Todo/Compliance

From Sega Retro

Back to: Todo.

this may even count as a "plan"

Ordered on a scale of most interesting -> least interesting. If something doesn't work (e.g. software reset, controllers) that can be classed as bug.

  • Dreamcast screensavers
  • Dreamcast: does 0GDTEX.PVR exist for the CD player
  • Warning messages when game discs are used in a CD player
  • You're not meant to show a Sega logo right after the BIOS of the MCD/Saturn/DC
  • Pause must have (PLAYER X) PAUSED text (or a menu maybe, idk)
  • Certain controllers detected(..?)
  • Configurable controllers
  • PRESS START BUTTON
  • Demos need to say DEMO
  • Only  START  starts a game
  • Loading message if it takes too long to load
  • Important elements respect the screen safe area (e.g. HUD is x and y pixels from the edge)
  • Game stops if lid is opened (I've yet to find single-disc software that doesn't)
  • Flashing images must conform to NHK broadcasting rules
  • Quick changes from black to white and vice versa can mess up old televisions (love to see if any games actually do that)
  • Stereo/mono setting respects BIOS
  • Can't skip credits
