Generally I'm not one to validate trolls' claims, but I tell the
truth in that my copy of Rogue Leader has locked up the last time I
played it. I completed the first mission (the Death Star mission), and
it showed the ships flying away from the Death Star, the Death Star
blowing up, and then blackness. I couldn't see anything, and nothing
happened. The black screen just stayed there for 2-3 minutes until I
reset the system. I then beat that mission again, and this time I got
the Mission Complete screen as I should have in the first place.
Anybody else here have their copy lock up in this situation?

Something I just noticed a few minutes ago, during the death star attack and
razors revenge ( level 4 ) i noticed extremely heavy slowdown when ties were
approaching, very slow......it never happened until tonight.....i thought my
cube was frying or something..

Just a thought - but on this locking up business, is your Cube modded to
play Jap/US games?

I have a US cube which has not been modded, so it will only play US games.
I've never had it crash on me.
A friend has had his modded, and he does get crashes in RL, although he
cannot say if he had them before, as it's a Jap machine, and a US game.

I cannot see why the mod would, or indeed COULD affect the running of the
game, as it is a re-route of a signal, and not a modification of it.

I had Bespin lock up on me once after I finally beat the level. It only
happened once, and there's been no other problems since. I haven't even had
the Hoth bug. I think maybe some copies of Rogue Leader have to freeze up
at least once, just to get it out of the way, then they play perfectly.

From the many reports like yours I've seen so far, I think this might be a
defective copy. You should exchange it if you can.

I've had 2 so far. A lockup which has been well publicised on the Hoth
level, and after I toasted the 2nd death star, the demo took a minute or 2
to appear the first time I did it.

I've had mine slow down on, arrggghh, Endurance. After 3 hours of playing,
I hoped to see a medal pop up, and bam. Black screen of Death. I refused
to reset it, just in case it needed some time to tally up the scores. So, I
went to sleep, woke up then ext morning, and almost cried when the black
screen of death was there :).

Sadly, I've had to replay Endurance 3 times to get it right, but thankfully,
none of the times ever froze up again. And nope, my Gamecube is not
moded.

Seems like if you drop a lot of bombs and fly through the
flames you get a lot of slowdown. It happens to me everytime i crack
open the star destroyer on kothlis.
