Please follow the reporting rule and format. This is not a critical issue.
I fixed the summary and affected set too.

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.

Worth noting that there are at least 3 different types of picture output for this game - and it will be difficult to make it match 'everything' out there.

1) Normal Nintendo board - inverted video output
2) Normal Nintendo board with non-inverted video output - has potentiometers to adjust R/G/B
3) Bootleg board, non inverted non adjustable output

 The existance of #2 will make it difficult to find accurate comparison videos. 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.

Additional note: Output for 1) is taken from the 2) potentiometers which adjust
  RGB. 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.

Looked at all examples again in mameworld thread. Let's close this. 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.
