  2. Choose Opera or Neo CD Core
  3. Choose the CD/DVD drive

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on Windows with a real 3DO or Neo Geo CD, using the Opera or Neo CD core and selecting the CD/DVD drive. Trace the failure from that reproduction; done means both cores begin reading the discs without crashing, with behavior comparable to the other listed CD-based cores.
