Thanks, great find! I added it to the list!

I read there:

Based on upstream Robbbert/hbmame tag2894 (commit 769c449), plus one backported fix from MAME (mamedev/mame#16649): bgfx on Metal no longer shows a cyan first frame. The backport will be dropped once HBMAME includes it upstream.

Are you interested to include the fix in HBMAME? It will make the compiling easier for this person.

[Robert]

Once the fix is included in MAME then it will get into HBMAME within a day or so.
