Issues with FZ-EM256 Memory Unit?

[the0remora]

I am using the Internal ODE with the FZ-EM256 Memory Unit. When I try to boot my Japanese FZ-1 with it plugged in boots into the Fixel Launcher (background and white borders) but displays no text.

I am booting from an exfat formated SSD.

I have not tried cleaning the Expansion port or connector yet. They look to be in good shape.

At the suggestion of Ray01 on the 3DO Discord I tested with an SD card and the SSD disconnected with the same result.

Below are pictures showing the 3DO booted up both with the Memory Unit connected and disconnected.

Issue is known and is fixed in the next menu release.
