== 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

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 2 ==
== Fun Shop titles ==
Issues effect demo and full game.
* Add support for processWizImage modes 13, 14 & 15, used after selecting text button. Creates and displays the text written on cursor.
* 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.
* The background isn't updated, after picking up urchin in room 13.
* Graphical glitches on right screen edge during ending credits, as creatures reach right side of screen. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.


== Freddi Fish 3 ==
==Russian versions==
* A black vertical strip is drawn over key, when the key is trapped in the Darkroom.
* 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 and Luther's Water Worries ==
=== Freddi Fish 1 ===
* Russian updated version has bad picture in resource which shows up as garbage even with original version. It crashes ScummVM at least under Win32. With FreeBSD it works ok.
* 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.
* The data files use mixed filenames in the Macintosh HE99 version. 'Water Worries (0)', 'Water Worries (A)', 'Water Worries (2)','Water Worries (4)' and 'Water (7)'. This causes the game to fail, since it attempts to load ''Water Worries (7)' instead of 'Water (7)'


== 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.

General Issues

  • Add descumm support for the array changes in HE72+ games to help solve bugs.
  • Convert wizImage to image file (BMP?), when printing is requested, to allow printing of images by other programs.
  • Fix broken sync. of songs, if the game is paused during a song.
