**Click 'show more' to see timestamps of effect** I noticed while studying Buriki One that it was still missing some sprites, sprites that were shown in real hardware videos with a fake transparency 'checkerboard' effect, similar to that seen on Saturn games. It turns out this is a hardware feature of the Hyper64, and MAME was instead treating the flag to enable the effect as a 'skip sprite' flag. I added rendering of the effect, it's used to provide fake transparent backgrounds for some text on Buriki One and Samurai Shodown 64's high score page / win quotes, as well as the larger versions of the 'Go' text on Beast Busters 2.
