HW stretching, sharp picture??
« on: August 18, 2005, 01:06:42 pm »
I am forced to use Hardware stretching for some vertical games on my WG K7000 monitor in MAME, but i have noticed that the picture quality suffers quite a bit!, is there a way to make the picture sharper?, maybe some of the other GFX options within MAME??

If your card supports it, using D3D and turning off bilinear filter (instead of DirectDraw which enables it by default) will remove all filtering.

But try "effect sharp" first and see how that treats you.
