Question for Ian about DreamNeo CD

I was wondering about setting up NeoGeo CD games with DreamNeo CD.
We have 2 possibilities to do them:
ie 2 Data / Data sessions : Session 1 actually contains the NeoGeo CD game with the data track followed by the audio tracks and session 2 an empty data track.
The second method which is more classic is Audio / Data.
Session 1 contains the audio tracks and session 2 contains the data track for the NeoGeo CD game.
I saw that on your side you use the 2nd method for example Viewpoint.
My question is as follows : are you adding an empty audio track to compensate for the difference in tracks ?
What is the best method for you ?
Another question : I had made a version of Samurai Shodown RPG French translation with the NGCD SDL 1.2 Dev which worked.
I wanted to update it with the DreamNeo version but it remains blocked on a black screen after loading the ROM.
Would you be able to test to see if it's me or if there is something blocking ?

Thanks to you anyway for everything you do

I just also made Andro Dunos which in my memories had no sound with the previous version.

I took the opportunity to test other MVS to Neo Geo CD with DreamNeo CD :
- Codename - Blut Engel -> black screen
- Columns -> works but no sound (it was already the case with the previous version if I remember correctly)
- Eightman -> works fine, just a few sound bugs at times
- Ghostlop -> does not exceed the Data East logo
- King of the Monsters -> works fine
- Magical Drop 3 -> works but no sound
- Money Idol Exchanger -> seemed to work with sound but in fact always comes back to the main menu when we start a game
- Neo Puzzle League -> works but no sound
- Neo Mr. Do -> works fine
- Neo Thunder -> works but no sound
- NGD Ark -> works but no sound
- Panic Bomber -> works fine
- Puzzle De Pon -> works fine
- Tetris -> works fine
- Zed Blade -> works fine. 1st try: everything worked fine. 2nd try: no sound effects in the game, just the background music
- Zupapa -> does not work
