How many use scanlines in MAME?

AE35:

Hey!

I was wondering how many of you are using scanlines and other FX
in MAME? And at what setting?

Thanks,

Nicholas

Not me - I even run Mame on a pc monitor! I prefer sharper graphics over authenticity...
Turnarcades:
I totally agree.
I run my cabinet with a TV so don't need any of those effects. The low resolution smoothes it all out nicely whilst retaining the brightness and definition.

Even on a monitor I would say no effects looks better. Although, on certain emulators the engines can make the graphics look nicer, such as te SAI engine in ZSNES etc.
Howard_Casto:
Agreed.  Btw Aaron pretty much agrees with this as well.  Scanlines aren't exactly in mame anymore (although you can fake it with a custom overlay sent through the effect flag). 

It's the old addage of "you can't polish a turd."  Most arcade games had really low resolution.  All effects are going to do is basically blurr the image.  The edges will get smoother but you will also loose detail.

*shrug* I like lipstick on my pig I guess ;)

I used to like the cheezy old mame skip a line with black faux scanline effect.

Been meaning to try out the new arpeture (spelling) effects, but haven't gotten around to it.
