Game freezing troubles. any ideas?

[_zaphod_]

These three games I've tried are plagued with random freezes

1) MIdway Arcade TReasures 1 (and 2) these both randomly freeze at the selection menu. Once you actually get into a game it's fine, but it will crash if left on the menu too long.

3) Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule MOnster COlluseum. This one is worse than the other two. It randomly freezes during gameplay when ran from the HD. Tested with and without toxic 0.2 core patch, and with and without god of war patch, and with and without modes 1 and 3 and it freezes all the same, with no rhyme or reason on the ps2. I know my ps2 is pre v-9 for sure. ANyone have this thing working with no freezes? ps2hd.co claims all you need is mode 3, but this is not my experience.

Useful detail. WHen the game freezes, the music continues for about 15 SECONDS before stopping. Is this any clue?
