Description
Entering any level in Sonic 3 Delta from Genesis Plus GX will cause the game to freeze upon loading, why does this happen? I don't know. Through modifying gamedb files, I found out that this does not happen in PicoDrive core (32X).
This means that there must be an option to switch cores between Genesis Plus GX and PicoDrive core.
So, right now, the only way to play Sonic 3 Delta properly is to remove the gamdb entry and play it on PicoDrive instead.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the freeze when loading any Sonic 3 Delta level in Genesis Plus GX, compare behavior with the PicoDrive core, and trace how the gamedb entry selects a core; done means the game can use PicoDrive without manually removing the gamedb entry.
