cdstrap makes a copy of NVRAM to RAM to check a reserved area for settings such as Language, and perhaps audio CD player settings,
but that can be erased/reset in the language selection screen and game save editor without the need for a CD in the drive if it happens to be corrupt,
and it doesn’t explain most CDs booting ok.
Does it look like the CD has spun up properly before the fanfare animation starts?
That shouldn’t happen if it has already found an audio, CD32, or CDTV disc.
