Last Armageddon graphical glitch

[LeftEmpty]

Hello,

I am experiencing a slight graphical glitch in Last Armageddon. After a fight, the borders of some of the coastline are changed to parts of the ideograms used to signal an encounter ("獲物がいたぜ！").
Here is a screen capture :

I don't have a mean to test another dump, as I don't own the game anymore. If anybody can check it with their own (it shouldn't be difficult: you can skip the lengthy cutscenes and jump straight into the action).

Cheers!

Investigation would need a savegame to easily reproduce.
Also, would need to verify that this doesn't happen on real machine (I've never played this game so I can't say whether this is an existing bug on any of the pressings).

The procedure is the same whether you load a saved game or start a new one:
- Wait for the title screen, press run button at the prompt;
- Skip the intro sequence by holding the II button;
- Start a new game (first option) or load a saved one (second option) at the menu;
- Hold down the I button to skip time until an encounter happens;
- Press I to resolve the fight automatically;
- Walk a little to the south; the coastline should appear, allong with glitches.

The glitch didn't happen from what I recall of the game at the time, but I don't know which revision it was, nor was I even aware there were revisions back then!
The one I'm running on the MiSTer is Rev 6 apparently. I ran a burnt copy I had lying around (which I suspect is the same revision), and no glitch were apparent on a Laser Active.

Here is a saved game, but it is probably simpler to just run a new game, as it drops you nearly to the same point.

OK, I was able to reproduce it on MiSTer, and not on real hardware, using a consistent image (my own).
I have opened a GitHub issue for it.

Thank you very much for confirming it and making the effort to report it, David!

srg320 has fixed this today, and Sorgelig issued a new release.

Awesome!
