Description of the Issue
Hello all,
I wanted to try to formally report this issue as well as my troubleshooting regarding it in hopes of either better understanding it, or identifying a possible issue to get a resolution pushed to upstream. I documented and asked about this issue on the libretro Discord server, and my posts can be referenced here:

To summarize and make this convenient, I'll copy paste the results here below:
Hey everyone! :slight_smile:
I've been trying to load MSR - Metropolis Street Racer (USA) (Rev A) through RetroArch's Flycast core to no avail. It's very strange, a dozen or so other DreamCast games I've played work without issue.
I've tried to load the game both with and without the HLE bios, and I do have a DC bios with proper MD5 in the system/dc folder present and can confirm that it loads the BIOS.
I've found similar issues on GitHub around this issue but mostly they mention trying the real DC bios, which I am - but it doesn't seem to make a difference here.
libretro/flycast#838
libretro/flycast#63
Has anyone else had any luck loading this game under any circumstances? I'd be very curious to know what's different here.
I've also tried the following formats: Redump bin/cue, CHD, gdi, and cdi - all with the same issues.
I just wanted to follow up on this and say that I tried the following older LibRetro Flycast Cores, and found one that worked!
Pre-packaged flycast_libretro.dll included with RetroArch downloads - Test
1.14.0 - Did not work
1.13.0 - Worked
I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be more formally reported or documented somewhere.

Screenshots
Working cores / configurations are able to make it to this screen, problem cores crash before this loads - just as some others have described in some of the other linked issues.
The Flycast libretro core isn't supported on xbox/uwp. See #865 for details.
Standalone Flycast works fine.
Hmm I see, is there any where else I should report this issue to? Standalone Flycast works, but I don't believe it has RetroAchievement support which is something I'm looking for.
It should also be noted that many other games I do have work just fine in my library, this one is a bit of an outlier, and it does work just fine when using Flycast Libretro core version pre-packaged with 1.13.0.
RetroAchievements is now available in standalone Flycast
