I haven't tried this one yet. Were you able to replicate the intermittent black flicker described here for "ECW Hardcore Revolution"?

Haven't tried the other ECW game. Just this one.
I was waiting to build a DCP until this was more widely confirmed, or even potentially fixed. In the meantime, here's a DCP for Langrisser.

EDIT:
I gave both ECW games a try and couldn't replicate the black flicker issue reported by pcwzrd13. Here are DCP patches for each.

Damn you guys are fast. I can't keep up with you. lol Thanks both of you MoeFoh and ateam for patches. About to test the hydro thunder, KOF 98 and Airforce Delta patches before posting in collection thread.

ateam is the langrisser patch one you created? I don't remember seeing TapamN making one.

No, TapamN did it. See here: https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... 80#p175410

Interesting. Maybe my capture device doesn't like something about it, which is odd considering it takes all the weird VGA signals some of these games output. lol

I'm sure it's do-able, but I just don't have the time to dig deeper (for now). It goes without saying that should a VGA patch be developed for this game, my friends who did the English translation patch will incorporate it into an update for all to enjoy.
Oh, the translation wasn't already patched? I'll take a look at it then.

I don't get flicker on my CRT, and I don't see anything unusual about the register settings (like I did with Hydro Thunder). That weird green gradient doesn't look like something the DC would be generating. I think the problem is that the game is just so bad your capture device is getting sick. I can't fix that.

Okay, so I'm not sure why, but after hearing multiple people say that the "Hydro Thunder" patch is working for them, I decided to fire it up again on my DCDigital HW2. I have MagiClock disabled, just like before, except this time... the game works! DCDigital HW2 requires a reboot in order to turn MagiClock off, which I most certainly did before my last test. Honestly, I'd rather be wrong here! All that being said, find below a .DCP patch.
