Strider 2 is on the ZN2 (PlayStation-in-a-cabinet) platform, can't really think what would be an issue for it aside from the QSound emulation (almost all games in the driver are marked as imperfect sound except NBA Jam Extreme). Unfortunately the zn.cpp documentation doesn't mention a single thing about why Strider 2 is MNW aside from showing a small comment "random hangs / crashes" after the game title.
