1 year ago It's not fixed and very much remains broken with the most recent jailbreak firmware and thus shouldn't have been closed as fixed.
It's only fixed with the official non-jailbreak firmware with no signs that the jailbreak firmware will ever be updated with the same fixes. The jailbreak updates in the past always came about within a day or so after the release of an official firmware update. Yet we're now about two weeks out since the official update, signaling that the situation is somewhat different than it was before.
While hopefully it happens eventually, only time will tell and we can no longer just automatically assume it will eventually happen. Not after such a big deviation from past practices. So I recommend holding off on the closing of issues that have been fixed until the jailbreak counterparts of each firmware actually receive said fixes. After all, it's the jailbreak firmware that's the actual subject of the issues section of the SmokeMonsterPack GitHub pages for the Super Nt/Mega Sg/Nt Mini Noir (Although the issue reporting obviously also has directly benefited the official firmware for each system).

Issue: Hitting the Master System's pause button (i.e., the start button on the Genesis controller) to bring up your map/status screen in Desert Strike locks up the game on the Mega Sg with the latest firmware.
Potential Solutions Tested: Since it's a PAL exclusive, I've also tried setting region to Europe and utilizing various European bios files, which makes no difference. Nor does forcing 3 button mode. Issue was originally discovered with the system set to North America and a North American bios file.
How to Reproduce the Issue: Load the Desert Strike rom or the original cartridge, take off from the destroyer's deck, and fly towards the coast line. A handful of seconds in, press the Genesis controller's start button and the game will lock up and annoying static audio will play through your television's speakers.
If you hit start very quickly after taking off, the map screen properly appears but the issue still happens upon attempting to exit the map screen.
Expected Behavior: To be able to hit the start button and actually view the map and status information as one is able to on genuine hardware, and then be able to exit successfully and continue with the game.
Game Information: While I'm personally utilizing a rom file played via the Mega Sg's SD card, a helpful AtariAge user with the original cartridge in his collection is getting identical behavior on his Mega Sg with the real cartridge and his SMS cart adapter. Linked is his post with verification, so it wouldn't appear to be an issue with a bad rom dump or an issue specifically with the jailbreak firmware.
