this is why im splitting the categories into "not supported" (or similar) and "only intro/part ok" (or similar) - so that people who find a game that we know isn't playable starts don't make the mistake of thinking they can get it to go any further. The only problem is that then we will get people whining that they can't even get the game to start, even though it's irrelevant. This is presumably happening because these few games that "sort of work a bit" are system-timing sensitive in some way, causing the exact point at which they f**k up to vary.
Yuck.
