Looks like this is only working for me with characters that have a _m in their title.
I can swap ryo with nozomi, NZM_m, and guizhang, KIS_m
BUT
when swapping with someone like Tom, AME_L, it freezes
so setting ykb_m to AME_m and ykb_f to AME_f just freezes
replacing both to just AME_L freezes too.
I did this on dobuita in the shenmue beta cdi version.
Is there more to this?
