Here are some technical details about things that need to be fixed or
added to Genesis Plus.
Missing features:
- Support for 6-button controllers
- SRAM management
- Game Genie / PAR patch codes
The VDP code could use a lot of cleaning up.
The rendering code is missing a few bits:
- Sprite collision
- Window bug
I think the "C" 68000 emulator either has some bugs or I'm not using it
correctly. Older DOS-only versions used Turbo68K, which had ran games
much better, especially with regards to interrupt handling.
Things that need to be fixed:
- Raster garbage on third road in Thunder Blade.
- Added country codes for Dragon Slayer, but game locks up after
passing country check.
- No inputs in Samurai Shodown.
(This game doesn't initialize the port direction registers, at least not
directly. Emulation bug or problem with the game?)
- Palette and raster problems in Mortal Kombat.
- Bad raster effects and VRAM corruption in Super Skidmarks.
(Needs PAL timing)
- Palette problems in Sonic 2 title screen.
- Masked half of Sonic sprite visible on Sonic title screen.
- Sprite masking doesn't work in Micro Machines subscreen.
- Music has slow tempo in Batman & Robin. (doesn't seem to be a problem
with the YM2612 timers - Wonderboy 3 is normal)
- Music has jerky playback in Sonic 2, 3, 3D Blast. If you run the Z80
emulation for one scanline after requesting an interrupt, it runs fine.
- DAC and PSG output are too loud, both are divided by two for now
(though the PSG should be a bit quieter and the DAC a bit louder)
- Undead Line locks after selecting a stage, also the Z80 sound halts
after the first note is played.
This game single steps the Z80 with the following code:
MOVEM.L D0,-(A7) ; 009C7C 48 E7 80 00
ORI #$0200,SR ; 009C80 00 7C 02 00

; Release bus and wait for Z80 to resume control. Then restart the loop
; and immediately get the bus back again, assuming the Z80 ran at least
; one instruction in the meantime.
