No.07326 Fujix Administrator Mar 21, 2011, 00:49	Also, please update the report to describe the issue specifically here so that we can comprehend what is wrong without looking at those posts in the MameWorld forum, otherwise this cannot be accepted.

As a side note type 2 also has a populated amplifier section. It's very possible these boards are primarily World or Japan boards while the majority of inverted/non-amped ones were sold in the US.

With today's bgfx hlsl filters it is easy to individually adjust RGB levels to taste. I will leave this open for now. For hardware documentation purposes there should be game-specific sliders. When and if these are implemented is another question.

All recordings and pictures are overexposed and in all the "TOP" at the top of the screen is extremely close to white or white. This indicates that the contrast of the monitor has been adjusted into brightness saturation.
