Problems with Skies of Arcadia, Please read.

Okay, I got the exhelon version of the game, applied the patch to both CDs and tried to run the game.
And I'm experiencing tons of bugs, Here are some of them:

1) Sometimes when I lose and quit (game over), When I try to start a new game (Is it possible to save your progress? ), The scene where the first fight with the pirates begins, and the game goes game over without even letting me touch a button....

2) Sometimes the game crashes after I close the inventory (I know it's common, But wasn't it supposed to be fixed?), happens rarely.

3) Sometimes the text messes up, I know you can fix this with ALT+ENTER, But still annoying.

4) Inventory screen is messed up (It has these weird shadows).

5) I can't see the XP and gold text on the status after battle, using ZWrite fixes it, But messes up the inventory screen even more and the game looks horrible.

Are these common problems? Are they going to be fixed in the next chankast release? If yes, I'm going to sit down and play some Sonic Adventure, If no, Please tell me what to do! THANKS!

NOTE: Chankast is great! I never thought Dreamcast games would be emulated that great... I'm Getting super graphics and performance from every game except SoA . Thank you chankast creators!

it sucks, i get most of those problems too, but the only thing that stops me from playing through it again is the terrible music. god knows why other games get perfect sound emulation for me but the only one i actually want to hear the sound on, has messed up sound. i wonder if any of these problems will be fixed? or even if there will be a new chakast or not, i just dont know.

Who knows. Look on the bright side. Most other echelon rips won't even boot.
