Driver has accurate description of the video emulation's inaccuracies.
aristmk4
gunnrose - The color PROM needs to be dumped.
aristmk5
asterix
Problems with the Konami logo: in the original the outline is drawn, then there's a slight delay of 1 or 2 seconds, then it fills from the top to the bottom with the colour, including the word "Konami".
astinvad

sbagmani - Different PROMs, need correct decoding.
banprestoms
GFX emulation should be double checked for glitches once the games are fully playable.
barata
Whack-a-mole type game with no screen. Needs photographic artwork.
basf7100
Real character ROM needs to be dumped and video emulation isn't complete.
battlera
Priorities aren't 100 correct. Only necessary features of the PC-Engine video hardware are implemented: not all PC-Engine video features are used by games in this driver.
battlex
battlex - Missing starfield. Background tile colors are wrong.
dodgeman - BG tilemap palette bits (in most cases paltte 0 is used, only highlights ( battlex logo, hiscore table) uses different palettes(?). Current implementation gives different highlight colors than on real hardware (i.e. battlex logo should have yellow highights).
bbc
GFX emulation isn't accurate yet.

yamato, yamato2 - The bg gradient color decode & table selection isn't correctly implemented.
cdi
cedar_magnet
Sprite communication / banking problems.
centiped
bullsdrt - Wrong colors.

cidelsa
draco - Colors aren't perfect yet.
cinemat
qb3 - Some graphics problems.
circus
crasha - The playfield should be cyan. The entire centre box (and contents) should be pale green.
cischeat
bigrun is the only set which seems to have correct GFX emulation. For the other sets, some ROMs aren't used (priorities?). Screen control register hasn't been found yet (priorities, layers enabling etc.) In f1gpstar, it's unsure whether they are correct in a few places (e.g. in the attract mode, where cars move horizontally, the wheels don't follow for this reason, probably).
cit220
Preliminary driver. Missing GFX modes.
clickstart
Preliminary driver.
clshroad
firebatl - Transparency for the text layer is not correctly emulated.

cubo
AGA emulation is missing some features.
cybertnk
Sprite zooming and sprite shadows need improving.
dai3wksi
dai3wksi, runaways, warp1, warp1t - Colors generation isn't understood. On the PCB there are no PROMs, so it's hardcoded logic somehow? It's 3bpp colors, not b&w + color overlay.
dassault
Blending effects aren't fully emulated.
dblcrown
There's a bogus "Hole" in main screen display; is the background pen really black?; video / irq timings need work.
dbz
The Banpresto logo in DBZ has bad colors after 1 run of the attract mode because it's associated to the wrong logical tilemap and the same happens in DBZ2 test mode. It should be a bug in K056832 emulation.
dday
The driver currently hacks a handgenerated color tables, which matches the screenshot. Needs correct emulation.
ddayjlc
Priorities aren't perfect.
ddenlovr
funkyfig - Scrolling and priorities problems.

nslasher, nslasherj, nslashers - Marked as imperfect graphics.
decocass
csdtenis -
deco_mlc
Blending, raster effect features aren't fully emulated currently.
deniam
logicpro - Logic Pro has an unemulated graphical effect: when you insert a coin, the screen becomes very slightly darker until the next 'scene change'. This is not emulated yet.
deshoros
The display controller isn't identified and the character ROM isn't dumped. Once done, then needs emulaatinge the graphics with genuine artwork display.

elan_eu3a05
rad_sinv - Various glitches. See top of the driver.
electron
Graphics seem to be wrong for several games.
eolith
candy VRAM erasing doesn't work properly in this game with the logic used in eolith_vram_w. There are various screens, such as the how to play screen and high score screen where you can see graphics which should have been erased. It has been verified that these get erased correctly on the real hardware.
ep64
equites
gekisou - Various small graphics glitches. More infos on top of the driver.
hvoltage, splndrbt and clones - the interpretation of the scaling PROMs might be wrong. The sprite x scaling is not used at all because it couldn't be figured out. Sprite y scaling is slightly wrong and leaves gaps in tall objects. Note that sprites are 30x30 instead of 32x32.
ertictac
poizone - Video timings are off, causing various glitches.
esh
ettrivia
strvmstr - Color PROMs dumps are bad.
exerion
irion - Priorities aren't correct.

