Are they really narrow diagonally repeating bands, or thicker bands?  A little more information would be helpful

they are very wide and together it makes the whole game flash white you still see the game and it is just for a secound .  I do not know if it is part of the game or not.

Turn on vsync.

[vartech]

sorry for the dum question but how?

[TalkingOctopus]

You can turn on vsync in mame.ini.  If you do not have a mame.ini, run "mame -cc" to create it.  Then under video options set  waitvsync to 1.

Is it just when you do a special or there's a lot of motion on screen at one time?

I think I get the same thing. It flashes white for like a split second, then kind of rolls once and holds. It's difficult to describe. Some moves it only happens once, others 2 or more.

I'm not sure what causes it but it's definitely irritating to most people. It may be that it's actually part of the game?

[vartech]

Mine happens during startup when it gives you the black screen with the words in the middle and during a lot o action on the screen.

[TalkingOctopus]

I don't understand the problem your describing.  All I know is that turning on vsync got rid of the diag flashing and made it like the arcade version for my TV.  There was an mvsc at my dorm (that nobody ever used) so I had plenty of opportunities to observe it.

[vartech]

please check the picture I posted it use to have a tear like shown, Now it is all white.  I just want to know is it part of the game? or do I have something wrong on my cab

[TalkingOctopus]

Yeah it is part of the game - the tear should not be there.  The screen is supposed to rapidly flash all white and give you seizures.

Thanks at least I feel now I can call my Cab completed less the pending light guns.  Waiting to see if act-labs makes new versions
