want to help me to find the problem, write me to info@arcadeartisan.com and I can provide you a build with a diagnose tool that can help me find the problem.
