Which MAME scanline effect do you prefer?
patrickl:
I've just tried scanlines again. With Galaga it actually didn't look that bad, but on many other games it's just a mess.
The way I see it, the real benefit of an arcade monitor is not so much the scanlines, but the fact that the images get smoothed out a bit. If you are looking for a smoother image then a much better result can be obtained with the Image Enhancement algorithms in Mame32Plus. Personally I like "Derek's 2xSal" (allthough it's a bit too smooth for some games). A game like Out Run really looks a lot better with this on.
But then I read "better" as "better current performance" rather than "better authenticity".
Oldskool:
I use a PC monitor, and I LOVE SCANLINES.
So there :-*
shmokes:
It doesn't really make sense for anyone using a TV or Arcade monitor to be posting in this thread does it? I mean, the purpose of scanlines is to make a PC monitor look like a TV/Arcade Monitor if I understand correctly. Why would someone with an arcade monitor attempt to emulate an arcade monitor?
jerryjanis:
Even those of us with arcade monitors are forced to play mame on a PC monitor sometimes.
CGRemakes:
One quick question. I switched from using regular Mame32 to AdvanceMAME, and had a question on my monitor. Are these the figures I'm supposed to enter for the pclock, hclock and vclock (I have a Dell M992):
http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/monitors/M992/En/specs.htm
When I enter in 28.322-202.50, 31.469-93.750, and 70.087-75.000, all the resolutions are listed as "out of range" by advv. If they are not, does anyone know what the correct values are? (I don't have the manual anymore, sorry)
