		Not if he's using a MD2. Probably a bad or dirty cart. My guess would be it's trying to play the 'off-road driving' sound and is not able to. I've heard a lot of reports of flaky VR carts, so it wouldn't surprise me if the cart was bad. edit - oh wait, I didn't see keropi's other post. Hmm, that's interesting, I didn't know they made any 'incompatible' megadrives. What country is the unit from?

		its a pal mdII, for the uk market ... model is MK-1631-50 ... it only has one large chip, and 2 smaller ones, which are propably ram chips... one is 100% ram... vr only crashes when going offroad, and its a very used cartridge... got it off ebay

		I think you got one of those late MDIIs that are based on the Megadrive 3 chipset. Not 100% sure though. Could you take a picture of the PCB?
