iidx18: Game stuck on boot when using BT5 monitor check

[icex2]

Summary

IIDX 18 gets stuck on boot when the BT5 monitor check is enabled.

Expected behavior

Should not happen, game boots.

Current behavior

Game gets stuck mostly on "GAME SYSTEM BOOTING..." but can also happen before that, e.g. first screen with "elapsed time" showing the value 2.

Detailed Description

Not a lot to add to the above.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add -p gfx.monitor_check=0 or -p gfx.monitor_check=59.95 to gamestart.bat and run it. Or, set the values in the iidxhook.conf file.
2. Run the the game.
3. You should not get through the boot process after a reasonable amount of time, i.e. 1-2 minutes, to reach the attract loop

Possible solution

Don't use BT5's monitor check with iidx 18 for now.
