Your work is excellent, but I’d like to point out a few minor issues.

The image above compares the final stage of the game. Notice how the sky has an orange hue in the NEO GEO version, while in the arcade version, it is blue. A similar issue occurs in the castle room—the floor and walls in the arcade version have a grayish tone, whereas in the NEO GEO version, they once again have an orange hue. But regarding the castle, I might be wrong—it could just be differences in screen color adjustments.

Another issue I’d like to mention is that the axe, after defeating Death Adder, takes almost twice as long to fall on him.

I also want to reinforce a bug that occurs in the hardest difficulty level. I have reported it before but haven’t received a response, so I’m bringing it up again: the health bar does not appear in the hardest level if we skip the dialogue with Alex at the beginning of the game. The bar only reappears after taking a hit.

Lastly, I’d also like to reinforce the feather bug—the ink is appearing on top of the feather, which seems strange to me.

Comments like yours are a good way to discourage someone from offering us many more hours of their hard work FOR FREE in the future.

I can see mentioning the feather because he might be interested. I think it might also be somewhat hardware specific. 

The comments about the colors being different in a few cases are completely unnecessary and come off as nit picking or OCD.

hOffman has acknowledged that there are some differences. 

Enjoy the game, say thank you, and don't nit pick.

I understand your perspective, but I respectfully disagree. I believe that community feedback is valuable in making the game even better, especially since it may go through revisions.

Some issues, like hardware limitations, might be difficult to address, but color differences seem like an easier fix and could make the port even more faithful to the arcade version.

The reason I mention these details is precisely because I appreciate and admire hOffman’s work. I enjoy contributing where I can, and since I tend to notice differences easily, I’d even be happy to help as a tester if he ever needed one.

That said, I truly appreciate hOffman’s efforts in bringing this to us for free. If he ever considers a crowdfunding campaign to support more NEO GEO ports, I’d certainly be interested in contributing!

I respectfully think you should consider that he knows he changed the color of the background.

I'm sure you as a tester would be a real treat.

I simply pointed it out because I thought it might be something worth adjusting in a future revision. I have a good eye for details and enjoy helping when possible. My goal is to contribute positively, as I appreciate the effort behind projects like this.

As a software developer of 30+ years, I would like to add that being 'nit picking or OCD' is how you fix bugs and reach a complete project. Returning to a complex project years later for an update isn't as fun as it sounds!

"A lot of effort went into getting this even more visually accurate than my previous port..." To me, this reads that pointing out the background isn't blue-morning but instead orange-evening could be extremely significant. There is no mention of this change in the release notes. As a result, I to would assume it's an overlooked bug.

Your comments were respectful, detailed, and informative. What the developer decides to do is up to them and xchester77 shouldn't be speaking for someone else. 

Peace.

As developer my self i think he would know all these and like he said up there fixing these glitches is not worth the effort .. I quote ```There are a few minor differences and some edge case glitches which I decided to leave as the amount of work to iron them out really outweight the results they would bring. After all, we wanna play it right?``` SO he knows of all of them this is not the same hardware it's a neogeo ..

The palette thing on stage 5 could well be a mistake on my part. Nobody brought it up in testing so i assumed it was correct.  This "might" get fixed in a later update when im not feeling quite so sick.

The feather bug is not getting fixed. I'll not go into the technical detail as to why but this was the best solution for that reveal.
