Anyways, earlier today I got a copy of Puyo Puyo 4 for the DC which I ordered in the mail. The game is Japanese, and my DC is US, so I use the Utopia boot disc (v 1.3) to play imports on it. In any event, I used the boot disc on the DC as usual, and afterward put in the game disc, and the opening screens ("Sega Presents" and "in association with Compile," something like that) pop up, and then...
...nothing. After those intro screens come up, the screen goes black and will not progress any further. I tried it several times and the same thing happened; I also unhooked my usual RGB cable and tried the "regular" a/v cables instead (since Giga Wing once gave me trouble because of that) and this didn't help either.
The disc is scratchless, so I'm sure that it isn't the cause; in fact, the game successfully auto-saved a data slot onto my memory card the first time I tried to start it up, so I'm pretty much certain that the game itself isn't the problem. Also, just to be sure, I tried using the boot disc with my copy of Ikaruga afterwards, and it plays fine just as it always had.
I'm not sure what the problem here might be...anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
