* On rare occasions, the soccer ball can leave a trail over the GUI.
* 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 kernelGetFunctions/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 basketball

== Big Thinkers 1st Grade ==
== Blue's Treasure Hunt ==
Issues effect demo and full game.
* Add support for switching between the two sets of resource files, and detecting when that switching should occur.

Issues effect full game only
* The car gets stuck in the smart star challenge, maybe sound related ?


== Fatty Bear ==
== Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo ==
* Add support for sound pitch changes for piano notes in DOS version.
Issues which effect demo and full version (HE72 version only)
* Regressions which cause parts of the inventory area to be shown in upper left corner in many rooms.
* 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.


== Freddi Fish 1 demo ==
== Fun Shop titles ==
* In older demo, the circles of inventory area don't pop into bubbles when clicked on.
* Add support for processWizImage modes 13, 14 & 15, used after selecting text button. Creates and displays the text written on cursor.
* Add support for processWizImage mode 17, used draw circle when first selecting shapes button.
* Add support for thickLine code for processWizImage mode 10 (fillWizLine), used when selecting the shapes buttons and cycling through the shapes.


== Freddi Fish 2 ==
==Russian versions==
Issues effect demo and full game.
* 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() ?
* Animation isn't synced during songs (ie the music when talking to captain near submarine)
Issues effect full game only
* When using chalk on black board in school, can draw slightly outside the bounds.

* Russian updated version has bad picture in resource which shows up as garbage even with original interpretator. It crashes ScummVM at elast under Win32. With FreeBSD it works ok.


== Let's Explore with Buzzy Games ==
=== Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries ===
* 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.
* 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.
