Flashback/REminiscence on the PS2 - uncompletable?

[Obiwanshinobi]

I was playing the homebrew port of Flashback on the PS2. After Death Tower, on Earth, when Conrad passes by the silent policeman who's about to shoot him in the back, when the music should kick in, the screen's getting pitch black, displays a caption "setting _loadMap to true" and freezes like that; nothing else happens. It seems to have nothing to do with the disc.
Now I assume some of you folks can play homebrew stuff on your PS2s. Could you please give this port a go and see if it happens on your machines too? It's the very beginning of the Earth chapter (password "SARLAC" on normal), thus you don't really need to play it up until that point; just enter the password, take a lift down, make the doorkeeper open the door (show him papers), go to the left and the glitch should occur when you're about to leave the screen.
Of course I'm gonna report it to the person responsible for this PS2 port, but it's been 4 years already and there's not even such an issue mentioned in the readme, thus I'd like to make my complaint as substantial as possible, hence the research I'm doing now.
Make sure to specify the model of your console (mine is SCPH-77004). Thanks in advance.
