For metal arms: glitch in the system. The hard-scale branch so far fixed it so will have to see once it merges to master but for now this is one of the issues that are reported on metal arms: glitch in the system.

Issue #373

[Triticum0]

Edit: it's 111 and not 107 because of Spikeout-BattleStreet and Sentou Yousei Yukikikaze: Yukikaze: Yousei no Mau Sora are incorrectly reported. Also there a demo Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (The Suffering 2 demo) and Flatout is only is an intro game in my testing.

[simi]

I have requested status update for OFP:E (#406 (comment)) since it is playable now without problems, but since I'm still banned on Discord (for misunderstanding, and even I tried to explain stuff over email) I can't do update on my own.

[Triticum0]

@simi I'm happy to write a report for OFP:E as i have the game, but when testing it seemed like a overlay was misaligned making the image blurry. Was there anything other bug present when you were testing the game. So I included it into the report.
Also did you complete the game when testing.

[simi]

@Triticum0 can you post a screenshot and mark the problems in there?

[Triticum0]

@simi Post the problem were on the report or Github. It only appears In cut-scenes. John god game did a video of the game if you don't know what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/x9BsUlUfI1o?t=157. And you didn't tell me how far you got in the game. The computer I used for testing can't run the game at full speed, so I only finished the tutorial. Also not sure if it is the custom build he using, but john gameplays only at 20 fps cap, which I don't think should be capped too.

[MarcoLoves360]

midnight club 3 throw me lots of asserts and if i spam ignore eventually crashes on type name screen. tested on latest master.

Breakdown gets stuck on infinite loading

nfs carbon throws assert as soon as you boot the game.

pgr 2 regression is fixed

[Triticum0]

@MarcoLoves360 What the assertion for carbon, it's properly #520. If so, I'll add it to the list. Other's fixed by fix/arrays, so not worth testing on-till it merged. But thank you for the info.

[mborgerson]

@Triticum0 Has you tested the titles with checkmarks? If you have verified the game is now fixed, please update the game status in the compatibility tracker or ask other testers to help update it, then remove the game from this list

[MarcoLoves360]

@MarcoLoves360 What the assertion for carbon, it's properly #520. If so, I'll add it to the list. Other's fixed by fix/arrays, so not worth testing on-till it merged. But thank you for the info.

yes carbon goes in game

[Triticum0]

@mborgerson This is mostly updated for you to easily find known game blockers as I find using Compatibility reports cumbersome to use and is not always up-to-date as some games are forgotten to be retested after the issue has been closed. Most of them have been tested by john god games, my and guru emulation, but John doesn't write a report for the games he tested recently, so some report stays out of date.

Here is a list of fixed games I checked and where or not there been tested

Games	Tested by	Updated on Compatibility report
AND 1 Streetball	Tritcum0	Y
American McGee Presents Scrapland	Tritcum0	Y
