Spriggan is still crashing right after start screen. No log to show because of a nasty exception..

No such crash prob at start with my other CD games (Valis 2, 3, 4, Spriggan Mk 2, Puyo Puyo 2, Gate of Thunder, etc...)

Minor CD glitch in Loom:

Ok, first the theory. This game is used to load from the data track a lot; when it happens and an audio track is playing, the PC Engine doesn't just stop the track, it actually fades it out, then stops it, goes to the data track, retrieves the required information for the next room, remembers the sector where it stopped the audio track, and plays it back from there by doing a fade-in.

All of this works neat in ME, except that the audio track starts back about one second before it should, like if ME was playing back from the wrong sector or something. You can test this at the very beginning of the game, by walking down the cliff when the music is playing, or by listening to the Council of the Elders (lots of unnecessary loading here, another sloppy QA job from Lucas!).

Minor generic audio CD problem in many RPGs:

Fade-ins from PSG to CD work great, but fade-outs from CD to PSG are very steep (the volume of the CD track is abruptly muted when it should actually fade). Examples: Emerald Dragon, Kabuki Den, Manjimaru...

I have to report that Super Raiden works perfectly with PR 6. Was able to play it till the end, and no problems whatsoever. My USB joypad sometimes stuck in one direction after switching from another (from up to diagonal up-right, and then to right) for a second until I let go, but I suspect this is more a windows issue. Only happened once or twice.

Same joypad issue here (as I mentioned in another thread).
It's a rather annoying problem that seems to occur only in ME 1.0 PRx.

I'll have a butchers tonight at v.099b5 to check if this version suffered from this "bug?".
