Hi everyone!

To make a long story short I recently bought Bio Hazard off an auction looking to expand my Saturn collection.
I dumped it and it verifies at Redump.org

I'm playing this game on Mednafen 0.9.48 x64 on Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB and everything have worked well with Jill's scenario, got the Best ending and under 3 hours for the Special key and the Rocket launcher.

Chris's scenario however I have only gotten the OK ending due to a strange freeze that occurs, let me explain.

In the end and if you have saved Rebecca and she lives, she will set off the self destruct and Chris can either save Jill or leave her.

Leave her and you can complete the game (got the rocket launcher at least) and you get the OK ending.

However I wanted the Special key and the Best ending also so I wanted to save Jill from the cell but as soon as Chris opens the door, enters, start talking to Jill and Jill runs towards Chris the game freezes with music still playing.

Nothing happens at all at this point, I waited as much as 10 minutes but they are just standing there.

I can still load save states so it must be a mild freeze or something.

The game have been working so great up to this point, it a shame to see it fall at the finish line.

EDIT:

I'm sorry to say that it froze in SSF too

I converted my save file and loaded it in SSF, I ran to the cell with Chris, opened it and it froze at the same spot.

This means that there probably is something wrong with my disc/dump then?

It sucks because it's verified at Redump.org

Crc32: ac746d7e

Don't know what to do here since obviously there is nothing wrong with Mednafen or SSF.



EDIT 2:

Had to call my good old friend Ryan who owns the NTSC-U version of Resident Evil and ask him to help me out.

I converted the save files for him (got lucky it worked, NTSC-J to NTSC-U conversions isn't always smooth) and he tested the game in both Mednafen and SSF, still the same freeze.

His dumped game is also verified at Redump.org

Crc32: b4ad9edd

So what are the odds that both verified games is broken.

Something is causing these freezes in both Mednafen and SSF, but what???

First post here, so hopefully I do this right.

Shining Force III: Scenario 1

There is a graphical glitch that occurs when you go into status and look through your friendship list. Simply scrolling up and down the list causes the names in the list to be jumbled for a split second, then returns to normal once the cursor stops moving.



This does not occur in SSF with either the translated patch applied or not applied. Tested in both 011 alpha R5 and 012 beta R2 and this issue isn't present. Unfortunately, SSF does not render the flutes in the town music properly which is why I am using Mednafen for this game.

I am using the MedLaunch frontend, so I don't know if that would have anything to do with it or not.

I will attach the save folder here.
