Description

Bizhawk will load the game fine, let you select a track and boat, then start up the track. After a couple seconds on any available track everything just freezes up. This will also happen after the game goes into "attract" mode where it shows boats driving around before pressing start to get to the main menu. I don't think I've gotten more than 10 seconds, usually less than 5 before freezing in the track.
I have tried with a few different computers (all windows 10) multiple versions of Bizhawk, from newest to as old as 1.13, each different video plugin, tried with save pack both enabled and disabled, and tried with expansion slot both enabled and disabled.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the freeze with Hydro Thunder on N64 under Windows 10, then compare the reported BizHawk, video-plugin, save-pack, and expansion-slot configurations. Done means identifying and fixing the freeze and verifying that track and attract modes no longer hang.
