Yep Pro Gear, mine will do similar things... I posted a long time ago about some carts not being compatible with each other... most notable is Cross Swords and Nam. If you put them both in a multislot one or the other will show up but not both. Put them in with other games and they work fine. Also, the sound issues you have seen, I get those only on my 4 slot... I bet it has something to do with swapping games because it never happened on my older two slot board. To tell you the truth a lot can be happening. Overtime, if a game was not coded right, garbage could be written to the registers. And if it didn't handle multislots, it may never get initialized fully until you shut off the machine... I belive PI2 is a culprit of that. By itself no problems, but with other games and the attract sounds on it bombs out the sound driver. Oh well,
