Encountered behavior

Rapidly flashing blue light during the Egg Viper boss fight.

Installed mods

Steps to reproduce:

During the Final Egg boss fight, when the boss is charging the attack that requires for Sonic to use the homing attack across 3 parts of the tail to reach Eggman, the whole screen flashes blue rapidly. From what I've tried, it only happens when both Dreamcast Conversion and Lantern Engine mods are active together. When either of the mods is not active, this issue doesn't happen.

It's an effect from the Dreamcast version that was recreated in Dreamcast Conversion.

I didn't remember this effect existing in the original, but after checking a few videos, I see now that the problem is that the effect in the conversion mod is way too strong (which hurts in the eyes), I don't think the effect was this strong in the Dreamcast version.

I did compare it with the original as I was recreating it, and I think it ended up accurate enough, for my taste anyway. There are no plans to tone down the effect or introduce any options related to it. Since this is not an issue with Lantern Engine, I'm closing this.

EDIT: I must add that I'm still interested in an exact recreation of this effect, so if I ever figure out how exactly it's done on DC I will implement a better version of it.
