Summary	02605: funnymou, suprmous: Wrong colors in Funny Mouse and clone.
Description	The colors seems wrong in Funny Mouse and it's clone Super Mouse. Here's a screenshot from MAME 0.128u1 and another from a previous version of MAME, don't remember which though. First screenshot is from previous version of MAME (correct) Second screenshot is from version 0.128u1 (brown water) If this can help, my old screenshot dates back to July 20, 2004, and I keep MAME always up to date (updates aswell). So I had the latest version at that time when I took it. (Update) Well, I checked and it seems that the correct screenshot was taken with MAME 0.84 which was released July 2nd, 2004.

No.02959 Haze Senior Tester Nov 1, 2008, 10:19	the (hack?) code that shifts the palette decode 8 colours and 'allocates primary colors for the background and foreground' breaks it. I'm not even sure what these background / foreground colours are meant to be... or where they're used
No.02960 Haze Senior Tester Nov 1, 2008, 11:17	well, i've fixed this
No.04837 hap Developer Aug 22, 2009, 17:13 edited on: Aug 22, 2009, 17:17	improved again for 0133u4, eg. judging from attached photos: - mouse inner ears should be lighter - grass and trees should be darker than roof - tree branch should be darker Though for 100% accuracy, we'll still need schematics or study the pcb
No.04839 Stefan Lindberg Senior Tester Aug 22, 2009, 19:54	I have "Funny Mouse" PCB... is there something i should check?
No.04840 hap Developer Aug 22, 2009, 20:10	PROMs pin configuration, and the resistor values the lines go through.
No.04842 Stefan Lindberg Senior Tester Aug 22, 2009, 21:26	I can't even find the bproms :-/ Maybe you can check out those pics of my Funny Mouse PCB's: http://arcade.ym2149.com/pcb/chuo.html
No.04843 hap Developer Aug 22, 2009, 22:00	I'm as lost as you are :-/ nice pics though =)
No.04856 Stefan Lindberg Senior Tester Aug 24, 2009, 03:00	They must be in that epoxy block, wich would mean the colour proms are probably dumped from a bootleg.
No.06214 M.A.S.H. Senior Tester May 31, 2010, 15:20	The colors in Super Mouse are wrong again since hap changes it in MAME 0.133u4. I've added screens taken from actual Super Mouse arcade game (http://www.arcadecollecting.com/shots.html). Before MAME 0.133u4 the mouse face colors were correct, but after the changes not. Reopen this bug report please!

IMO it looks much better post-0133u4 than pre, check the 0.133 pic I attached. One odd thing though, titlebar background is white in MAME, grey on pcb (while house and text is still white) nice site btw :P
