This is kinda offtopic but I'll try to make it detailed enough so that there aren't any questions. I found them originally in the GGPO (good game peace out) package and upon further inspection realized that the emulator running them was Final Burn Alpha. I'd absolutely LOVE to see these blitters in MAME. FBA is open source so I don't see why they couldn't make an appearance in a custom mame compile (I know nothing about programming such things though). They're incredible, check them out if you have the chance. For now I'll be running FBA over MAME until I can find a compile with these types of blitters.

1) To get to Jan's D3D7 blitters, Go to:
Video > Select Blitter > Enhanced (Direct3D 7)

2) To turn on some of the best scanlines I've seen in an emu, Go to:
Video > Blitter Options > Enable Scanlines

3) To turn on the tube effect, Go to:
Video > Blitter Options > 3d Projection

4) To adjust the angle of the tube effect (to make it look more or less recessed in a cabinet), Go to:
Video > Blitter Options > Set 3d Projection Properties

5) To set 4x High Quality rendering, Go to:
Video > SoftFX Algorithm > HQ4x Filter

6) Set your desired fullscreen resolution, aspect ratio, etc. and load up a FBA supported game.

7) Alt - Enter to get into fullscreen mode.

8) Enjoy your pseudo-CRT ala LCD screen

That's nice, what are the handles for, dare I ask? Rotating the monitor? That looks pretty slick!