fitfight
Scrolling and sprite color problems.
flipjack
Various gfx/color problems remaining.

fromance
nekkyoku - The CRT Controller needs to be identified to fix layer misalignment due to dynamic changes.
fruitpc
Preliminary driver. Pc based hardware.
funworld
bigdeal, bigdealb, bonuscrd, bonuscrda - Each game needs its own bipolar PROM dump.
clubcard - Wrong background color.
fuukifg3
Raster effects are imperfect: bad frames when lots of new sprites.
gaelco3d
Graphics rendering isn't perfect yet.
gaiden
raiga, stratof - It's unclear how lower priority sprites are affected by blended sprites.
galastrm
FLIPX support in taitoic.cpp is not quite correct.
galaxia
Colors aren't right(there's no color prom?!). Stars background should be multi color. Bullets need to be improved and astrowar needs accurate sprite/bg sync.
galaxian
aracnis - Marked as imperfect graphics.
bagmanmc, bagmanm2, kong, luctoday, porter, spcwarp, superbon, supergx, timefgtr - Missing color PROM dump.
catacomb - Color PROM might be mismatched.
galkamika - One GFX ROM is bad.
guttangt - At least one GFX ROM is bad, color PROM wasn't dumped so using the standard one, which might not be correct for this set.
jungsub - One GFX ROM is bad. Some unknown writes, probably GFX related.
all mandinga sets, pacmanblc, scobrag, scobraggi, takeoff - PROM is dumped but isn't correctly hooked up yet.
olibug - One of the GFX ROMs is bad. Uses the Galaxian PROM, which gives bad colors(?).
portera - Might actually be correct, but no video reference to check.
streakng and clone - Marked as imperfect colors. PROM is dumped.
galaxold
bullsdrtg - One of the GFX ROMs is bad.
dkongjrm - Probably mismatched color PROM.
dkongjrmc - Sprites leave artifacts. Also colors aren't 100%.
galgames
galgame4 - There are some garbled graphics in two games (Star Tiger and Battle Checkers).

goodejan
Some sprites flicker on attract mode.
gottlieb
vidvince - Sprite wrapping issues.
gp32
Palette should be normalized to actual TFT color space.
grchamp
"Radar" is probably wrong.
gstream
x2222o - The available GFX ROMs aren't correct for the older prototype program ROMs.
gstriker
All games in the driver need tilemap scrolling/rotation/zooming or whatever effect it uses. Priorities are wrong. Missing mixer registers (mainly layer enable/disable).
gsword
josvolly - Video hardware isn't completely understood.
gticlub
Not all features of the Konami 3D hardware have been implemented.
gumbo
mspuzzleb - Bad dumps.
halleys
All games suffer from the many missing features of the blitter emulation.

