Hello Tbone, just saw this, yes Chris is the gentleman who actually worked on the unit. We've been exchanging emails back and forth over the past few weeks to see what the problem might be. I've heard a lot of really good things about his services and so I trust that he went through and made sure it was all working. He thinks it is the dock based on some of the graphical issues, according to him he had it tested and working with Y's III. He said he was able to get passed the intro cinematics and play through some of the first part of the game, which has me leaning towards it being a dock problem as well then. Also he mentioned only really seeing the graphics issues related to the dock, just one time he mentioned it was a CD unit. Later today I was planning on burning a CD-R copy of Y's III just to confirm, I suspect that it will lock up like the other games. When I play with the Hu-Cards, they all play perfectly fine through the dock, no corrupted graphics or audio issues. Nuetopia is also able to save, no problem.
