Research direction

Reproduce the crash by loading Battle Arena Toshinden 3 (USA) (En,Ja).cue with BizHawk 2.9.1 and the default Nymashock settings, then compare behavior with BizHawk 2.8 and the Octoshock workaround. Focus on the Sony logo animation around two seconds after startup; done means the game no longer crashes under Nymashock.
