| 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. rampy |
