Thank you so much for your help, Lexxx - I owe you. :-) However, I had no joy from that patch. :-/ First, I patched the CDI file, a fresh copy, checked it, converted it to a nero image, and burnt it. The result was a CD that went straight through the the dreamcast menu, as expected, and if you selected "Play", made the screen go black, and then rebooted.
I am told this is a symptom of the "PAL Protection", so I fired up PAL Patcher and scanned the CDI, finding PAL Protection types II and III. I patched both, but left the Hz settings untouched.
This CD booted, but still had the same problem - three images being crammed on the screen vertically - very unfortunate! :-/ All the same, I thank you for trying.
Do you think I will have these sorts of troubles trying to play other games? Just to be on the safe side, I ordered a copy of Dead Or Alive 2 from Ebay today, so hopefully I'll have something to play while I learn about patching. ;-)
I have plenty of CDR left if anyone else would like to suggest an experiment. :-) Perhaps in time I should try and write a SH commenting dissassembler.
If anyone can answer: I have heard there were CD's for playing Imported games available in the US. Did such CD's exist for Pacific / Europe PAL machines? If so, what were they called? Perhaps they are my best bet.
