this game hangs after ~10 min of gameplay. same happens on real Dreamcast if modem is not connected.

I couldn't believe it at first, but I can confirm this 100%:

Real Dreamcast, German PAL Revision 1. Tomb Raider : Die Chronik V1.001 German

Broadband Adapter connected or nothing inserted into the expansion slot: Game freezes soon after the first or second Lara voiceover during tutorial Modem connected: Game runs fine

This isn't a DEMUL bug, its a bug in the game code. Same freeze of course also happens in DEMUL, but the devs are not to blame.

Also tested NTSC and UK PAL Versions, same problem.

Is it possible to emulate a modem-connection in Demul? I tested this using the Retroarch 'Flycast' core and the game kept working past the second dialogue, so the core must emulate modem settings.
