Hello, I'm having trouble playing a particular game: kohitsuji hokaku keikaku
I'm loading the rom from a full CDVD startup, and get the bios load (sony computer entertainment, playstation 2 logos) but just a black screen after that.

The game doesn't seem to be in the compatibilty list.
I'm able to player other games using the same bios (japan region).

I've tried resetting to default settings. Here's the emulator and system info:
Code:

Is there anything else I can do to debug this problem?
the same log after you tried to start the game would be a better idea.
Two files are attached. log1 is from a game that works and log2 is from the game I'm having trouble with. I tried visually comparing them but don't see any obvious differences that provide a clue about my issue.
do you have another PS2 console ?
No, would having a second one help? I might be able to borrow one from a friend.
Then you're screwed. That one you own is known to cause problems with the emu
Sorry for you
I lent the disk to a friend to test it, and he got the same issue on his computer, using a US bios.
Your friend should post about his issue so that we could help him
