If by "arcade cores" you mean only the Jotego ones which were previously restricted to the 5 hardcoded selection that you mention, he has already updated those to use the full spectrum of video processing adjustments (i.e. presets, filters and .txt shadow masks). Run update_all with the 'JTCORES for MiSTer' option enabled in the .ini

As of last Friday, 'jtframe' supports the same exact functionality you can expect from the official framework (as implemented in most of the console, and some of the computer cores).

If you're not a "patron" of Jotego's, you will not be able to assign controls in the beta cores and play, but you certainly get to see/adjust all the other 'standard' features of the framework. There are also many cores he has released to the public, such as the "Kicker" one lately, so why you don't just try?

For example the Golden Ax that is from JT, for you what is the amount of Shadow Mask available? for me only 5 and I'm a patron and I ran Update_all!

The dude above obviously got hold of an expired key for some redundant Jotego betas, so he's reluctant to update to the newest featured releases which would require an ongoing Patreon pledge.

So, who's at fault here? He who's stomping his feet demanding the latest features for an evolving open source project as if it's in his absolute "consumer right" (for which he did -mind you- have to invest quite a lot of real money judging by his country of origin, Brazil, with its exorbitant import taxes), or Jotego who's pursuing a luring (and lucrative) "marketing" policy?

I'm in no way pointing fingers left or right, just something to ponder about.
