=== Detailed info about issues in some games ===


'''Mario Kart 64'''
 CRC: 3e5055b6 2e92da52

* In high resolutions (tested with 1600x1200) and only in fullscreen mode the whole screen flashes + overdrawing artefacts. Sometimes there is a small centered picture-in-picture of the game, so the game runs as a small picture in the middle of the screen and the rest of the screen just flashes.
* After every race the screen is split into 4 parts, where 2 of them shows the scores. The background color should here be black, but instead it's white most of the time and randomly flashes to black. Depending on the map there are other colors too.

'''Mario Party'''
 CRC: 2829657e a0621877

* After a (complete) game is finished, the sound starts to stutter extremly loud. It's like there is garbage data in die audio buffer and played over and over again. You have to restart the game to get it back to normal.

* runs slower as with previous version (mupen64-amd64-1.2-bin-64 + glN64)
* artifacts in mini games
* sometimes characters and objects are flashing.
* sometimes characters and objects are rendered multiple times. It's like the next motion frame gets drawn without erasing the previous one from the background. e.g. if a character moves from left to right you get a line of this character in different stages (overdrawing?).
* while the screen is split up into 2 frames the second (either the right or the lower one) frame flashes.

* The replays are almost completly black, but skipable.

'''MISCHIEF MAKERS'''

* In Level 4-1 Astair's Lair you have to run away from a rolling stone. The sad thing is that's invisible. There are most likely more objects in the game which are invisible because of this bug but I only noticed this one so far.
* The questions in the mathfun event in 3-10 are black and not possible to see.
* In world 4, the screen is supposed to be dark, with only the center having a circle of light visible. This was done to simulate a dark cave with a flashlight shining on Marina. So far no plugin renders this correctly. Either the dark and light are swapped, or the screen is all light and no dark, but the correct "flashlight affect" is not present.
* The message "two events of type 8 in queue" appears countless times in the console
* Game lags (on stages 2-3, 2-8, the dash events in 3-10, and the hurdle event in 3-10, during some on screen explosions in worlds 3 and 5)
* There are some outline issues, like in the intro, and in world 4 some plugins render a blue outline in the background.
* in world 2, many of the textures of the grayish brown walls are completely off. gln64 1.1.1 renders these textures 100% accurate.

* The selection screens do not show up properly in Rice Video (White boxes over some sprites) or Glide64 (full screen is a varying shade of purple)
* Rice Video: Many sprites in-game show up white.
* glN64: No background objects are drawn in-game, causing the game to redraw over itself each frame
* glide64: Crashes before entering gameplay.
