hi guys, thanks for the input, as for the graphics being block what i meant was that games like the Simpson's and ninja turtles look really bad sort of like Lego people ( especially the outside lines of the character's they look like they were made of squares), i know there old games and are 2 d but they look terrible on my monitor ( i have played the arcade machines and they look 10x better)anothey thing is my current prcesser is extreemly slow and they keep lagging. As for spending that much on a computer I had alot of credit with dell and i wanted to get as much bang for my buck as i could , most of the games i play are side scrollers. Another one i dig is robocop but it looks blurry on my computer, thanks again for all the info Im just starting out with mame and your help is much appreciated. Ron |

They naturally blur the image, so you can't see how blocky it is. |

You would be AMAZED at how much better a computer monitor looks in a cab if you crack it open and put it just slightly off focus. |

I'm using a Radeon 7000 card in the Mac that's in my cab, and it does this automatically using the old Rage/RAVE filters. I haven't tried to tweak my PC setup much because it's not in a cab yet, but I would assume there are counterparts to the filters I'm using built into it somewhere. |
