Xenon 2: Megablast [CDTV] - Issue with not loading on launch, works after a reset..
Hi Toni,
For some reason, when I start Xenon 2: Megablast [CDTV], it always fails to load the first time... I then reset and all good The image is a .BIN & .CUE file i.e. "Xenon 2 - Megablast (1992)(Mirrorsoft)(M5)[CDTV-CD32]". Nothing "exotic" about my configuration file and the same thing happens when using "Quickstart CDTV". I wonder what's going on? Logs are attached. Last edited by DamienD; 23 August 2019 at 19:21. |

Oh no, it seems to be another one of those games like Murder Makes Strange Deadfollows CDTV that requires "NTSC" to be set
If I do this then the game starts first time, every time. I have no idea why this would be though, considering it's an "M5" image? Last edited by DamienD; 22 August 2019 at 22:28. |

It should boot normally in PAL if CD is inserted after CDTV title screen is visible. (For some reason system has slightly more free RAM/less fragmented RAM if booted this way..)
EDIT: cdimage0=<path>,delay can be used in config file to force 3s CD insert delay. (This is not the only CDTV/CD32 game that needs it..) Last edited by Toni Wilen; 23 August 2019 at 08:16. |

Many thanks Toni, I'll try adding a 3 second delay to that line and test when home tonight

Using ",delay" at the end of the "cdimage0=<path>" line works perfectly, many thanks Toni
