--- Quote from: Howard_Casto on September 27, 2006, 04:08:31 pm ---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. --- End quote --- Yeah, but you can tighten the loose detail with a detail wrench. Scanlines=yes |

Been meaning to try out the new arpeture (spelling) effects, but haven't gotten around to it. rampy --- End quote --- Rampy? <rubs eyes> Is it really you? Nice to see you again! I was wondering the other day (during the scan line debate) why they don't just use an overlay channel to act like a coarse dot pitch monitor. It seems to me that an approach like that could work, but would require a fast video card and tons of resolution. What's the deal with the "aperture" effects? Along the same lines? RandyT |

RandyT --- End quote --- Hi Randy! It's really me. Been busy with real life and running my knock off BYO community BYOPVR I still love my keywiz max, BTW! I don't know the details, and don't seem to be able to invoke the new effects properly for some reason, to see the results *sigh* It keeps saying "unable to load blahblah.png" and i'm reasonably sure the path is correct. You go away for a little bit and it's like starting over on the software front... as far as command line options and front end configuration. E. |
