hmm, game is NOT_WORKING, i thought the current policy still excluded games with that tag?

I don't really mind, but there are rather more serious issues than the text tiles being the wrong colours ;-)

Ok...
Didn't the Dev want full disclosure of source code documentation as related to bugs in emulation transferred to MANTIS? This is what is happening (albeit slowly). Fujix himself has been spearheading this and has already added nearly 200 of these - it's disheartening to get resistance to the work that is being done especially since it's so time consuming and other than this message of disapproval - we haven't had any comments of a positive light. Do we continue with this or just drop it? It's all very frustrating, to be honest.

As I said, I don't mind, it's just that I thought the bugs would be added according to the submission guidelines. In this case the lack of protection emulation (And thus the game being flagged as not working) is a significantly bigger issue.

I was just looking for some clarity on why it was added.

Storing details on the specifics of why games are 'not working' and what investigation has been done might not be a bad idea, but I didn't think it was one of the goals here.

Not all drivers are consistently flagged, some don't have the NOT_WORKING flag even though they are worse than this game. It should be arbitrary of the driver authors.

I just added it because it is mentioned in the driver as an individual issue and the game works to a degree, and this information is not useless to tell the current situation of the driver.
There are a lot of informative stuff in flagged drivers, so it is difficult to make a solid rule of import. And this is an obsessing point for me.
This report will be looked at when the driver is fixed in the future anyway ;)

And if you have something informative to add which I'm missing in drivers, please add them to help publicity.

I opened the Testers' work group on Google to the public so that you can check the current progress:
