Knights of Valour 1 Plus marked in red
This game is marked in red because of unemulated protection... my question:
What is this affecting in the current gameplay?

Let's back things up a level and ask, if there's unemulated protection, why do you care what it affects?
Reading between the lines, it's obvious that you think that it shouldn't have that flag, or at least can't see any readily-apparent reason for it to have that flag. Why not just be straight and ask that?

Nope.
I'm honestly asking if somebody knows the bugs the unemulated protection may cause. I'm not struggling for the game to have a working status.
To start off I found there's one reported, but it looks very tricky to reproduce, it could be a btanb:

It could subtly affect gameplay in almost any way. AFAIK it’s flagged that way because it’s using protection simulation based on observing behaviour in emulation (as opposed to extracting code/data needed to run the actual protection used on the hardware).

apparently you can get stuck in various secret rooms, and some of the enemy powers damage amounts are wrong etc.
of course some of that could be that this version was never released in English, and would never run as 'world' region on hardware (the protection device supplies the region) but it could also be because the kovplus handling expects additional protection data.
I'm in no rush to mark things such at this as Working once people have reported issues with them until the actual protection devices get dumped, if that ever happens (I'm not working on it myself, I'm utterly fed up of the abusive scene surrounding these IGS games)

Anything that have that red screen and yellow screen. Skip those. Stick to the green ones. Green always good.
