The answer remains: almost certainly no. Blue PlayStations don't
require specially-mastered CDs, while Yarozes do. So you can't play a
gold disk on a Yaroze.

Yarozes *will* support games from any territory, just so long as it's
a proper CD - not one produced by a developer, basically, like this
one you've got. I decided to check that this weekend and tried the
office's old promotional copy of Tosh (described on the cover with the
memorable wording: "Waw?! And now, what's this?! Toh Shin Den is about
to present to you a super hot virtual battle, like one that you've
never seen before, at a rate of 90,000 polygons per second!"). And
although it's monochrome on my television, it certainly boots. Would
that it didn't ;=)

However, while that bit was reasonably funny, I must observer that the
question isn't really relevant to Yaroze development, so I think you
should just accept that you aren't ever going to get this working on
your Yaroze.
