Summary 03663: tgm2, tgm2p: The warning boot screen has a black background which should be blue.
Description When the game boots up there is a sequence of screens:
1. rom check
2. warning screen
3. screen geometry
4. copyrights
etc

This problem is specific to the warning screen. The background is solid black and it should be solid blue. Attached is a picture showing a hardware video capture (left) and MAME (right).

Framestepping a video capture of the pcb booting up, I can say that the background actually first turns blue for the last 2 frames during which the rom check text is displayed.
Steps To Reproduce Boot the game and wait briefly.
Additional Information This may affect some boot screens in other games in this driver but I don't have those PCBs to compare with.

Fixed in r8055. These games are the only games not to set the 'alpha' field to a non-zero value in the screen clear line-fill data. I don't think that field is of any consequence in this context based on this, so I've removed the check. Other games set it to 0x80 (solid), 0x7F (completely opaque) and 0x00 would imply transparent, which clearly it's not.
I don't believe there's other games where this is evident.
