What exactly happens when you run it?

If I remember correctly, the screen flickers like crazy, making the game more or less unplayable.
You can try it yourself as well, also the demo version has this problem.

I have seen something like that in openMSX, but I have always thought it was a bug in openMSX, so I am surprised to see it now also occurs on the SX-1. If the SX-1 developers find the cause, I'm very interested to know more about it!

It seems to depend on the set adjust offset. See https://github.com/openMSX/openMSX/issues/471

I'm surprised to see that this bug is already known since 2015 and still there :)

If you look carefully, you see I reported it in 2004. But it was never solved, obviously. These things are not easy to debug.

Tested on SX-2.
It freezes on the title screen.

Sounds like the same bug SBB had on WebMSX, which got solved in WebMSX 5.3. Maybe a solution can be found there.

Like journey says, it start the first screen, but then freezes. If it reach the game screen, flickers a lot like tfh said.

HRA! is working on some quite in-depth 1chipMSX VDP improvements lately. It’s interesting to follow his progress on Twitter, he’s posting almost daily lately, though in Japanese so use the translate function :), and his posts are quite technical in nature. He’s reworking a large part of the timing with a great attention to detail, it looks very promising. Once he gets a release out (could take a while), if Sex Bomb Bunny is still not working I’m sure he’ll find it an interesting test case to look at.

HRA! is working on the core for the SX|2 with larger Cyclone IV FPGA, but I’m reasonably confident those improvements can be still be backported by KdL to the original OCM core for the Cyclone I.

I agree, because some parts are really rewriten, so no aditional space is required and it fits in our olds OCM / Zemmix. In fact the next firmware 3.9 includes some VDP fixes.
