Hmm thats weird the game doesn`t work for me either now, no matter what speedhacks I tick, grey or untick.
The game last worked in playground r441. I just tested it on r449 and it doesn`t work. Completely black screen. I`ll put a issue topic up on the playground site.

r448 breaks my dump (hangs at the intro-movie)
the ones before r448 worked.
is this the same problem you're experiencing?

If thats a black screen then yes. Game completely freezes.

my personal solution to crash is loading state. once i'm in the main menu (whatever setting), i save. When i tweak the setting press f3 then go directly ingame or in the menu. for some reason the boot of the game isn't very reliable. but once you're in you're in.
i have pal version

i checked again unable all speed hack but the first and it should work (ntsc + pal version). once done save with f1 enable the necessary speed hacks and load with f3 before the intro video starts.
i noticed the pal version works better than the ntsc one because it is 50fps at full speed instead of 60 in the ntsc version. thus the ntsc version is far from being playable for me.

Well, I done something more easier. I only went to options of the game,and then set to never show intro movie and saved the game =)
This way it always skip the intro movie. The auto-load need to be activated.

Well the bug wasn`t there before, which is what the point is. Something in r448`s new code broke the movie. Hoping that a fix is released for the game to work again soon or a reverting of the code back to r447.

Very true
. Though I`ve not really been using savestates much due to the no sound issues that were occuring back when I tried it ages ago. That said that issue probably got fixed.
I wonder if the garbage fix will fix the crashing bug. I`ll have to wait till the games properly working again since I dont have a savestate for the game.
