Thanks br0f,

some things you could try:

You could try removing the Psuedo Saturn Kai and loading the game straight from the official Fenrir interface to see if that makes a difference.

If you're using the Fenrir Loader Kai in the Fenrir, you could try reverting to the official Fenrir interface.

V1.001 and V1.000 had known long load times on Fenrir - this was fixed in V1.002. You may need to wait around 2 minutes for the game to load a level on these older versions. You could try loading up V1.001, giving it that 2 minutes to boot and load a level, and seeing if the experience is any different - this may give me some clues on further things I could look into.

Thanks for reaching out br0f. Please forgive the long list of questions 🙏

What model number is your Saturn?

What model number is your Fenrir?

What model memory card are you using in your Fenrir?

What version of Fenrir firmware are you using?

Have you followed any Fenrir troubleshooting guides?

Have you modified the game's files in any way (rename, delete, conversion tool etc). ?

Have you tried redownloading and recopying the game to the Fenrir memory card?

Does your Saturn have any other mods beside the Fenrir?

Do you have any accessories inserted into the cartridge port or expansion port (Pseudo Saturn, Action Replay, 4MB Expansion, Backup Cart, Video CD card etc.)?

Is your Saturn battery healthy?

If you erase your save game from the Saturn system menu (considering you're only on the first checkpoint of the training level) does this fix the issue?

If you load V1.001 or V1.000, and let the Saturn sit for 2 minutes, does the game eventually start?

Do other games work on your Fenrir?

Do the shoulders buttons consistently not work whenever you bootup the game, or did this only happen once?

How many times have you tried booting V1.002 overall?

Thanks Ponut, the maze is quite large, is there a particular wall they are able to shoot through?

Also, how did you get past stage 2 with the white-screen issue you were reporting in your previous post?

Thanks Costenaro. I currently don't have plans to create a demo build of the game. It was something I did consider during development, but in the end I decided it was going to be too complicated.

Thanks for letting me know about this one Ponut. It sounds like the events that fade in the screen and put the player in the boat may not have loaded correctly. Please forgive the list of questions, they will help me try and pinpoint what's going on.

• What model number is you Saturn (eg. HST-xxxx or MX-xxxxx)?

• Are you using an ODE, and if so, what kind?

• Does the issue keep happening even after you hard-reset / power-off-and-on the console?

• When you start the game and select "Continue" from the main menu, where does the game continue from - the first cutscene or the white screen?

• If you select "Stage Select" from the main menu and play "Stage 2", does this fix the issue? 

• If you play "Stage 2" as a different character does this fix the issue?

• If you start a "New Game", quit straight away, go to "Stage Select" and play from "Stage 2", does this fix the issue?
