Sorry to bump, but this seemed better than starting a new thread. I have this issue as well, which mostly seems noticeable with Enix import games. Then again, that's mostly what I've been trying out recently, so it may be coincidence. Here are my findings so far:
- I do NOT have any issues using the browse menu as others have indicated
- Downgrading to 0.1.3 seems to resolve all issues mentioned below, as least from what I've noticed and the limited testing I've done so far
Using 0.1.4 or higher presents these issues
- Star Ocean (translated then patched) starts but locks up at character naming screen on a new game
- Tales of Phanstasia starts but locks up during the initial intro battle sequence (at various points during this scene, not always the exact same spot)
- Some games such as Top Gear 3000 and Seiken Densetsu 3 some just go to a black screen at start up, but if I reset the game a time or two, they will usually start up and play fine (not fully confirmed with TG3000 - not test in 0.1.3 yet)
I plan to do more specific game test during the week, but for now I think I'll stay on 0.1.3 and see how that goes for the games I want to play at the moment. I also plan to do some hardware checking on my system. Unfortunately I don't have another SNES to test with. I will also test with another SD card just in case.
Looking forward to 0.1.7 as it sort of sounds like that may help with some of this, assuming it's a firmware issue and not something else. Sorry if this was redundant info, but figured I'd throw out what I'm seeing as well.
EDIT: Tested using another SD card and had the same issue. I will test with others I have sitting around, but I doubt there will be any difference.
