Bugs, glitches & performance issues: B

This is a list born of my own collection, contributions from the public and my insane genius, we all know emulation in it's infant stages can be riddled with bugs, glitches and Avo knows what- this is a rundown of game issues that I forward to the BackCompat team at regular intervals.

The list is updated within a few days of the most recent patch permitting I can test or get a reliable source on the performance of the game/games in question

Please note the following disclaimer:

Please note all are tested running @ 60HZ in 720p.

Please be aware that testing of said games isn't always going to be extensive (5-10 minutes in some cases, total completion in others) so if you have encountered any bugs/glitches/slowdown that were not present when playing on Xbox for titles that are not on there please let me know via the comments section below
