Christmas Flame Demo by Halley's Comet Software (PD) - 1B6281035B6C4CBA78FADFECC0ACFBEAEA73F879

This homebrew hangs at the intro.

Tested on the latest version of Gadolinium on Windows 10.

Interestingly, I think many of these "(PD)" (which I don't know what it means) titles crash or hang on a black screen

PD here stands for "public domain". They are mostly homebrew and demoscene releases, so they are usually a good test of basic functionality, and occasionally they do clever tricks and can test certain edge cases in emulation.

EDIT: They also sometimes don't have set data in the header/ROM, so can be a good test of how an emulator handles unknown data.

Also, worth noting is that I'm only opening issues for the ones that don't boot or don't function properly, most of them run perfectly well at first boot 😄

Works on latest dev.
