Re: Here's a good example of how the colors in Popeye are different

A photo or video of a CRT monitor will almost always differ from what's actually output to it due to differences in each monitor's settings; also differences with the arcade operator who thought that's how the colours should be*. The only correct way to take proper screenshots and videos is by using a video capture device hooked up directly to the PCB's output, like those at http://arcadecollecting.com/shots.html.

* In the gam(bl)ing industry, many Aristocrat monitors (Ceronix) from MK5 and MK6 games come in with wrong colours due to technicians calibrating the monitor so reel strips become white, when in fact they should be a pale yellow in the majority of games.

In the web site above, it clearly shows that the girders in DK, from a real board, are a pinkish tint.
