New Retropie user with questions about MAME!

@mahoneyt944 Correct 1st level color should be magenta while older mame was vermilion, they don't seem that close to me, and there are differences on other colors.
This isn't about monitor settings or it would affect other redish colors the same way (see hiscore letters at the top), this is about resnet (resistance-based color calculation) not being properly emulated in older mame.
Sure, if you removed/replaced the resistors on the cabinet, the colors would be different, and would be even more different if you played around with the crt's colorimetry, but i believe the point here is to inform the user about the differences from an original unmodified cabinet.
I'm not telling you to fix that emulation since some players like it that way, but i think it should be properly documented, your list will never be accurate if you don't try to fix it.

@barbudreadmon just for reference in what we are talking about for anyone else who may be interested in this topic, here's a screenshot from fbneo and one from mame2003-plus. Yes the colors are slightly different but I don't see it as a reason for concern personally.... certainly more important things to focus on.
As far as the lists being accurate, it's a self generated webpage built from the source code's dat. So anyone who wants to submit a PR is welcome to do so, including for this concern. I designed these lists to be, for the most part, self sustaining so it doesn't require a devs tribal knowledge to maintain them. It's probably the most accurate representation of the cores current state there ever was. It's not perfect because the source code is not perfect which requires the community to participate 🙂.
