* Pool music and select music from pool
* Sound variables (26 variables)
* Sound flags (Looping and others)
* Process sound code from SBNG resources, using a secondary process in main loop


== U32 library calls ==
== Blue's Birthday Adventure ==
Complete the U32 library calls, triggered by case 2001 of o90_kernelGetFunctions/o90_kernelSetFunctions. Unfortunately the U32 library calls are unique in each HE game.
* Fix flood fill issue in the end minigame of the left adventure of the Yellow disc ([[index.php?title=Media:BluesBirthdayFillBug.png|screenshot]]).
* The U32 code controls the players movements on field in footdemo
* The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer2004
* The U32 code controls the racing segment at the end of puttrace

U32 subopcode 1004  is used by the 'Spin It' button in FreddisFunShop/PuttsFunShop/SamsFunShop
== Blue's Treasure Hunt ==
* Add support for switching between the two sets of resource files, and detecting when that switching should occur.


== Big Thinkers 1st Grade demo ==
== Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo ==
* The image of painting in room isn't updated correctly, after painting your own picture.  
Issues which effect demo and full version (HE72 version only)
* When you encouner Kenya the lion cub for the first time, you see a short cutscene. When Kenya tries to jump, her back is teared off with waterfall drops. Actor 1 (Kenya) is an AUX image and actor 2 (Waterfall drops) is only displayed around Kenya (Not overlapping). But the complete background of actor 2 is been reset, causing the glitches.


== Fatty Bear ==
== Fun Shop titles ==
* Add support for sound pitch changes for piano notes in DOS version.
* Add support for processWizImage modes 13, 14 & 15, used after selecting text button. Creates and displays the text written on cursor.

* Add support for thickLine code for processWizImage mode 10 (fillWizLine), used when selecting the shapes buttons and cycling through the shapes.


== Freddi Fish 1 demo ==
==Russian versions==
* In older demo, the circles of inventory area don't pop into bubbles when clicked on.
* The Russian company logo shown at the start of many games, is missing most of the white color sections. The missing sections use palette slot 255, palette slot 255 is skipped when setting the room's palette, due to a RGB of 255, 255, 255. Caused by a missing palette difference somewhere or maybe a color miscalculation in drawStripHE() ?


== Freddi Fish 2 ==
=== Freddi Fish 1 ===
* When using chalk on black board in school, can draw outside the bounds.
* Input is disabled in the updated version, after clicking on Fiddler Crab (When he is still trapped in cage), if animation shown, starts with a shaking of the cage. This problem occurs in the original version too.
* Often uses the wrong songs (ie the music sheet inside the school)

=== Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries ===
* The characters of 'LOADING----' message at start of each level are displayed at wrong positions
* The updated version has a bad picture in the resources, which shows up as garbage, even in the original version. It crashes ScummVM (under Windows), and is caused by the cleanup of code in drawStripHE() in the past.


== Let's Explore with Buzzy Games ==
=== Pajama Sam 2 ===
* Graphical glitches around screen edges (ie when trying to go outside in farmdemo) sometimes. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.
* Add support for the custom localization code used to handle speech, in this particular port.


== Lets Explore the Farm with Buzzy demo ==
== Future ==
* The background isn't cleared when switching between items in dictionary, when using older demo.

* Graphical glitches around screen edges sometimes. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.
* Incorrect cursor color is shown in the Windows version when picking team members and when choosing a play.
* Wrong palette used for backgrounds, it should be setting the sprite's palette via RGB block.
* Before the field goal and endzone backgrounds show, a black frame appears quickly. It looks like we're calling _moviePlay->handleNextFrame() at the wrong time.
Issues effect full game only
* Invalid rect assert, triggered when clipping a sprite by spriteGroup in spritesProcessWiz(). Occurs when checking for bonus game, if not enough bonus pieces were gathered.
