Area 51 Site 4

Does Area 51 site 4 freeze after the bios loads for anyone else in MAME 0.147u1?

It doesn't freeze MAME itself, the emulation just stops at waiting for HDD.....
I guess it's marked NOT WORKING for a reason and it works as it's intended right now.

Froze is froze, I just checked it because I saw a recent cleanup of the driver and was wondering if it added the speedup to the alt ver..
Obviously you have never tried loading it up in MAME or you wouldn't have spoken.

I ran this game before I replied to your post with self compiled 0.147u1. The emulation stops but MAME is responsive and doesn't crash or hang, so nothing is wrong.
The driver status is preliminary and you should learn to read the start-up screens because they are there for a reason.

It "hangs", as it the speed stays consistent rather than dropping for a bit before detecting and printing the HD Loader version.
As near as I can tell in my testing, the fix that might have regressed the detection was, ironically, a bugfix for another game in the driver which was going to a black screen after eeprom initialization (a working game, fishfren). Until both can be happy, this looks like the short end of the stick.
