Some remarks:
It does not seem to be a memory problem.
It does not seem to be a problem with the media (SD/USB) although it seems to be somewhat better on SD.
The Japan version boots almost every time.
The No Warn version boots most of the time.
The Arrange and International version boot more infrequently with the International version being the most difficult.
When switching between the different mras the remnants of the previous mra are still on the screen and are not static: engines still running, fire ball still whirling, ..., even after a cold boot using MISTer button.

Have you waited enough for the core to boot? Some times it takes a good 10-15 seconds. Try the Japanese rom first. Also try cold restarting the MiSTer, then launch again.
@nullobject is aware of the issues and is working to resolve them.

Heads up! This important update to the framework by Sorg today, reportedly* fixes the problem as well with the CV 68K core not booting (issues were apparently related).

*I say reportedly because I haven't experienced such a problem myself since beta 5 of the Cave core, although I did often get the 'garbled screen' one that Sorge describes, requiring a hard reset each time.

If you are having trouble booting the core, please try the latest (unreleased) version.

Make sure you update the main menu core also.

And if you can please you let me know in the GitHub issue if it works/doesn't work for you: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade- ... /issues/18

Aspie wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 1:26 am Well I have sussed out the problem. It's nothing to do with the core, it's the PS3 joypad. The left hand joystick when it is pushed in is pausing the game. I am not intentionally pressing it in but because of frantic movements it is registering. I need to find a way of deactivating that button.

Aspie wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 9:19 am I guess I could but I never assigned pause to that button in the first place

Aspie wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 10:51 am Thanks XtraSmiley. When I initially setup the PS3 joystick it never asks to assign a pause. It assigns left, right, up, down, then the 4 buttons, then left trigger right trigger, select and start, menu, menu select and menu back. Do you mean after I have done this I should then reassign the joystick press to some obscure key I don't use on say my keyboard?
