Todo/Compliance

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
• Company logos must stay on-screen for x seconds
• Can't skip credits
