I have now tried three different copies of Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean in my Saturn - two copies of the USA version, and one of the Japanese version - and all three freeze at the exact same spot, when Belnard hits Pike with that explosive spell in Gigarl. My Saturn has never had any other problems in all the years I've owned it, so I'm hardly going to risk laying down a wad of cash for a new Saturn only to find out that the discs freeze at the exact same spot in that machine too.
That leaves one reasonable option: playing through that segment of the game using an emulator. So I download SSF, pop Albert Odyssey into my CD drive, start the emulator, and what do I get?
A black screen with a little message in the bottom of the window frame saying "Disk Drive Open". This happens with both the USA and Japanese copies of the game. I also tried Galactic Attack and Pandemonium!; Pandemonium! plays just fine, but with the other three all I get is "Disk Drive Open".
I search for help on this problem online, and all I can find is a forum topic where the consensus is that the only possible causes for this problem are because the ISOs are bad or SSF isn't pointed towards the Virtual Drive. Well, isn't that funny - because I'm using only original copies of the games, and I have this problem!
Help?
I should note that I haven't downloaded any Bios for SSF, because I was told that doing so was completely unnecessary. Was the guy who told me this dead wrong?
