Hay, haynor. You read http://mametesters.org/legend.html#severity before posting more "issues".
Critical (Game) is only for games that crash and freeze.

Sorry, my mistake. I was use critical because with such corruption games are unplayable. Ok, I won't use it next time.

the system 16 bootlegs are generally considered broken, they need their own video handling as they don't perfectly replicate the original sega chips.. some are also missing roms (eg replacement z80 programs, which are mentioned in the dump notes, but nowhere to be found..)

But these sets are marked as working without any problems. Actually one bootleg is running very good. Why another two are broken ?

Because it's on different driver, segas16a.c.

Closing report.

This is already known by Devs as Haze says. Don't reopen the report. Sigh..

You are now Viewer. No more report.
Thanks.

Following a discussion with Haze, this report will set to Acknowledged. Just be aware that more bugs regarding flagged or unflagged system16.c or system18.c will not be accepted at this time. Assume that all games from those two drivers are flagged GAME_NOT_WORKING. These drivers will be worked on at some time in the future. Until then, for playing purposes, please use the working NON-bootlegs. Thank you.

I still don't think real bugs should be hidden behind flags, it's still an issue...

As far as I'm concerned you can take bug reports for ANY driver I've worked on, even if it has imperfect graphic / sound tags.
