White Settings Display Background and Font

Unread post by Zodypop »

I've noticed on a small handful of cores, when I F12 into the settings, the background of the settings screen, instead of being red with white lettering, has a white background with white lettering. It makes it impossible to make changes to the settings.

A few examples of games that do this: Gun Smoke, Mega Man

For reference, I'm using a Mistercade but with an LCD display through the VGA output set to 31khz horizontal (and then I just rotate the monitor for vertical games).

Something seems off with your colors. The mister menu is usually black background with white text. The games you mentioned are Jotego cores, the menu in his cores should be a grey background with white text. How are you hooking up your video? Maybe check the Sync on green switch on your analog board if you're using that?

I'm using the VGA out to an LCD currently. This affects the colors somewhat but, interestingly, no matter how I oversaturate or undersaturate the colors through my LCD menu, it does not make the text visible against the background. I guess I'm going to have to haul an arcade monitor down here to see if I get the same issue with output through the jamma harness rather than VGA.
