Home Page Forums MAME MAME SVN builds - new driver flood

c'mon, this is an ugly hack.

The LCD persistence isn't a feature of the video chip, and shouldn't be emulated in the driver, it's misleading and wrong. It's a feature of the output screen device and should be emulated as an option in the core like the scanlines etc. If you hooked a gamegear up to a normal monitor somehow you wouldn't see it.

There are plenty of arcade games which flicker graphics to display them as transparent / half-bright (neogeo life-bars come to mind) but it's not up to the driver to simulate that behavior just because the flicker is more obvious on a PC monitor.
