Green areas on screen
« on: December 30, 2004, 12:28:27 pm »
Hey guys,
On my Mortal Kombat machine I noticed that on some parts when the game is playing there seems to be a greenish area surounding certain objects in game..

Are your whites too bright? Sometimes if you play with the POTs (potentiometers--those knobs that control red, green, blue, brightness, etc) it helps a little.

so you guys think a CAP kit will solve that color "bleeding" problem im having? It kindove does it a little with red too.. but mostly green sorta appears in streaks around objects and such. Anything else you guys think it might be too?

Capkit first then see how it looks. If still not correct then turn down the "Color Cutoff" controls on the neck board for those particular colors.

They do now... they did not 20 years ago.  Your monitor is old.
