Description

So far, Bomberman Hero has a problem where if "Load State Automatically" is enabled, the game will get stuck on a still image wherever I last save stated and I have no idea why. This didn't happen with other N64 games, AFAIK. If the option is disabled and I "load state" up booting up the ROM, the game loads the state without any issues.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Bomberman Hero using "Load State Automatically" and compare it with manually loading the same save state after boot. Trace the automatic state-loading path and verify that the game no longer freezes on a still image while audio continues playing.