Current color implementation is incorrect.
indy_indigo2
indy_4610, indy_4613, indy_5015 -
inufuku
3on3dunk - Tilemap priority is wrong in places (basketball before explosion in attract, highscores).
itech32
drivedge - Uses modified video hardware. It's emulation is quite complete, but still not 100%.
jack
tripool, tripoola - Palette problems during attract mode. The tripool driver used to have a hack making the vblank interrupt go off twice per frame, this made the game run way too fast, but no palette bug.
jaguar
jalmah
Back layer pens look ugly in some circumstances (i.e. suchipi when you win, mjzoomin when coined up).
jchan
There are some priority issues.
jclub2
darkhors - Needs fixing of the disalignment between sprites and tilemap (gap in the fence) during play, without breaking the other screens, which are fine.
jclub2 and clones - Priorities need some work.
jongkyo
Colors are wrong, possibly due to wrong video ram banking.
jpmimpct
cluedo and clones - During the attract mode, just after the camera flash, the camera colours go screwy and proceeding text is printed behind the camera. A TMS34010 emulation flaw or original game code bug.
jtc
jtces40 - Hi-res GFX and colours need fixing.
kaneko16
packbang - Priorities between stages could be wrong.
kingdrby
Work needed on remaining video issues, priorities, sprites, etc. Tilemap color offsets aren't understood.
koftball
Game marked as imperfect graphics. No further note in the driver.
koikoi
Colors are incorrect (color(?) prom outputs are connected to one of pals). It might help to have a screenshot of the original thing.
konamigs
Q2SD GPU emulation is preliminary and only implements the features needed by the only game dumped.
konamigx
All games have minor graphics glitches.
ggreats2, opengolf, opengolf2, racinfrc, racinfrcu - Need ROZ layer emulation.
vsnetscr and clones - Need adding of 'Roz Doubling' support to the Type-4 roz rendering when width > 512 and fixing of the issues with FG Tilemaps (the hack used for Soccer Superstars clearly doesn't work here causing most of the left screen tilemaps to vanish).
winspike, winspikej - Bad sprite colours (might be more protection).
konamim2
btltryst - Unemulated GFX modes make the game too glitchy to be playable.
heatof11 -
konmedal
buttobi, ddboy and clone - Priorities not understood and wrong in places, apparently controlled by PROM.
konmedal68k
Some small gfx glitches remain.
kyugo
99lstwarb - BG tilemap is wrong in some levels.
laserbas
There are weird palette changes and some video reference would be useful to verify GFX emulation in general.
lbeach
Colors aren't probably 100% correct yet. No reference available.
lethal
'External' rowscroll not hooked up correctly (1st attract level, highscores). There possibly are some priority issues / sprite placement issues.
lft_craft
lft_phasor
PAL emulation is missing.
liberate
prosport, prosporta - Marked as imperfect graphics. No further note in the driver.
littlerb
The VDP device isn't perfectly understood yet.
lkage
bygone - Title screen glitches, other glitches.
lordgun
lordgun - In the 3rd leg of the ship stage, sometimes part of a far jetboat is drawn above a nearer sub (both sprites). But this is correct considering both priorities and sprite list positions. Original game bug? Wrong colors for tilemap 0 in the 2nd leg of the last stage (where some sprite priority bugs happen too). In the jungle level, final enemy, tilemap 0 does not scroll. It may have wrong priority, or may need to be disabled, even though it is used by enemies to hide, so it's probably just odd but right after all.
lsasquad
Wrong sprite/tilemap priority. Scrollram not entirely understood.
m10
Colors are close to screenshots for IPM Invader. The other games have not been verified.
m107
wpksoc and clone - Graphics glitches due to some unimplemented features.

The games use a custom video controller which isn't fully understood. (See notes on top of driver)
mc10
mc1000
meadows

gstrik2 and clone - Priorities between rounds are wrong.
mgames
Color system (no bipolar PROMs in the system), needs a reference.
midzeus
invasnab, invasnv4, mk4, mk4a, mk4b - Zeus chip emulation is incomplete.
crusnexo, crusnexoa, crusnexob, thegrid, thegrida - Zeus 2 chip emulation is preliminary.
minicom
mitchell
mstworld - Bootleg with different video RAM banking.
mjkjidai
mjkjidai - Several imperfections with sprites rendering:some sprites are misplaced by 1pixel vertically and during the tile distribution at the beginning of a match, there's something wrong with the stacks moved around, they are misaligned and something is missing.
model1
swa and clone - Ship models periodically disappear for a frame or two during attract mode and while in-game.
vformula - TGP coprocessor emulation is incomplete.
model2

