Summary	04908: pce, tg16: MESS does not load some USA based games for PCE
Description	When attempting to load: Final Lap Twin (USA) Neutopia (USA) Neutopia II (USA) (Possibly others, but I have found these 3 in particular) MESS just sits with a black screen. I remember this being an issue with earlier PCE emulators, and you had to set the emulator to a Japanese system or vice versa. It seems to be a region lock out issue because the Japanese versions of these games run just fine.
Steps To Reproduce	Simply load the USA versions of any of these games: Final Lap Twin (USA) Neutopia (USA) Neutopia II (USA) in MESS and MESS will load the roms and a black screen will appear and never go away.
Additional Information	Once again, I believe this is a region lock issue, I recall it happening in early versions of Magic Engine and having to set a particular option to load them. I'm sure its an easy fix but is being overlooked.

If you're loading a USA game on a PC Engine (which is the Japanese model,) then the region lockout is working as it is supposed to. Same with the opposite case (trying to load a region locked game on a US TG16.) Please clarify if this is what you mean, because if so, then it's working as intended and this report will be closed.
