Your video looks normal to me. They all seem to play about the same for me on a real CD, PSIO, and X-Station.

This is from a real CD.

I appreciate the video, insightful. My last question is why is there a blue bar at the startup screen. I've played it before without the bar?

[whitezombie]

I don't know what blue bar you are referring to? What is the timestamp? Are you referring to the static garbage below the Sony Computer Entertainment Screen? That's normal. It does that on real hardware and emulators. That's the overscan area that we didn't see in 1997 on a tube TV. Lazy developers never cleaned that up because it was never meant to be seen. It happens on a lot of games from that era.

Yeah the same one. Well I'm confident the game is running fine. Appreciate the help good day.

[whitezombie]

No worries and glad I could assist you.

The "hiccups" during gameplay happen even from the CD-ROM, but they are about 2 frames longer on PSIO, which was recently confirmed by Matt himself when he did actual video capture. This might get fixed as they optimize PSIO's code.

I hope this exhausted the topic.

Glad Matt was able to confirm it. I personally can't see any difference with the naked eye.

As you can see, PSIO lags about 2 frames behind the CD-ROM.

Just to let you know about the fastboot. My Japanese console can indeed fastboot when the console starts. The issue was really coming from the aftermarket power supply unit. They won't allow your console to fastboot but after the first power on it works with resets.