Video hardware emulation is lacking many features.
monzagp
Incorrect colors and some GFX inaccuracies.
moo
bucky and clones - GFX glitches.
moomesa and clones - Needs 54338 color blender support(intro gfx missing and fog blocking view). Enemies coming out of the jail cells in the last stage have wrong priority. Could be tile priority or the typical "small Z, big pri" sprite masking trick currently not supported by K053247_sprites_draw().
mpu4mod2sw
connect4 - Uses incandescent lamps to make a display grid, need better timing to make this work
mquake
Marked as imperfect graphics. No further note in the driver.
ms32
Video system is only partially understood. Extensive TODO on top of the driver.
f1superb - Has an additional unemulated DSP for road GFX.
murogem
The palette system needs to be understood.
mystwarr
All games are marked as imperfect graphics. No further note in the driver.
metamrph and clones - Intro needs alpha blended sprites.
mz2500
n64
n8080
helifire, helifirea
namcofl
speedrcr - Some GFX glitches.
namcona1
xday2 -
namcond1
Video emulation lacks some graphical effects (ROZ, ..).

finallap and clones - Sprite size bit is bogus during splash screen. Bad road colors.
finalap2, finalap2j, suzuka8h, suzuka8hj, suzuka8h2 - Bad road colors.
finalap3, finalap3j - Use unaligned 32x32 sprites, which aren't handled correctly in video/namcos2.cpp yet. Bad road colors.

Graphics system emulation is lacking some features and some aren't understood.
namcos21_de
Graphics system emulation is lacking some features and some aren't understood.
namcos22
Graphics system emulation is lacking some features and some aren't understood.
namcos23
Graphics system emulation is lacking some features and some aren't understood.
namcos86
wndrmomo - Enemies coming out from the ground cut "holes" from the crowd in the foreground. This is because the crowd sprites have higher priority, but come earlier in the sprite list, so now that sprite/tilemap orthogonality is implemented, crowd is obscured by sprites following it, which are obscured by the tilemap. Reverting to the previous behaviour, removing orthogonality, would fix the problem, but It's almost sure it wouldn't be correct.
naomi
Graphics system emulation is lacking some features.
nbmj8900
ohpaipee -
neoprint
Needs implementation of the remaining video features. Needs simulation of the printer/camera devices, lamps.
nes
nes_vt02_vt03
These NES clones have modified hardware. Differences aren't fully implemented yet, causing imperfect graphics and/or colors in these games.
nes_vt09
These NES clones have modified hardware. Differences aren't fully implemented yet, causing imperfect graphics and/or colors in these games.
nes_vt32
These NES clones have modified hardware. Differences aren't fully implemented yet, causing imperfect graphics and/or colors in these games.

tdragon3h - Bootleg with different sound hardware.
nwk-tr
Complex Konami 3D hardware. Some features aren't correctly implemented yet.
nycaptor
Driver needs real bg/sprite priority system.
olibochu
Palette decoding is wrong.
oneshot
oneshot - Priorities for some tiles are wrong. There might be a layer order register.
othello
Correct colors need to be derived from the color DAC (24 resistors) on pcb.
overdriv
Lots of problems: Missing road (two K053250). Visible area and relative placement of sprites and tiles are most likely wrong. Some flickering sprites, this might be an interrupt/timing issue. The screen is cluttered with sprites which aren't supposed to be visible, increasing the coordinate mask in K053247_sprites_draw() from 0x3ff to 0xfff fixes this but breaks other games (e.g. Vendetta). The "Continue?" sprites are not visible until you press start. Priorities need figuring out.
pacman
cannonbp - Color PROMs should be correct but give wrong ugly colors.
eggor - Color PROMs might be mismatched.
mspacmanbco - This PCB has swapped Blue and Green color lines (Ms.Pac-Man sprite should be pink).
painter - Sprite ROM dump is bad.
panicr
Sprite - sprite priorities are possibly wrong. Needs video reference.
paradise
paradlx, para2dx - Marked as imperfect graphics with no further note. Perhaps the flag wasn't removed after adding correctr gfx3 roms?
pasopia7
pc1512
peplus
all Imperial games, pebe0014a, pemg0213, pepp0045b, pepp0045c, pepp0130, pepp0733, peps0615, peps0628, pex0057pb, pex0057pd, pex0827s, pex0846s, pex1087s, pex2172pa, pexm009p - Wrong CG graphics and/or CAP ROMs.
phoenix
capitol, pleiadbl, pleiadce, pleiads, pleiadsi - Palette banking. Controlled by 3 custom chips marked T-X, T-Y and T-Z. These chips are responsible for the protection as well.
phoenixi - This bootleg uses 1 8-bit PROM instead of 2 4-bit ones like the vast majority of the other games on phoenix hardware. Needs correct decoding.
pingpong
cashquiz - Incomplete dump.
pinkiri8
Current blocker is the video emulation i/o ports, it looks somewhat exotic. Colors are wrong.
piratesh
The KONAMI custom GFX chips' emulation isn't perfect yet.
pktgaldx
pktgaldxb - There are GFX glitches in background of girls after each level.
playch10
pc_1942, pc_bstar, pc_gntlt, pc_miket, pc_pinbt - GFX glitches due to mapper or PPU problems.
playmark
luckboomh - Lucky Boom has some minor colour issue with the background - see the title screen. The game selects the wrong colour for some tiles. The tiles should be colour 0x01 not 0x02. Affects the backgrounds in game however it's barely noticable.
plus4
pofo
Cursor is missing. LCD board isn't emulated.
polepos
grally, polepos2bi, polepos2bs - Bootleg on different hardware. Colors aren't correctly decoded yet.

