I have some games downloaded to a flash drive but when i try loading Turrican after the first stage loads it just stops. I see only the background of the level but there's no character or music. I can get past the title screen and then it's like the game is froze or something. No buttons i press do anything. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I googled this issue and I'm getting nothing about it.

@Zeldafan79 You might have more luck if you were to ask on a dedicated C64 forum, such as Lemon64, as there will be comparatively few people on here who have one.

A possibility that springs to mind is that you might be trying to run a European version of a game on North American hardware or vice versa. There's no region locking as such, but timing differences can cause games to crash.

I recall Turrican used some pretty hot coding, so it's probably more susceptible to problems than earlier games which will mostly still work after a fashion.
