MDK (PAL) hangs up randomly

[Kuba-J]

There are occasional locks up in MDK (PAL) but there is no easy way to reproduce this. Sometimes for 2-3 hours I had no problems. Sometimes right at the beginning the game would hang. Most often you can encounter this problem in tunnels where the game data is being read.

Core 20230503, default settings.

Workaround:

Turbo low

I retested this with PSX_20240922.rbf and it's impossible to reproduce it.

My testing procedures included:

• Setting the core to use no "unstable" options.
• Played the PAL version of the game in different multiple-hour sessions.
• Left the game running continuously for more than 24 hours.
• Restored save states multiple times (more than 20) in sections prior to in-game CD access/loading tunnels and then went through such tunnels.

It has never crashed. Therefore, I recommend closing this ticket.

Also, I did a retest

• The game ran continuously for more than 10 hours.
• Checking repeatedly the tunnel where the data is loaded.
• I played for few hours.

I was not able to reproduce the problem with core 20240922. Thank you @a-barone for testing and for reminding me about this bug report. Cheers!
