Describe the issue

when i enable vmc on biohazard outbreak (jap.ver) and sword of etheria the loading takes really long and in outbreak the main menu became black with only the game options visible and the transtions really slow and when gameplay starts the screen is black with only sounds working, in swords of etheria the buttons are unresponsive i have to press a button multiple times just to register, and it has long loading when i boot up the game and stutters in fmvs. Both games are completely fine when i disable vmc without long loading and stutters

Console model

SCPH-90004

OPL version / revision

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2068

In which device(s) have you experienced this issue?

MX4SIO

Context and extra information

Both games don’t support memory cards higher than 8. Thats why i need vmc my fmcb is 16mb and i don’t have any other way to save. Both games are unplayable with vmc but what i realized is that they recognize vmc and i can save

Forgot to mention that sword of etheria freezes after the konami logo, but you can fix it by enabling pad emulator and multitap emulation

Still doesn't work

I know some games just don't work or work well with VMC's like God of war, resident evil, burnout 3 and resident evil 4 to name a few others and there are more, in this case I disable VMC for those games. I'm not sure if it's a bug but rather that these games check for a official magic gate memory card. I could be wrong.

Sword of etheria and outbreak detect my vmc and i can save the problem is that they aren't playable

Tekken Tag Tournament does this too, starts hanging and comes to a complete freeze around stage 4 when playing arcade with VMC enabled. If disabled it runs just fine. temp work around if this can't be fixed is to get a official Sony 8mb memory card and do a fresh installation of FMCB on it, Magic Gate cards do have better compatibility with games that I think VMC can't replicate.
