Description
Summary
T'ai Fu on PS1 (both Nyma and Octoshock) loads forever on Start Game, if an ONLY if you watch the opening FMV.

- Press X to start game
- Wait until loading finishes
Output
The game goes black. Nothing happens, but keeps running.
This does not repro in Mednafen. This only happens in EmuHawk. (Tested by EZGames69)
Host env.
- BizHawk 2.91 release , windows

Research direction
Reproduce the PS1 failure in EmuHawk using the listed FMV and Start Game steps, testing both Nyma and Octoshock on BizHawk 2.91 for Windows. Compare the behavior with Mednafen and trace the relevant PS1 loading or FMV path; done means the game starts after watching the opening FMV without regressing the non-FMV path.
