Can confirm that.

Finally updated my board and yes, it doesn't work. I'll look into it.

I had similar results, the loading bar (white line) wouldn't finish. R44, all files in same SD folder.

Should be working with R44 now - also on real hardware. I tested it on my dev board .

Used the oportunity to improve some of the sound effects (explosions).

Have fun!

On R44 hardware:

Mouse support somewhat-worked in the emulator, but not on the H/W (emulator console shows a warning about writing to YM?). Map wouldn't load when mouse option was chosen.

Gamepad very playable in joystick/gamepad mode. Except, game didn't transition to the next level after finishing map using gamepad.

Fixed a bug when using game pad on R44 and dev board hardware.
