MAME 0.243 (29 Apr 2022) contains a bugfix for the emulation of R-Type Leo, which runs on the IREM M92 platform.

All previous versions of MAME fail to render the flicker effect correctly when you spawn / respawn after a death. Your ship, rather than flickering would either be rendered using the regular palette, or the whitened palette for every frame of the invulnerability period, meaning that sometimes you had no idea if the effect was active or not.

Older versions also often rendered the 2nd player with the incorrect colours (either corrupt or matching the first player) on initial spawn.

The short, no-commentary video shows the fixed version of the emulation.
