TRON - Line on rt. side of screen and flicker garbage between screens - Please Fix!

Well,

I'm wondering if any of you guys can fix Tron over 30 years later. Seems that a line of pixels is visible on all Trons and there is a brief blip of garbage in attract mode between screen changes. I was wondering if this could be some kind of program fix and if any of you guys who are programmers would be able to fix this? If so, I'm all into testing?
 
If you shove it off the screen, it effects playing the light cycle level. The right wall will no longer be your border...you will actually be able to drive on it/along it.
 
Agreed

I agree. I was able to shift the line off the screen. However, in tank board as well as light cycle level, the edges of the screen get cut off. Mame doesn't do this and the screen fits as it should. Hopefully there is a Rom fix or something.
 
No fix at all, like you said, someone needs to re program it somewhere, i am sure thats a large task (hate to be a pessimist but i highly doubt its gonna happen).
 
Tron Garbage

Well, hopefully someone can go forward and fix this. There's a lot of smart people that know how to program and do free play hacks. Hopefully someone could go forward.
 
This issue has been mention probably hundreds of times by people who think their game has an issue. I think the real answer is that this is the way the game was designed and therefore meant to be. I doubt there is enough interest or even desire to spend the time to fix this. Personally it doesn't bother me. BTW other games have this too although most others have it pushed far enough off the screen where it's not noticeable.
