Finally!!! This is the first time any Konami Python 1 arcade title has ever been emulated! This is technically "in game", however PCSX2 hard crashes after this step so still lots of work ahead. Nice to see some progress after entering the FireWire torment nexus

Realizing I didn’t post this here. Finally put together my “ideal” original Xbox a few months ago. I wanted the best of both worlds as far as looks and reliability, so this is an extremely late model 1.6, transplanted into a JP Skeleton shell, along with the @makemhz.com Stellar HD+.
