Shining force still isn't working but this a damn fine release anyway.

Comix Zone now works, although with weird graphical bugs. Something to do with animation, I think.

On the other hand, some games work WORSE in this release; for example, Mickey Mania actually runs slower than in v1.0, which makes it not nearly as fun. I'm not sure why, but there you have it.

nice toe DemonStar

Some games (and damn good ones too!) that are still not playable (probably all Cyclone related):

Shining Force 1 - resets GP at start of game
Shining Force 2 - resets GP at start of game
LandStalker - resets GP at start of game
Street Fighter 2 Championship - freezes at start of game
Samurai Shodown - won't accept input

I wonder if ZAMN still has the graphical issues as before?

Still, an amazing emulator and 2.0 is an amazing release. The speed is wonderful, even high action games are very playable at 144Mhz. IMO this is the overall best emulator on the GP32 in terms of emulation quality, complexity and game quality. How can you beat stuff like portable Phantasy Star 4, Beyond Oasis, Shinobi 3 and Gunstar heroes? You just can't!

ZAMN problems are due to some sort of windowing issue.

Elemental masters, and Frogger have this bug too. These games are still playable though. It is an awesome release as you said. Some stuff still is broke sure, but if you look at what DOES work, and how well it works you can't help but be amazed

Sonic 3 wouldn't load for me before but now it does. and the sound in Alladin is much better, although still not perfect

[Endurion]

also not working is:

Chaos Engine
Power monger
Turrican (its all black on my gp)

and the Lotus games have a strange bugg that prevents the cars from using a higher gear then 2.....

Well, if we're talking about what DOESN'T work yet...

"Rings of Power" is unplayable because the main play area is black (the outside border is visible & you can move your character, but you can't see what you're doing because of the black screen)
"Mr Nutz" simply doesn't load
In "Star Control" the power bar of the ships isn't visible, making it somewhat hard to play )

Really though, we need Rico to create another simple compatibility website for things like this. It would make it much easier for everybody.
