Compatibility

Generated from committed test logs. Nothing on this page is typed by hand.

verified means a result in the test log. known issue means a failure recorded in a committed doc. not yet verified means no recorded result either way.

Verified is a narrow claim: boots into game code headlessly, on the maintainer's disc images, at build e8179c04a895. It is not a certificate that the game can be completed.

Manual: docs.libretro.com. No BIOS files are required (README: BIOS). libretro keeps a separate community compatibility list that covers cartridges.

Jaguar CD boot matrix generated

Parsed from docs/cd-boot-matrix.md, produced by cd_boot_matrix.sh. Every title runs in both modes, HLE and real BIOS.

Notes carry crash watchdog signatures. A lone cd_seek_wedge or video_stall next to a passing PC trace is often benign. The stage column is the gate.

Cartridge boot matrix generated

Parsed from docs/cart-boot-matrix.md, produced by cart_boot_matrix.sh. Every cartridge in the corpus runs headlessly in both boot modes. “Boots and runs” means the final 68K PC is executing game code at build 7e6975f. Video evidence and any crash-watchdog signature go in the notes.

Two limits worth stating plainly. Menu and in-game are not distinguished headlessly. A “video undetermined” badge means the title executes but the headless video evidence is inconclusive, not that the title is broken.

Cartridge fixes shipped in tagged releases

Named fixes from the release notes, each with the commit trail.

TitleWhat was fixedSource
DoomRan at roughly 2x speed. Brought down by bus-contention modelling. v2.3.0 · calibration
Wolfenstein 3DMissing game music. DSP D_FLAGS pipeline-stage correction. v3.0.0
Tempest 2000One-frame playfield collapse (#187). v3.0.0
Alien vs PredatorCyan and brown bars (#178). Red background behind the shotgun (#267, #292). v3.0.0 · v3.1.0
Pitfall: The Mayan AdventureBlack screen in gameplay. 14-byte group-0 bus-error frame, plus GPU STOREP masking (#138). v3.0.0 · PR #212
RaidenMusic dying after saved-options corruption, an EEPROM read race (#344). Black screen on HLE fast-boot (#339). v3.2.0
Power Drive RallySound freezing on a constant tone mid-game. GPU/DSP local RAM 16-bit-port latch (#355). v3.2.0 · PR #363
Val d’Isère SkiingSnow rendered wrong. Object Processor register write order is LSW-first, proven from the Flare netlists (#354). v3.3.0
Ultra VortekVideo torn apart when the Voice Modem activates. The UART IRQ was missing TOM’s C_JERENA gate: 3.26 spurious interrupts per frame before, 0.999 after (#500). v3.4.0

Still open

Render-bound game loops run about 2x fast in Doom and Hover Strike (#401; a real-hardware Doom capture now anchors the timing-accuracy campaign). Battle Morph on CD is too fast (#331). The non-default Fast blitter drops Iron Soldier's briefing wireframe; keep Accurate (triage doc).

Beyond the headless gate help wanted

The matrices above prove that titles boot and execute. They cannot prove a game plays correctly to the end, and no amount of headless sweeping will change that.

Report gameplay issues in Discussions with your frontend log attached. The crash watchdog writes the failure signature into it.
