It's a clear and substantial (recent) regression from previous behavior.
As mentioned in both the Rules and Guidelines / Tutorial links above:

"THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY" - Do not submit ANY bugs except heavy regression.

In my opinion, this qualifies as a heavy regression.

Previous behavior shows the game boots normally but having no workable controls and is therefore flagged as such since you cannot really play the game without proper controls.

As I've asked...

the game currently loads one bios rom over the other.

is this the cause? did the old bios rom work, and the new one not? maybe one expects a different drive, or is bad?

The game can load the HDD now. Marked as fixed.
