This is for Crash Bandicoot "Wrath of Cortex".

Ok, figured out what going on (a little). If you use panic handlers you see that there's a Fifo message coming up (see attachement). If you select Yes at these messages, you can continue fine - but they come up all the time now. This didn't use to be the case as playing with handlers off before was fine (albiet slow with looping audio). Not sure when behavior changed with this but within the last 50 versions maybe?

Hopefully the messages can be auto dismissed or have it use "yes" - maybe it's set to "no" with handlers off? Or maybe the issue itself needs to be resolved - is this more of Ayanx's fifo breaking work??

Go ahead and close this since this isn't a problem anymore. The game can still be unstable but issue 2982 handles that.

Thanks!

Ok, sorry scratch that. The Fifo message can still be triggered, even using the special build with Dok's Fifo patch from the forums.
