the use of these configurations.
Ok, I've tested out both the WHDLoad, v1.0, AGA, 0175 & IPF, AGA, 0175 versions & playing through a normal game (No codes or 'CUSTOM' settings in WHDLoad with the following results:
Accurate: Gives warp level graphics glitches at the wing tips. World 2, shooting is fine
Less Accurate: Occasional glitches (You have to pay close attention). World 2, shooting is fine
Least Accurate: Occasional glitches (You have to pay close attention). World 2, shooting is fine
Using the BZZZZZZZZZB caused no shooting World 2 (Well, one shot, then no more) Not sure the way forwards there as it occurs both IPF & WHD versions for me. Any other versions people can test?
Using CUSTOM1=2 to take me to world 2 & the 'no shooting' problem wasn't there.
So, I think for the default configs, we need to use Less Accurate definitely. It's not perfect, but helps reduce the glitches.

Don't use save states. They probably contains already the glitch.
Edit: And i've set it to less accuracy only a few minutes ago. Probably after you've tested it. Try again.

I kept a save state on my IPF & just tried Less accurate. The Warp graphics glitch is still there. I've not tried world 2 yet.
EDIT: Guess I'll need to battle through then :P

Needs Accuracy 0 = less accurate. This fixed the graphic errors in the Warp tunnel sequences (IPF+WHDLoad). At least after a short test.
Edit: Something strange happens in world 2 (IPF version), no matter if you select less accurate or not. You can't shoot anymore. Can anybody confirm it? I used the BZZZZZZZZZB Password to start at the first Warp tunnel.
Edit2: Seems a problem with the above password+IPF version. The WHDLoad version works fine with "less accurate". I'm too lazy to play through the first six levels. Can anybody confirm that "less accurate" fixed the IPF too, starting without any password from world 1/level 1?
Added WHDLoad v1.1 slave.

A quick test on WHDLoad, v1.0, AGA, 0175 also does the same so I guess this could be down to UAE's graphic emulation.
On the IPF, AGA, 0175 version during the first tunnel sequence, I have a graphics glitch that drew lines from each tip of the ships wing.
