Analog resetting in Twisted Metal Small Brawl

[ice445]

"Twisted Metal: Small Brawl SCUS-94642" has an interesting issue where every time the game loads into a level or back to the main menu, the analog function turns off. You can re-enable it, but it will keep doing this every level. I don't remember the normal version of the game doing this. The game plays 100% fine and rumble is working. I tested a PsOne controller and a PS2 controller, they both do it. No other game that I own does this. I can't be 100% sure but it seems to be doing this when the CD is accessed. The game is small and the laser doesn't have to seek much, so it's hard to tell because its fairly quiet.
Console: SCPH-7501
TonyHax Version: 1.5.8 (installed on PS2 using MCA)
I'm actually using high quality TDK CD-R74 from 1997, not the Ritek fake ones. The burn seems fine, loads are fast and the game plays 100% besides this issue.

I noticed on the boot up screen for this game the SCUS has a period in it, and then it throws an error for "Executable won't fit". I don't know if that's related but I haven't seen any other game do that.

"Executable won't fit" isn't an error, it's just information.

Does this occur with the original Tonyhax or UniROM?
Is the FreePSXBoot memory card removed before loading the game in Tonyhax International?
