Strange behaviour of Soul Calibur...

[Azuriel]

HI there, sorry for my absence. First of all, my US release is something called simply Soul_Calibur.rar, an archive of 607 megs containing an image called Soul_Calibur.cdi of 806.674.280 bytes. It's NTSC because there's no 50hz/60hz selector at the start of the game. The strange behaviour with the intro is something showing up from a just burned image, so I don't believe it's something related with the wearing of the game... however, I'm searching too for an original copy of the game.
About the release you got, Megalexxx, I know about it. There's a patch to fix the skipping audio in the US release which consists in removing all the R (or L) music files and making the game point to the same music files to remove the skipping (basically, you monoize the audio!!), then adding a dummy file. It would be interesting to see if the game follows the iter described by roBx^: if not, then I could follow the patching procedure and see what comes out...
