I know we’ve talked about being FLASH free several times but I can’t remember what the deal was exactly. I can see KOF97 being a problem, KOF98 has less FLASH, IIRC. I can see most Samurai games being a major problem. When did they add the FLASH switch (test mode menu in the MVS games)? I think 2003 has it. (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
Pretty sure it's just mostly because I don't get enough sleep, and then maybe to a much lesser degree because of the tricky lighting in my low-ceilinged apartment doing a little additional messing with my eyes. Working on the sleep thing, doing better at it now than I was a year ago--can finally play 2003, even though you can't turn off supers (and their screen flash fx; 98 and 2000 let you turn off supers, which I do; don't like supers anyhow :p). The Flash option in KOFs to turn off the red screen flash FX started in '98, the year after that Pokemon episode with the strobing red/blue sequence gave 300 Japanese kids seizures. It always defaults to ON though, and as far as I can see on YouTube, nearly everyone leaves the darn thing on. :P So I can play 98 and later KOFs, for the most part, but I can't watch other peoples' videos of them. ; ) And yeah SamSho is really bad, Last Blade is pretty bad too--really just about any typical NEOGEO game (plus the new SS is also still bad ; ). FF series mostly doesn't have the red screen flash.
