again, why are you perfectly willing to accept non-authentic emulation (to the point of hiding messages that tell you the emulation is not authentic) yet get your panties in a twist over a white box. preaching authenticity in this case is absolutely comical.
if you can't see that you're the problem here...
as the whole Billy Mitchell thing shows, there are more problems with emulation than a white border on startup, people can still tell. It isn't authentic even for the classics.
