Tales From The Big Room
Ok, after looking at other threads, i've gathered up a list of all the games that have so far been tested, and arranged them into 3 areas.

Unplayable, being games that show no life at all, black screen, rebooting gp32, etc.

Working / Unplayable, being games that work to an extent, but with bugs that crash it or prevent it from being playable

Working / Playable, being games that can be happily played despite minor bugs.

----------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE - As far as i'm aware, PAL roms (E) are still unplayable. Let me know if this isn't the case.
I'll update when I try new games out. Which i'll probably spend most of today doing.

gp32_console
 
You've done more than enough, Thank you. :)

Yep, a LOT of unplayables. :) But as a technology demonstration to show the differences in speed it succeeds, and that was it's purpose as far as i'm aware :)
 
I was able to fix the jumping bug in Sonic 1 & 2 by running forward for a little while (In 1 I believe it was all the way until you are blocked by the rock).
 
Here are some results (rom names are those from goodgen)
Probotector (E) -> cannot go further than title
Sonic 3D Blast (F) [!] -> garbage graphics with a verified good dump
Lemmings 2 - The Tribes (U) [!].zip -> black screen ()
Soleil (E) (Eng) -> title with little garbage, near everything on the game screen is black after the name has been chosen
Sparkster (UJ) [!] -> black screen
