It is not region specific, but the Go does have a special version of POPS that allows for pausing, as well as analog control with a connected DualShock 3 controller. Maybe some other stuff, too.

@bucanero Currently, this disc swap functionality has only been tested with swap and reset method as that was the only function ever released officially. However, this should *hopefully* be possible with an added “00” byte at the end of the config to enable hot-swapping functionality, as in...
Updated the incorrect ELF ID.
This is specifically for encrypted games ran from the game folder, not for ISOs ran on WebMAN MOD. It will not work for anything over than that.
Whether it is set with disc_num = 1 or it is skipped, the result will be the same encryption either way. Encryption only differs on discs greater than 1.
Correct, DISC.IDX is simply a blank, 2 byte file that is updated when discs change. If you switch from disc 1 to disc 2 and exit, the game will then start at disc 2 when you relaunch the game.
DISC.IDX is also not technically required, but without it the game will always start on disc 1.
Multi-disc functionality with ps2_netemu has finally been reversed! Custom multi-disc packages are now possible. For now, additional discs and configs need to be manually encrypted with this custom ps2classic executable. All credits go to kozarovv for reversing, and this write up.
I have tested...
Hmm, not too sure what could be the issue. Sounds like it may be a separate issue as the NTSC version does not have any problem at that point in the game.
If possible, can you post a screenshot or video of the issue?
CONFIG DUMP
All configs by kozarovv:
R-Racing Evolution (fixes all car SPS issues, may still have slowdown issues)
Backyard Wrestling, Backyard Wrestling 2, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (fixes flashing textures due to incorrect VIF1 MSCNT timing)
Maken Shao (fixes SPS from left hand side of...
The emulator used with POP-FE is ps1_netemu unless you check the ps1_newemu checkbox. The freezing sounds like it could be a Cobra issue when running as BIN/CUE, and that is why PKG is not affected.
Here is a new gxemu mod by kozarovv that adds command 0x2C, a backport of command 0x0A from netemu.
