Satan has no boxes

This may be one of those who cares, but I played Satan’s Hollow and I remembered that when I played the game when it first came out; it would flash white boxes. But I see no white boxes. Weeks go by and I go on YouTube and it recommended this video (https://youtu.be/9vE8IQh11gU?t=1024) on Satan’s Hollow. I watch and around 17:04 it shows and talks about the white boxes. He believes it’s to do with the game’s hardware. Weird, now I miss those stupid white boxes.

The comparisons they make between MAME and original Arcade hardware is interesting.
Although, I believe they may be trying MAME with raw/basic video output only. For example, the illusion of "SATANS" shaking does occur in the title if HLSL/BGFX (CRT) effects are utilized.
An item that is definitely missing from MAME when compared to the original Arcade hardware, regarding the title screen, is as soon as the draw across for the "H" in HALLOW starts, there is a dot that appears between 1 and the I. It happens every time on the hardware in the video from the OP.
The same thing came be seen in other original Arcade hardware videos too, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Z1kkY8DtA right around the 1:05 mark, again at ~1:45, and really good, up-close captures at 2:23 and 3:16.

Does the attached show the "white boxes" that you're remembering? This example is between the displaying of the title screen and the point values table in the video.
