Please state exactly what software list entry you are using and the exact command-line you are using to start it.
I'm sure there are some games which require machines with additional ram esp if additional sound devices may be used (moonsound, etc).

It appears to be a regression at first glance, but I'll do some research.
You can use an msx2 machine (example: canonv30) and it appears to run correctly.

Have determined a version and even a day of regression - pointing to v99xx video configuration changes.

Fairly certain it can be fixed. I'll look into it tomorrow.

I also used "zanac2" as a test cartridge to check if the machine's VDP was valid or not and fixed them per results.
