I'm still curious as to what is causing it. When I get home from school, I'm going to send the roms to Steve Snake to see if he can figure out what's wrong with them. 

I still can't help but think it might be a problem similar to the one that the earlier Chaotix protos had. You know the one where the emulators are reading the checksums incorrectly. However, the only problem with this theory is that Its a Genesis prototype and it really shouldn't be as complex to run on an emulator as a 32X prototype would be. 

Maybe we should request that drx redump all of the betas if that is possible. (I think all of the February 2008 protos were on discs rather than carts weren't they?)