psion
psion5
psx
pturn
Palette decoding isn't perfect.
pve500
quasar
Marked as imperfect graphics with no further note.
quickpick5
quickp5 - Some small gfx glitches remain.
quizpun2
rabbit
Missing raster effects (see left side of one of the levels). Needs clean up of the zoom code and a more accurate zoom effect.
rainbow
realbrk
Need priority handling (e.g during the intro, there are two black bands in the background that should obscure sprites). Sometimes sprites are shrinked to end up overlapping the background image in the tilemaps, but they are a few pixels off.
redalert
demoneye - Missing the 3rd GFX layer.
redclash
Colors are unverified (some screenshots are needed). Some graphical problems.
rltennis
Various gfx glitches here and there, mostly related to wrong size of data.
rohga
Wrong/unemulated alpha/priority functions.
ron
Palette PROMs not correctly hooked up.
roul
Palette and blitter command 0x00 need verifying.
route16
jongpute - Palette decoding is wrong.
royalmah
chalgirl - Missing PROM dump.
mjsenka, mjyarou and clone - They never seem to set the palette base.
rungun
Missing dual monitor support. Sprite palettes are not entirely right. ROZ update causes music to stutter.
saitek_intchess
Colors are estimated from photos (black and white are obvious, but the green and cyan are not standard 0x00ff00 / 0x00ffff), video timing is unknown, sprite offsets are estimated from photos.
sangho
pzlestar - Title screen uses sprites with screen 12, has wrong colors due of it.
sbrain
Missing row buffering DMA (DP8350, MM5035) and line-by-line rendering and proper character generator emulation (CRT8002).
sbugger
sbugger, sbuggera - Wrong colors: it looks like there's direct color mapping. Bits from attribute ram connected to r/g/b outputs without use of color prom or color table.
scobra
tazmaniet - PROMs are dumped but not correctly hooked up.
scramble
troopy - Maybe imperfect GFX decode or maybe bad GFX ROMs.
scregg
rockduck - Color PROMs are mismatched.
seabattl
Colors aren't correct(note: the flyer screenshots look faked; not a good reference). It's unknown if it should have a horizon/sky. Video timing and video offsets aren't correctly implemented.
segaatom
Preliminary driver. H8S/2373 based.
segajw
Preliminary driver.
segas16a
fantzonepr - Bad / missing GFX ROMs.
segas18_astormbl
There are glitches that need to be verified against hardware.
segas24
Missing linescroll in special modes (qgh title, mahmajn2/qrouka attract mode) and screen flipping (mix register 13 & 2).
crkdown, crkdownj, crkdownu - Clipping / solid layer problems? (Radar display).
qsww - Wrong background color on title screen.
sgmastc, sgmastj - Some gfx offset / color problems?
segas32
Some graphics effects aren't understood / implemented yet.
seibuspi
