I've googled this and found numerous variables on the issue and numerous solutions so it's looking like I'm gonna have to start from scratch, I suppose.
I'm using SSF Ver0.12 Beta (it works on Windows XP, yey) I have no BIOS loaded, I'm using VirtualClone Drive to mount and play my games, but if I try to skip the opening cutscene or let it play, it just says at the bottom left hand corner of the screen "Drive door open" so... yeah. Let's... go from there, shall we?
What would be causing this issue for me? :C
