What is the behaviour you observe?

When booting the game, it will crash to a black screen after the SEGA logo.

What is the behaviour you expect?

Same disc images boot fine in Satiator Rings v5.5 paired with firmware v160.

I was able to reproduce this issue with the US version; I did not test the other region versions. I have a SHA1 match with the above.

One thing I did notice is that if you reset the system (i.e. press the reset button on the console) after the SEGA logos transitions to a black screen, the game will boot and seems to play perfectly fine.
