Great news Pal users will be happy

Hi, Zetsubou, thank you very much!
Your testing is really helpful (Mainly about address mapping, address mirroring, DMA etc.)! The future improvements will base on your testing.
BTW, please join Nova Discord channel: discord.gg/yAQBa5C

WipEout (USA)
The game is loadable but crashes after the title screen.


-No sound at all during the introduction FMVs (before the title screen), just heard a rapid crackling before going mute.


WipEout 2097 (Europe)
The game doesn't load.
-Prohibited BREAK/Continue mode when loading the game and some BAD WL on SH2.


Virtua Fighter 2 (Europe) (Rev A) (Made in EU)
The game doesn't load.
-Bad RB on M68K spam.


Virtua Fighter (Europe) (P2)
The game refuse to load, stays on the BIOS (exact same problem with all other versions of the game).
-Cartridge unsuitable for this system.


Yu-No - Konoyo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo (Japan) (Disc A)
The game doesn't load at all.
- BAD WL instruction just after passing the BIOS.


Actua Golf (Europe) (En,Fr,De)
The game doesn't load.
-Multiple bad instructions on SH2.


Azel - Panzer Dragoon RPG (Japan) (Disc 1) (1M)
The game is bootable, seems playable but controls are extremely difficult on keyboard.
- Textures decoding seems partially incomplete (broken lines, missing parts of textures).
Need to check the game on real hardware.


Actua Soccer - Club Edition (Europe)
The game is bootable - heavily intensive CPU operations when displaying the introduction FMV.
- Error messages concerning on double resolution.


- Game crashes when loading the field (after selecting our team and launching the main game).


Albert Odyssey - Legend of Eldean (USA) (RE)
The game seems to be playable with graphic issues.
- Multiple errors on screen & cache purge word (white clouds rather than transparent, background behind the title screen).



Alone in the Dark - Jack Is Back (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It)
The game is bootable.
- Missing screen just after selecting the language (need to smash the START button for getting into the game).
There is normally an other screen between the language selection and the main title on other emulators/real hardware.


- BAD WW instruction spam on SH2 after smashing rapidly and multiple times the START button (otherwise the game doesn't load the first cinematic with the car reaching the front gate).


Batman Forever - The Arcade Game (Japan)
The game is playable with minor graphic errors (missing overlays, Batman rendered over the Batmobile in the 5 first seconds in-game instead of rendered inside of it and jumping off the vehicule).
- Multiple SH2 BAD WB and WL spams on SH2 Master and Slaves during the FMV introduction and during the game.




- Faulty rendering of the Batmobile during the first traveling in the introduction.


Personal note/possible hint : Mednafen had some trouble to render also the correct traveling of the Batmobile, but a fix was done on the last version available for now (Possibly CD seek timing issue. Fixed in 0.9.48).

Thank you benj
I have made some changes on my roadmap.
The PAL mode should be completely supported as soon as possible.
