Sega Extreme Sports - skybox glitch
The skybox in the game is still very buggy. Black spots, artifacts, etc. Many years ago, I remember someone opening a similar report on the libretro flycast website. I can't find it anywhere, so I'm opening it again because it's impossible to play like this. Such nasty skies spoil any enjoyment of the game. I hope this can be fixed.

You need to enable Full Framebuffer Emulation for the sun to be displayed correctly.
Turning on Full Framebuffer Emulation fixed the sun, but the game runs much slower. Unfortunately, the sky is still broken. I am using GL Core video driver.
This screenshot comes from the intro, which shows that half of the sky is invisible.
This screenshot is from the very beginning of the first competition (championship). A large black hole in the sky.
I will also add that this is the Pal (Europe) version called Sega Extreme Sports. The game is in chd format. I will try to test the ntsc (USA) version called Xtreme Sport and let you know if it has the same problem.
edit: US version tested and same situation... A cut off sky, or a big black spot.
Has this fix already been implemented in flycast libretro? Because so far I don't see any difference. However, I noticed something disturbing. Every flycast (libretro) build for windows fails. Could you check this? https://git.libretro.com/libretro/flycast-upstream/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all
it's also fixed on master (and thus on libretro) but their build system is failing. You'll have to wait until they fix it.
