Bug Description

These games have menu stretching issues meaning that the game can't easily be accessed and/or obstructed because of these menu issues, by correcting this we can allow more games to have menu accessibility, thus why it is being documented.

Additional Context

This is mostly for documentation purposes and I would love for anyone to include their games into this report, and I will add them into this report as I see them. Cataloging the titles with these issues allows us to further enhance xemu by working on the games that are close to starting or have minor issues preventing them from being playable.

You can remove Batman Begins from this list, it works as it should.

Regarding Out Run 2, i did not noticed the mentioned menu orientation issue but i can report it runs way better now on 202111240049. Fewer FPS drops and consistent gameplay.

https://xemu.app/titles/56550036/ This one spazzes out in gameplay and overlays the game with the menu and doesn't work for Mac latest version. Music is otherwise fine amongst everything else is. I really want to play this game again.

[mborgerson]

I'm not sure all of these issues are fixed. Re-opened for confirmation.

[TorutheRedFox]

most wanted seems to work correctly now

[Eli098Plays]

nhl 2002 is unreadable, menu bugs, sometimes shows double screen, then when in a game many un textured objects and upside down objects.

[OrganicOstrich]

Need for Speed Most Wanted Menus are correct

[OrganicOstrich]

Total Club Manager 2005 can be removed from this list

[Triticum0]

your wasting time I updated the list above 3 years ago but was never updated so I don't think it will be fixed any time soon unless @mborgerson edits it himself

[ghyujkilop]

#1742 & #1743 along with this is that the edges don't quite meet at the sides of the emulation.
