most arcade stuff got cropped, most home stuff didn't

apparently people hate uncropped images, and use it as a stick to beat emulators with, even if in some cases it's important it looks glitchy to people.

nobody has a comprehensive list, especially not for arcade systems, because nowhere near the level of research has been done on them.

the screenshot you post isn't the best example anyway because it shows what happens with certain monitors when CPS1 games set the background colour (they glitch out and produce that gradient) moreso than anything else (with the brand of monitors the games officially shipped with that problem doesn't occur)
