I'm having some graphic problems, so could not be fix with Lewpy's plugin (tinkered with all the settings) or any software plug (even PEOPs have glitches).

Here are my specs while I was using Lewpy's plug:
I'll provide a save state if anyone else here can help.

Also, though I dont have a appropriate pic, its not only the background gfx that's messed up but also the characters in during the game play. I just don't have a pic right now, but the problem is the same for both background and characters.

Well, since its just a 2d game, i'd reccomend you use vgs (or emurayden.. same thing, cept emurayden is free :)

VGS crashes on my comp since I upgrade, so VGS is no longer an option :(

Emurayden is an illegal "hack" of VGS. Don't mention it again.
- Sanhime, have you tried all of the Sofware GPU's?

No I do not think you are stupid. But what you said borders illegal usage of VGS. However don't worry about it, it's not a big deal. OK?:)

I'm not sure about Genesis, but as for SNES and S. Famicom, It was always called Power Instincts.

The Japanese version is called "Power Athlete" :)
I really liked that game on my days of snes/genesis and I'm really happy to see they made a sequel for the psx. I'll try to get this one.
