Description
I checked the CRC of my zip rom as described in d_neogeo.cpp at line 9918.
I used hashmyfiles to calculate the CRCs of the files in a folder (here, the unziped rom).
All files have correct CRCs, names and extensions.
Still, the game doesn't start (other games such as Viewpoint, Double Dragon and Andro Dunos work).

Research direction
Start with d_neogeo.cpp at line 9918 and reproduce the failure using the CRC-verified Pulstar ROM described in the report. Compare its startup path with the working Viewpoint, Double Dragon, and Andro Dunos games; done means Pulstar starts successfully without regressing those games.
