Interesting. One thing that I'd probably recommend fixing is Darius Alpha; it's not actually SuperGrafx enhanced. It seems it was meant to be, but it's identical on both the PC Engine and on the SuperGrafx. There is no reduction in sprite flicker at all on the SuperGrafx. Chris Covell can tell you more about that.

Darius Plus works properly and it does have the sprite flicker reduction. I think Darius Alpha was the first game I played on my SuperGrafx when I got the system and it's definitely unchanged from how it is on the regular PC Engine. It's been about a year since I looked into it, but Chris Covell looked into the code and found that Alpha has an earlier build date than Plus does or something like that. Not sure if that's related, but I suppose it's possible that they hadn't implemented the sprite flicker reduction before they printed the HuCARDs. Maybe they forgot or something. Not really sure what happened, but Chris Covell is the dude to ask about it if you want to learn more.

Nope. Well, I think he was at one point, but I am pretty sure he stopped coming here. Here's his website: https://chrismcovell.com/index2.html

Sure. Basically, I started discussing it over in the TurboGrafx thread with Emmett Turner once I got my SuperGrafx, which is how I learned about it. It started a few posts before this, I think, but basically read through the posts on this page here where Emmett talks about it and there's the Twitter thingy where he asked Chris Covell about it:
