My impression on version 0.9.2

Since the newest version is out, I'd like to share my experience I had with it so far.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike (U)

It works completely fine since I first played it with version 0.9.0, and it's still working fine with this version. The menu glitch (the main menu graphics on the touch screen are just black) is fixed in version 0.9.2, regardless if used with OpenGL or the new SoftRasterizer.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (U)

This game works fine too except for black lines between each line (and no I don't mean the grid option, this glitch appears with the grit option turned off). Again this is fixed by using the SoftRasterizer. I also can confirm the sound bug during the opening sequenze, the "name of the mission" screen before each mission and the result screen after each mission, but for the rest of the game everything sounds fine.

Two big issues with this game are 1. saves aren't working and 2. I'm experiencing huuuge slowdowns. The latter may be because of my PC specs, but since AW:DS is working without any slowdowns for me, I's jsut a big mystery for me. Sure you play through the game by using Save States (because after loading a Save State, the game runs smoothly for at least one round) but try to do this the whole campaign XD. I did it, but seriously, does the game really require so much CPU power?

Megaman ZX Advent (U)

The game's predecessor, Megaman ZX, worked without any issues for me, but even with 0.9.2, the character sprites are missing, even with SoftRasterizer.

Lunar Knights (U)

The game seems playable, but the whole screen is filled with lines during actual gameplay. SoftRasterizer doesn't seem to help either.

I've heard some issues about the save system in the comments lately. I can confirm that some games like Advance Wars: Days of Ruin seem to be broken in that regard, but every other game I listed here have no problems at all with normal saves.

My specs are:
Windows XP Porfessional 32bit
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2,2 GHz)
2GB RAM
Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT 512 MB

Re: My impression on version 0.9.2

savegame glitches totally depend on the game. thanks for the feedback. if you have something that you think qualifies as a bug, enter it in the bug tracker and it is more likely to get dealt with.
