It seems that RS has problems in deciphering the encrypted blocks of several games with the Alkatraz loading scheme. X128 and R80 work fine however, so I suggest that you should try these emulators. -

I always use [I]Taper[/I] to put infinite pauses between multi-load blocks and to merge "side 1" and "side 2" files into a single one. Perhaps this will raise the hair of the philologists among us, but I prefer this for the sake of user-friendliness. -
