Summary 03524: p47aces, gametngk, hayaosi3, suchie2, kirarast: MegaSystem 32 - Brightness control issues
Description p47aces at the start of the intro, the text should always be visible, the bg should fade in? (note, the castle is a sprite, the text are sprites)

gametngk when you use a bomb everything fades, should only be the bg. also between some levels

hayaosi3 whole title screen dims, should only be the bg?

suchie2 - instructions during attract, whole screen is dimmed, should only be bg?

kirarast - screen not dimming in MAME during match results count. (see comments for more details and videos)

might be tied to the priority?

feel free to add specific cases + screenshots when 135u1 is out (assuming the changes are included)

original reference material is useful (especially p47aces, so that I can be sure which layers should fade in the intro, all videos I found were created with an older version of MAME and aren't useful)

P-47-Aces, video taken from pcb. The text appear quite before the landscape:

I've uploaded this video from current MAME (0.214). The brighness definitely needs to be modified. Both text and background appear almost together:

(advice to testers: the language of the game can be changed inside the dip switches, from English to Japanese, if you wanna check this text issue)

Regarding gametngk, please, just check 03522 in which I showed a full gameplay on pcb + another full gameplay in MAME for comparison.

For Idol Janshi Suchie Pai 2 I've found a 20 minutes pcb gameplay. Unluckily, the screen you wanted from attract mode is not shown. The guy starts playing too soon:

I've found out what I think is a brightness issue in the ms32 game Ryuuse Janshi Kirara Star (kirarast). I'm adding it to the list of affected games.
I'm sharing videos of the attract-mode in pcb and MAME. In both attract-modes looks the same except for a brightness issue in mame that can be seen in 2:15, in 2:40 in the pcb video. The screen gets darks in that instant in the pcb, it doesn't in MAME.

kirarast pcb attract-mode:
2:15 to check correct brightness fading


kirarast MAME (0.214) attract-mode:
2:40 to check the incorrect brightness not fading away
