My copy boots up, puts on a VMU logo, and then hangs. Do I have a mis-pressed CD?

Probably not. This is generally caused by an incompatibility with a third party peripheral plugged into the DC’s controller ports. One common culprit seems to be old-version GameShark dongle/memory cards (the big black one they tell you to put into slot 2). Newer version GS dongles (3.3) have been tested to work fine with FoF. Reports have said that even some official DC software (like Ooga Booga) has trouble with these peripherals. Another common question regarding mis-pressed CDs (they are pressed and not burned) is that some copies have a small bubble towards the outer rim of the disc, on the bottom side. This bubble is not located over any data on the CD and does not cause any problems with its operation.
