There are many games that exhibit quirks even on original hardware. Many times these present themselves on TerraOnion's products and are not actually bugs. We will attempt to compile these for users along with fixes where applicable.

Mode - Dreamcast

  • Alone in the Dark (US) - The intro video is badly mastered and the static produced is sadly, normal.
  • Evolution: The World of Sacred Device - The game will black screen if started with a VMU without save space.
  • Unreal Tournament (US) -If the language is not set to English in the Dreamcast bios settings, the game will crash when launching deathmatch.
  • Many Games will not work in VGA (list to come).

Mode - Saturn

  • Bug! (all versions) - Third Party Controllers (retro-bit, brook adapters) sometimes have issues working properly when launching this game. This is a controller issue and not a MODE issue.
  • Croc (US & EU version) - Croc will not initialize properly on some Saturns causing him to appear "headless" in game. To fix this either launch the game from the CD menu or use a mode.cfg (Flags=18) to assist with this launch.
  • Crusader: No Remorse - Slight audio crackles. This happens with the original disc as well.
  • Die Hard Trilogy is known to hang on boot when certain "Red"/"Black" Cart / 4-in-1 Action Replays are used. This is a hardware issue, not a MODE compatibility issue.
  • Hearts of Darkness (Proto) requires a "Developer's RAM cart" and will not run with any known hardware.
  • Horde, The (all versions) - Third Party Controllers (retro-bit, brook adapters) sometimes have issues working properly when launching this game. This is a controller issue and not a MODE issue.
  • In the Hunt (all versions) - The game will sometimes fail to load if a controller is plugged in. Plug in the controller only after the game is past the intro screen.
  • Lemmings 3D (JP&EU) - Third Party Controllers (retro-bit, brook adapters) sometimes have issues working properly when launching this game. This is a controller issue and not a MODE issue.
  • Lupin III: Master File (JP) - Third Party Controllers (retro-bit, brook adapters) sometimes have issues working properly when launching this game. This is a controller issue and not a MODE issue.
  • Mortal Kombat II (all versions) - Third Party Controllers (retro-bit, brook adapters) sometimes have issues working properly when launching this game. This is a controller issue and not a MODE issue.
  • Slam 'n Jam '96 - On some model Saturns the game will not work properly unless it is launched from the CD menu. use a mode.cfg (Flags=18) to assist with this launch.
  • Virtua Fighter Remix for SegaNet (JP) - will not run without a SegaNet adapter

SSDS3

  • JB Harold Murder Club - The game initially seems to be missing spoken English audio. You, however, have to turn it on via the game options which are only presented when you quit the game.
