Yes it works fine on my NTSC/U Dreamcast.

It does fail on my PAL/E Dreamcast though.

Now iīve it tried myself with VGA-Connection on a PAL-DC. It donīt work! The game crashed in the menu after pressing the Start-Button.
Megalexxx PAL Patcher 2.0a show two "50hz code found" reports.
The code was found in 1ST_READ.BIN and in NK.BIN. On other forums guys have posted they patched the cdi with PAL Patcher without success. There is yet another executable file called BOWLING.EXE in the cdi. Perhaps in this file are the reason about crashing from PBA on PAL-DC.

Yes, there's something else to patch in Bowling.exe.
This is the hard thing...

I've had a look already.
It will take a lot of time, and I don't think I can do it...

It's an early build and I hear it runs pretty slowly.

Yeah it does, the graphics and gameplay are crap and slow and the loading times are very slow too due to the game having nearly 4000 files...

Did you guys extract the ip.bin to see which regions are checked off? That might be the problem.

I did.
1st_read.bin runs fine, but there's something bad in the exe file.
