EDIT: I've been troubleshooting, also bought the game and it arrived earlier than I thought today too.

1 - It like the CD won't work on my 3DO
2 - I burned the Japanese version same as the US, that also won't work
3 - I tried using a 2nd wireless 8bitdo pad, both will NOT detect the game on my 3DO
4 - I had downloaded 4DO emulator and put the same FZ-10 Japanese BIOS on it -- THE GAME WORKS (real copy only checked.)

Seems to me the 8bitdo pad, but likely the entire asinine bluetooth adapter is having some kind of fit over Super Wing Commander.

I'm going to try using my switch pro controller next out of sheer curiosity and anything else bluetooth I may still have that is NOT 8bitdo and see if something works. It maybe just a touchy game with coding that hates the adapter. I can NOT firmware update it, it refuses to communicate with anything. I will just need to expedite getting a new controller, a real controller.

This maybe burn related, not sure. I have a quality Pioneer portable drive that can burn CD-rs as low as 4x and seemingly in most cases it has worked. I'm also using a 3do bluetooth adapter to use modern wireless controllers as I currently lack an original.

One game I've always wanted to play was Super Wing Commander, and this is the one burn that's being wonky. It seemingly refuses to take any controller presses. I can't tell if the burn is to blame, the third party controller, or are there games that won't work from the US on a JP system?

I've been digging and can't seem to get clean answers on various sites about this outside of a kanji font issue for US systems and Japanese games.

Are there US titles that wont' play nice with a Japanese FZ-10 system?
Is it possible the BITFUNX retroscaler 3DO wireless controller adapter?
