If I avoided that area then the game would continue to play perfectly. Interestingly, when I tried it on an Amiga emulator on the GP2x, years later, exactly the same thing happened! Wonder if it was rubbish coding, or a copy protection bug that the crackers missed? Rubbish coding probably!

Rubbish coding probably, the copy protection was MFM and maybe a copylock, there was no additional ingame protection.
R-Type 2 did need a massive amount of blitter fixes though, wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem.
