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!
