No.02124 Tafoid Administrator Aug 19, 2008, 16:41	Not a Bug. This game requires the -BIOS US command line switch to run correctly. There are a number of STV which react the same way if you feed it a bios for which the game was not intended to run on. So - type "mame diehard -bios us" and the game will start successfully.
