Summary MESS-specific 07127: various psu titles: Freezing or crashing
Description After looking at about 1000 “Correct”, “Supported” psx (psu) titles, I find perhaps as many as 7-10% exhibiting various problems (non-playable). The most common issue seems to be hanging, with black screen, just after the Playstation screen, or hanging on the Playstation screen. Examples include:

Black screen hang, after Playstation screen:
criticom, fone99, goldntee, gundbas2, hioctane, itf, jetm2124, luvshack, mlb99, mtvbmx, mtvmusic nbaliv96, nbazon2k, ongaku3, pacapp2, philosom, ppintime, pspikebv, robarena, scs04han, sfa2, skydiving, slots, spaceinv, ss101snt, syphonf3, tonkass, twistmsb, whowant2, xmenma, ydkj

Playstation screen hang:
botm999, dderby, fifa97, ldragoon, nfs

I guess I should mention that the other 3.5-6.5%, or so, of problematic titles observed, also freeze, prior to "Press Start" screen: on title's copyright screen, or on a credits screen, or on "Loading screen", or during demo sequence, etc. Copyright and credits freeze are each about as common as the blank screen, after Playstation screen.

Acknowledged for the time being.
If anyone finds additional titles that do not function, add a note here.
