The second actually looks more authentic to me. Games in the wild never seemed to look as pretty as the ones in our basements. Dingy fits. :) |

It's based off of scanlines75x4 with an additional lighter scanline above and below to make it look more 3 dimensional. Probably not good for all games but I like it on my SFIII:3S :) The scanline I've made here is really subtle. I agree that Mame default scanlines are super over the top and hard to look at but I think there's a way to get them right. |

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I just rotated Althor's scanrez2 and I really like that. Also bumped the contrast up as suggested. So far, so good. |

However, I've never felt this need as a lot of people do to bring back those visual effects that I consider to be quite vile like scanlines etc, particularly when the MAME effects tend to use extra processing power to pull them off. Maybe it's just me and the fact my eyes always kind of sucked, but I think I much prefer the clearer image that PC's can provide. At most I use interpolation or similar to soften the edges a little on most platforms besides MAME, but the black interruptions of scanlines and speckles from other effects hurt my eyes over time. --- End quote --- Agreed. Scanlines was never something the devs intended, it was something they had to live it. Still, I can appreciate some want that "arcade" feel. To that, I'd say "can I come over and burn a cig on your CP?" ;) |

I do agree that if I was that obsessed with scan lines, I'd just use an arcade monitor. Have 3 MAME cabs and none of them do, and thats fine. I'm more into playing the games. I do have a couple dedicated machines with arcade monitors, and there is something to be said about playing it on the old hardware. I've had like 3 games that are in MAME, and the original hardware plays slightly different. Slower, actually. The games are harder in MAME. |
