I think that either in the v3->v4 update or in the v4->v5 update, having older diffs with updated CHDs caused the emulator to crash while attempting to apply the diff

anyway v4 CHDs for naomi gd-roms turned out to miss some important data, so I suggest to at least throw those away and search for the v5 versions (update v4 to v5 would not work for those, they had to be rebuilt from raw dumps)
