The problem is due to a bug in the Yaroze memory card libraries, and I don't know why HOVER encounters it and other games don't. It is unrelated to the serial connection speed (I've got a stinky old mac that can only manage 56K). There's a patch (PAT0319) which can be downloaded from the SCEI site which patches the directory of the memory card (I believe) and allows Hover to run. Unfortunately, the CARD_FIX.BAT file has the following line: load -npat0319 which PSComUtil doesn't like. Just loading pat0319 manually and running it doesn't work. - nick
