I've been looking around the repair forum for answers and could use some help on this one
Recently I purchased Hana Taka Daka and once it arrived, put it in my white pce cdrom2 setup and it worked fine. I shut it off and came back to it a few hours later, but it wasn't working the same. I noticed that if I watched the demo, the screen froze and it would not respond to a soft-reset. I manually restarted the console, and now the game freezes right as the first level is starting.
My first reaction was to clean the game's contacts with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Didn't change anything.
Then I pulled out my US Duo w/ Kisado converter...and the game works fine! weird...
The PCE was region modded with a switch a few years back, and I wonder if that has something to do with it. I found this old post, which indicates that pce mods might cause some games to crash:

I've had trouble using a Neo Flash on this system in the past as well. I also noticed recently that my jpn 3.0 card crashes before a game can load too. I didn't really pay attention to that b/c my arcade card pro works. I have about 50+ hus, and have tried quite a few tonight, which all seem to be working fine.
Also... since I had my kisado out, i switched the PCE to USA mode, stuck Hana Taka Daka in the kisado...but the game won't load at all, just a blank screen. All of my other jhus will work using this method.
any input is greatly appreciated. please don't tell me the hu is dead
