Well it looks much better than the previous PNG overlays, but I was wondering:
Can I turn off
- Convergence mismatch
- Curvature
- Composite decolorations
It is OK to simulate CRT, but not to simulate its faults.

Been playing around with the HLSL options and the scanline PNG file in url of my post just above still looks loads better than anything i can get with HLSL :(

I've been playing around with it myself and got some very good results. One of the problems was that
a: I have a high res LCD that doesn't look amazing in lower resolutions (see b)
b: I like the crispy pixelated look of old arcade games, it feels more authentic.
c: At high resolution, the standard scan line art that comes with Mame is so sharp it can cut a man into pieces. Super tiny lines, impossible to make out, doesn't look great.
So, I found that you can use D3d without the antialiasing look of hwstretching if you input -noflt (no filter)
Then, I used one of these two scanline PNG files (I copied them from other designs and rescaled them, pick one or make your own!)
Looks-a-good to me!
