The King of Fighters Evolution (NTSC)

[MDashK]

Game boots OK. Reaches the first intro copyright logos (MPEG Sofdec and ADX) and locks image. It keeps running however: you hear the SNK logo sound effects, the video intro sound, upon pressing Start you hear the sound effect and you can hear getting into the menu with the sound effects, but the image stays frozen in the previous mentioned logos.

Changed around all the usual settings (Transparent Sorting, Rendering Options, Native Depth, SMC...), but the result was always the same.

Suggested tag: Crash

Game runs just fine on the most recent build (he used bfa1fbb5 while I used 4e675664). The game runs ok in-game but runs most of the time at fullspeed in the menus.

Would suggest In-game+

Recommended settings:

Usually 60 FPS in game menus, in-game around the 40's FPS, may dip to the 30's, also dependant on how heavy the 3D stage is.
