[PSX][Octoshock+Nymashock][Gex - Enter the Gecko] BizHawk 2.9.1 locks up when attempting to load Gex - Enter the Gecko for PSX for both included cores about bizhawk HOT 6 CLOSED

CNR with 2.9.1 or a3f8015. My .bin and firmware are the same as yours, and I could match your .cue by renaming the file.

Huh, you're right. I downloaded a fresh copy of BizHawk and made a test folder and just put the Firmware there and was able to open it successfully. My apologies there - do you have any suggestions on where I should take troubleshooting or next steps? I understand if this should be closed, but I'd be curious to get to the bottom of this, as other PS1 games work with my configuration, so something else must be off.

Thanks for the verification!

Copy config.ini into the fresh copy and I expect it will stop working there too.

Confirmed crashing with my setups config.ini

I was about to upload my configure but before doing so, I logged out of RetroAchievements to make sure that information didn't get passed through. It seems it's something related with RA, because after signing out - the game loaded and worked as expected.

I went ahead and captured the configuration files if it would be of any help to understand why that's occuring and have uploaded them below for possible future review or comparison.

Note: I redacted my username from both files, and then also my RetroAchievements username & token, but the rest is unmodified.

Only meaningful difference between the two configs is one has RetroAchievements active and the other does not, quite strange. I could guess maybe it's something with the RA specific hashing locking up?

I can't reproduce any issues with RetroAchievements on the latest dev build, although I can on 2.9.1. I'll assume this got fixed at some point after 2.9.1.