Missing alpha blending effect: screenshot on www.system16.com show that during attract mode in Viper Phase 1 the "Viper" part of the logo (the red part) should be partially transparent. Same thing with the blu "Viper" logo when on the "push 1 or 2 players button" screen. Note that the red logo is tiles, the blue logo is sprites. Same thing with the lights on the ground at the beginning of the game. They are opaque now, you should see the background tiles through.
sengokmj
Some video C.R.T. registers aren't understood. Some sprites bugs at the start of a play.
seta
blandia, blandiap - There is at least a missing rowscroll effect.
crazyfgt - Graphics glitches.
extdwnhl - Has some wrong colored tiles in one of the attract mode images and in later tracks.
superbar, wiggie - There are a few gfx emulation bugs (flipping of some border tiles and sprites not leaving the screen correctly). It's possible the custom hardware doesn't behave *exactly* the same as the original seta hardware.
seta2
deerhunt and clones, wschamp and clone - Offset tilemap sprite during demo.
grdians - The map screen after the character selection needs zooming. There is a global zoom register that should affect the background map and the level picture but not the frontmost frame. This latter should use color 7ff (the last one) and ignore the individual color codes in the tiles data. Zooming is also used briefly in pengbros.
myangel - Some gfx at the end of the game (rays just before fireworks, and the border during the wedding) have wrong colors. You can see the rays red, green and yellow because that's how the palette is preinitialized by MAME, but the game never sets up those palette entries. The game selects color depth "1", whose meaning is uncertain, and color code 0 so there doesn't seem to be a way to point to a different section of palette RAM. There are glitches in the bg horizontal scroll in the wedding sequence at the end of the game. It looks like "scrollx" should be delayed one frame wrt "xoffs".
myangel2 - Before each level, the background image is shown with completely wrong colors. It corrects itself when the level starts.
endrichs, reelquak - Needs an x offset for tilemap sprites. There are one frame glitches in the reels scroll.
staraudi -
telpacfl - One of the GFX ROMs is a bad dump.
trophyh - Mame hangs for around 15 seconds every now and then, at scene changes. This is probably due to a couple of frames with an odd or corrupt sprites list, taking a long time to render.
turkhunt -
shangha3
shanghai
blocken - Incomplete zoom support, and missing rotation support. Setting the game in Game Mode B shows a decent test case for it by starting a play.
kothello - Small GFX glitches.
shanghai - The end of round animation in Shanghai is wrong.
sidearms
sidearms, sidearmsj, sidearmsr - Starfield emulation is preliminary.
simple_st0016
koikois, mayjinsn - Marked as imperfect graphics, no further note.
skimaxx
The player often disappears (when she's too slow?). Is this normal ?
skylncr
bdream97 - GFX glitches.
olymp, score5, sonikfig - Palette not understood. The games don't ever seem to get to using the ramdac, even though disassemblies show the routines are there.

