PBA 2001 stuck at start menu

Post#1 » Thu Jan 12, 2017 8:18 am

Hi all :D

I have an odd issue with PBA 2001. I've burned a copy on two different drives to make sure it wasn't me and they both have the same issue. The game loads fine and gets to the start menu but as soon as I press the start button the menu music hangs and I get put back to the dreamcast main menu.

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Unfortunately this version doesn't work either it has the same issue the other one does. Could it be my DC that's the problem?

It could be. Either that or you didn't burn it properly.

I'd probably guess it's my DC then as I've never had a problem with other burned discs. But I'll try burning it one last time at the slowest possible speed my drive goes to and see how that works.

Do you have a PAL DC?
I do and I needed to patch the game to get it to work. No
downloads worked OK.

Yeah I'm on a PAL system, could you direct me on how to patch the game to run properly?
