If you open a Genesis game and then a Game Gear game, the Game Gear won't start until 4 or 7 seconds (sometimes will take longer).
or show black screen at all! Yes i have this bug ;-)

Found another bug on both SSE2 and non-SSE2 builds: (this one is a bit annoying since it will screw your display for a bit, the trash icon will dissapear, also you will lose the background picture...)

If you open a Game Gear game and go to option: System > Master System/Game Gear and disable/enable "Borders", and then you go to full screen it will crash the emulator and screw your display a bit (the window task bar will go up and be placed in the mid screen of your monitor, lose the background picture and the trash will dissapear).

The display behavior can be fixed opening a game in full screen again with this emulator (i tried full screen in other's emulators and the only emulator who can fix the screen behavior is Regen).

Must be a bit annoying to fix bugs in an emulator and then new bugs pops out... programing an emulator is damn challenging.

(Edited to fix typos and some stuff...)

(Another Edit: I just found out that when it crash the trash icon doens't disapear, what disapear is my right side of the screen, example the folders and the trash, while the left side of my screen still have all the folders showing.)
Hmm.. i can't find it, my screen restores after window and fullscreen, maybe you use Windows XP or have buggy Video Driver? ;-)

In the sound menu > Volume Levels... , the PSG slider is not working on Game Gear, when i move the slider the PSG volume stays the same.
No Game Gear uses Noise PSG and SN76489 PSG core not compatible!
But, i glad you use this feature! :D

You my best friend! xZABUZAx

The crash happens if you have the default video plugin (None), it doesn't happen when you have the other's video plugin.

If you have the default video plugin and it doesn't crash then i may have bad video drivers :P

I also use Win XP.

Ahh so the PSG slider is only for Genesis. Yep i like to tinker with features and configure the emulator to my likings, i like the PSG in the music too :) .

Shadow, open a Game Gear game and enable "Borders", you will notice that the Game Gear screen will move to the right, and if you disable "Borders" the Game Gear screen will stay the same (placed in the right).

Also with the default video plugin (None), enable "3D Glass simulation" and open a Sega Master game that supports 3D, then go to full-screen and disable full-screen. Tell me if it crash.

I writed problems with Game Gear in old posts:
In Game Gear without Scanlines:

Output 4:3 aspect cause move picture to left at 50%, if enable stretch picture will be very wide like a 16:9!

Using scaler Hq4x plugin cause to crash Game Gear!
and
Yeah stretching and another things cause black borders.
and
Surprisingly! i enable color borders for SMS\GG and get this bug too!

If use this setups, screen in GG go to diagonal down!
if use scanlines screen moved to right
Sorry i don't have games for 3D glass :-(

You didn't tested what i wrote dude, test "this" one:

Open a Game Gear game and enable "Borders", you will notice that the Game Gear screen will move to the right, and if you disable "Borders" the Game Gear screen will stay the same (placed in the right).

"Super Mario Bros" work stable

"Thunder Force 3" work stable. I destroy boss on each level, and when he blows up sounds some strange pop/crackle, this is normal? :-)

"Sonic 3D Blast" work stable, and no crash in Special Stages :-)
