Summary	01541: ssideki2: Strange shadowing surrounding flags during match.
Description	during a match (both in demo and in real gameplay) at the top corners you can see two large rectangle of uniform blue graphics surrounding the national team flags. it's been like this since MAME 0.34b5 (i.e. when the game was first added), but I cannot find any mention of this as a BTANB, neither on mametesters, nor in the driver. it would be nice to have this confirmed on the pcb, or confirmed as a BTANB if it's already known but never filed.

No.00226 Tafoid Administrator Mar 18, 2008, 13:56	I can confirm the report. Set to possible bug.

No.00330 Foxhack Tester Mar 22, 2008, 19:26 edited on: May 31, 2012, 05:36	See this video: I thought it was recorded via emulation, but the video appears to be -interlaced-, so it's very likely been recorded from an AES system. He also has some intros from other console games... so in my opinion? This isn't a bug. This is real behavior.
No.00339 etabeta Developer Mar 23, 2008, 08:57	yes, the video seems genuine (even if a MVS check would be nice ;) ) thanks for the link. case closed. this is a BTANB.
No.00343 Tafoid Administrator Mar 23, 2008, 13:45	Adding to BTANB. Good research, everyone.
