Here are the bugs I encountered:
-I got the error "OpenVideoOptions: Command not supported" when trying to change the settings in a game
-The screen doesn't get cleared properly (text that's over other text doesn't delete the other text)
-The audio is a bit laggy and doesn't have the right speed (at least that's what I think)
-The game crashed with error code "2345-0021" after I returned to menu and restarted

All of the issues can be seen in the following clip:

The audio being not at the right speed is something i felt too but thought it was just me. Glad to hear is not only me feeling like that.
The screen not clearing properly should be one of those graphics glitches caused by the regression i mentioned in OP so should be fixed soon hopefully.
As for the game crash, that's a strange one that i never encountered on other games. Have to investigate.

It might be at the right speed if it wasn't laggy/had very short interrupts all the time.

Rinne, you're back! Welcome! (perhaps you're back since aeons ago and I just noticed, but welcome nonetheless!)

After loading a savegame in both lb and phantom legacy the save screen also doesnt get cleared from the screen.

> -The audio is a bit laggy and doesn't have the right speed (at least that's what I think)
Same here.

Also - if you have recommendations of games that should not be missed on this plattform, please share them. I'm that this will be an entrypoint to that scene for more people than just me.

Yume Nikki doesn't work, btw - because of file name language conflicts. The game on the emulator tries to open image files with a japanese filename/path designation - and fails. Same install runs fine on Win.

This is really cool, and kudos to your team on this! This opens up HB in a while new light for people such as myself that can't really code, but still enjoy RPG Maker and can make games in it. Really looking forward to watching this project evolve and what HB users can make of it!

what abou rpg maker xp

RPG Maker XP is a completely different engine.
Cause of this, it's not supported by EasyRPG project.

I'm currently experimenting with the audio code but don't have a switch around :/.
Can anybody test if one of the 3 NROs in thezip sound better than Rinnes?

Sorry, please try again.

it works now. But can you please change the name in the makefile? The versions can't be differentiated by the file name in the hblauncher.