snes
Snes video emulation isn't perfect yet.
snesb
Snes video emulation isn't perfect yet.
spacefb
Bullet colors are incorrect.
spaceg
Various gfx glitches.
spbactn
Sprite / tile priority is sometimes wrong (see 1st table when ball in bumpers). Some of the code which is from the other drivers such as sprite drawing needs verifying, as priorities are questionable in places. Needs support for blended sprites.
spcforce
Color decoding isn't fully understood.
special_gambl
The pens are borrowed from Specialist MX and probably wrong.
speglsht
Some GFX glitches.
spg110

All games are missing CRT controller emulation (resolution+visible area+flip screen?).
dynagear - Visible area may be incorrect.
eaglshot -
janjans1 -
janjans2 -
pastelis - Imperfect raster effects in ending credits and shadows.
stmblade - There is a rogue "tilemap" sprite that pops up at level 2 and stays there till the end of the game (a piece of sky to the left of the screen). It seems that the x&y offsets in the sprite list should be applied to it (-$200,-$200) to move it off screen. But currently those offsets are ignored for "tilemap" sprites. This may be related to the kludge for srmp4 and to the kludge for keithlcy.
ultrax - Backgrounds are offset by $10 pixels, so they're kludged to work.
stuntair
Needs correct colour PROM decoding (resistor values?), correct FG colour handling (currently use a hardcoded white) and fixing remaining GFX / sprite issues (flicker sometimes, might need better vblank timing?).
stv
Video emulation is lacking some features / the video system isn't completely understood. Detailed list of problems in the driver.
subsino2
humlan, squeenb - Empty reels when bonus image should scroll in via L0 scroll. The image (crown/fruits) is at y > 0x100 in the tilemap.
ptrain - Missing scroll in race screens.
summit
Scrolling is wrong, missing graphics at top and right (pound values), palette (currently handmade).
suna8
sranger and clones - Various imperfections (see fireball masking, lev. 5; masking/missing legs, lev. 10).
starfigh - Missing starfield effect.
sunplus_sunplus_unsp20soc
Newer hardware than the one in vii.cpp, graphics capabilities aren't completely emulated.

Some weird framebuffer vertical gaps with some object, namely the green and the trees (zooming?).
suprnova
Video emulation is missing many features. Detailed list in the driver.
suprslam
Sprite offset control hasn't been found.
system1
gardiab, gardiaj - Some graphics glitches.
system16
Bootlegs on different hardware. Most supported sets need proper video hardware implementation.
tabe22
Probably missing some text effects.
taitoair
topland - Framebuffer DMA requires palette switch to be selected dynamically, see at first stage Course Select in Top Landing. Night stages might have wrong priority for stars-above-sea.
taitojc
3D graphics system isn't fully implemented.
taito_b
hitice and clones - Ice trails are incorrect. The pixel bitmap is not cleared on startup nor during attract mode. There's a kludge to fix it in the first case.
taito_f3
commandw - Some clipping and layer problems.
taito_l
plgirls2b - Scroll offset problems.
taito_z
Video hardware needs a lot of work. Detailed list of problems in the driver.

rocknms -
thepit
dockmanc, rtriv - One ROM is badly dumped.
theportr - The PCB has the PROM for The Pit, colors confirmed the same on PCB and in emulation. Bootlegger or operator error in fitting the wrong PROM?
thomson
thoop2
Title screen priority bug.
ti630
tmc1800
tmmjprd
In 16x16 tile mode, the offset into tileram doesn't neccessarily align to 16x16 tiles! This makes using the tilemap system excessively difficult, as it expects predecoded tiles which simply isn't possible here. This is used for the girls in the intro at least, they specify 16x16 tiles on non 16x16 boundaries. (basically the physical tile rom addressing doesn't change between modes even if the data type does).Video has a 'blitter' but it isn't used by these games, it is used by Rabbit. Sprites from one screen are overlapping on the other, probably there's a way to limit them to a single screen. Priorities are wrong.
tmpdoki - Possible bad dump.
tmnt
glfgreat, glfgreatj - They have some problems with the zooming sprites and playfield graphics.
ssriders and clones - Marked as imperfect graphics. No further note in the driver.
ssridersb - Bad dump.
tnzs
jpoponics - Palette format (or gfx decode?) appears to be incorrect, some colours clearly don't match the screenshot. The bar behind the players flickers first during boot / first attract levels. Is might be a bug.

tv912
Attributes not emulated.
tv955
Video emulation is lacking some features.
twins
spider - Blitter / clear logic may be improved.
undrfire
Sprites on some rounds had sprite/tile priority issues. Solved by upping sprite priority while TC0480SCP row zoom is enabled - kludge.
unichamp
unior
Color PROM isn't dumped.

vc4000
vega
Needs implementation of the color mixer and scanline based rendering.
