I actually had these in the latest mednafen WIP thread, but I think it's more appropriate to post them here:

X-Men (USA): The end level puzzle in Mojo's world is broken. You have to press the soft reset button (in mednafen, F10) after destroying a monitor at the end of the level in order to proceed further with the game.

Instead of the Sega boot logo, a screen full of binary code shows up to confirm that the soft reset procedure worked. In mednafen, it always shows the Sega boot logo no matter how I try to reset the game in this point.

Earthworm Jim (Brazil): Not Mega Drive related, but I though it would be worth mentioning. The game doesn't seem to work past the stage title-card screen.

I finally had the chance to test Wii-Mednafen and it's actually a very
 good emulator, despite the limited interface. PCE emulation is years 
beyond what we got before, but honestly, I am a huge Genesis fan and I 
cannot let say Mednafen is an improvement compared to Genesis Plus GX, 
it's actually the opposite for me :-)

Games with major graphical glitches: Aladdin, Out Runners, Double Clutch
Games not working or freezing: James Pond 3, Dracula, Fatal Rewind, 
Virtua Racing, a few unlicensed games

Off course, that's not much but there might be others, whereas I more or 
less tested the whole Genesis romset with Genesis Plus GX to get a full 
set of screenshots, and never encountered a single glitch or non-working 
game !

Sound emulation is good but not as accurate as Genesis Plus GX. 
Actually, it's sounds more like Gens while Genesis Plus GX is closer to
 Kega in term of accuracy. That's said, some people always prefered the 
sound of Gens even if it's not correct. Examples of a few games that 
notably sound wrong in Mednafen exactly like in Gens are Scoobi-Doo, 
Flashback (BGM 3 in sound test) or Comix Zone (many BGM in sound test) 
or have wrong sound effects (Alisia Dragoon, Beavis & Butthead, etc).

Does mednafen not use c68k from yabause? While testing games on yabause when using that core i had issues with games not running and such.

F1 World Championship, all versions extremely glitched video during gameplay, game is unplayable

Kawasaki Superbike Challenge glitching similar to the one in F1 is still present on UI elements but game is visible and playable, screen is flickering at high frequency though.

Both F1 and Kawasaki supposedly use the same engine. Strangely enough, F1 World Championship Edition, sequel to the F1 game, works faultlessly.

Picture of glitched screen in F1 attached.

If you're running on Windows, attach/paste the contents of stdout.txt after loading The Lost Vikings.

(Otherwise copy/paste the stdout output of Mednafen from the terminal/console).

The game "Golden Axe 3" has a system of determining the connected second joystick, in which it is possible to select "2 players". Mednafen responds on connect 3-rd buttons joystickonly and ignore 6-th buttons joystick.
In Kega Fusion is determined normally.

Disney's games looks broken. Even after installing new m68k core. One programmer (without looking code, he is lazy) says that looks like a DMA timings did broken.
Donald in Maui Mallard - slow, sprite glitches, freeze after boss
World of illusions - slow
Cool Spot - sprite glitches
Comix Zone - sprite glitches

Etc

Well Earthworm Jim, which have similar game engine like a Donald in Maui Mallard, but there is no any glitches in any version (pal/ntsc)

PS After a little correcting, Donald in Maui Mallard looks more normal, but still buggy in some moments and after boss game stops(not freeze).
md/vdp.cpp

Solution by r57shell https://github.com/realmonster?tab=overview&from=2016-08-01&to=2016-08-31&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Table from

https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/devices/video/315_5313.cpp#L1067


More information here:
https://bitbucket.org/exodusemulator/exodus/src/ceac297d914fc0d5f2b10225dbb89d56be4ebbe5/Devices/315-5313/S315-5313_Timing.cpp?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#S315-5313_Timing.cpp-129

ps. Kawasaki is broken too. Screen is blinking and trash in bottom part screen.
Blinking can be removed by another solution by r57shell ("turbo DMA"):

vdp.cpp:

	  printf("DMA: %02x, %d, %d\n", reg[23], scanline, DMALength);
            switch(reg[23] & 0xC0)
            {
                
                case 0x00: /* V bus to VDP DMA */
                case 0x40: /* V bus to VDP DMA */
		    if((code & 0x0F) != 0x1 && (code & 0x0F) != 0x3 && (code & 0x0F) != 0x5)
                     MD_DBG(MD_DBG_WARNING, "[VDP] Invalid code for V bus to VDP dma: %02x\n", code);
		    status |= 0x2;
		    Recalc68KSuspend();
                    break;

                case 0x80: /* VRAM fill */
                    if((code & 0x0F) != 0x1)
                     MD_DBG(MD_DBG_WARNING, "[VDP] Invalid code for fill dma: %02x\n", code);
                    dma_fill = 1;
                    break;

                case 0xC0: /* VRAM copy */
                    if((code & 0x0F) != 0x0)
                     MD_DBG(MD_DBG_WARNING, "[VDP] Invalid code for copy dma: %02x\n", code);
		    status |= 0x2;
                    break;
            }
             while(status & 0x2) CheckDMA(); //turbo DMA hack


But trash is still here

This was using Mednafen 1.21.2.
(I was using the MedGui Reborn frontend 0.095 - I'm hoping this shouldn't affect anything!)

In PGA Tour Golf for the Mega Drive/Genesis, when you try to create a new player, the game says that there is no room for new players:

https://i.imgur.com/t6XcD1m.png
(Because the UI is odd in this game, this can be seen by pressing C on the main menu, then pressing A on Tournament -> 1 Player -> Human -> New Player)

Additionally, it seems to show a list of completely empty players currently saved and does not let you delete them.

https://i.imgur.com/byQ7GjR.png

Saving during the game does not seem to work either, as although it doesn't bring up any error message, the restore game option is always greyed out.



For reference, here's screenshots of what should appear, using a different emulator:

Greetings Wink.

My Mednafen version is 1.21.3.

I found a bug in the game Golden Axe 3. If a six button controller is selected in port 2, the 2 player feature is greyed out and disabled.

Then there's this amazing Golden Axe 3 hack by Hinadori JP:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/nfusuvvf5rcs5w9/Golden%20Axe%20III%20RongHe%20Edition%20by%20hinadorijp%20%28Hack%29.zip

(I uploaded it to Mediafire since I had a hard time finding it).

It raises the magic bottles amount up to 255, lets you change characters on the fly by pressing X, make the special attacks of the characters pressing Y and do the alternate Magic specials pressing Z. It also gives access to all areas by default.

(You have to activate these extra features in Options menu (HinadoriJP Mode = ON)).

The problem I found with it, besides the Player 2 six button controller bug, is that X, Y and Z buttons doesn't work.
I tested the game in other emulators like Gens or MAME and these buttons work well.

Regards Wink.

Maxturbo.

Hi, on might & magic 2, characters can be created but not memorized.

It's probably a known issue, but Mednafen seems to have trouble with some homebrew games andhacks that surpass the usual size of Genesis carts.

Pier Solar and the Great Architects is a good example.

I've also experienced issues with these Genesis hacks:

Super Street Fighter II: Blasto Remix Edition shows in-game garbled graphics. This happens in other emus too, I think only BlastEm plays it well.

Also, both the Arcade and the Arcade Recolour hacks for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 available at RomHacking will show an exception error.
