Freeze after first screen of In The Hunt US and EU versions #35

Closed hitmanmcc closed 1 year ago

The US and EU versions of In The Hunt boot but they freeze after the very first screen which shows the publisher logo/animation. The Japanese version is different and actually reaches the menu and loads the first level but then it always crashes at the exact same point of the menu. Tested on Model 1 PAL console, Model 1 JPN console and Model 2 JPN console with latest firmware and menu.

This one can be closed as it is apparently connected to some weirdness of the game itself. It will work if it is booted without the P1 controller connected. I found some info on it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SegaSaturn/comments/3hxu0k/in_the_hunt_peculiar_disc_read_bug/. What I did was select the game from the Satiator menu and immediately disconnect the controller. I then plugged it in again after the game had boot and I managed to play through the first level. I don't believe any changes to the Satiator firmware could circumvent this so I'm closing this.
