Fear Effect background is too dark. Character shadow is too light

Fear Effect background is too dark and off color. Here is comparison of psx core and Duckstation.

PSX_unstable_20231203_060c3e.rbf

Duckstation 0.1-6283-g1d751d33

I've been trying to find some one with PS1Digital to verify on real console but I could only get a very bright phone camera shot. But the person said that Duckstation looks closer to real hdmi modded PS1.

Character shadow is too light. Duckstation is also too light. Here is phone camera shot of real PS1 on composite.

Some one here please verify these issues. Thank you.

@RobertPeip Here's a photo I just took of the game in Duckstation. Either it was fixed or you're doing something wrong.

I can't reproduce the light shadow and with the latest changes the background looks the same as Duckstation.

Shadow looks correct and bg is much improved with PSX_unstable_20240830_18a2d7.rbf. Shadow issue was most likely problem with my mister.

@paulb-nl MDEC is super close to real hardware looking at this comparison provided by Robert. Will there be further improvement? Otherwise I'd like to close this issue. Thank you so much for the fix.

I don't think there will be any improvements from me in the short term so you can close this issue.

Where is that background image from in the comparison?

Ok cool.

The comparison image is from Jakub Czekański's ps1-tests I think.
