Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour on the game "Madden NFL 97" by EA Sports.

After extracting and installing the game I tried to launch it both with DOSBOX v.0.74-3 on Debian LINUX (bullseye 11.2) and with DOSBOX v.0.74-3 on Microsoft WIndows 10 Home Edition.
The game starts correctly in both the cases, but it always freezes after the "coin toss" only on Linux system, on Windows it is playable without any problem.
I used in both the cases the standard configuration (dosbox-0.74-3.conf) in my home directory with imgmount of both the cds of the game.

What can I do to provide some logs to analyze this behaviuor?

Thank you
Luke from Italy

It freezes every time after the coin toss, just before the teams enter on the pitch and only on Linux System.
I tried on two different Linux PC (Debian Bullseye in both) and both have this issue. I tried also previous Dosbox version (0.74) but the result is the same.
On Windows Systems all works well.
