video card / drivers? any 'HLSL is broken' report needs that information as a bare minimum so that we can see if it's just you or everybody with that config ;)

Graphically it (Tempest) looks fine for me.  It's just the sound that's off.  There is sound, but it's vague and distorted.  This is with HLSL on or off.  Its the same in both the official build and my own build (both x64).

I have an older computer.  I'm starting to think it's probably just worth me staying on .148.  I am having this problem even with hlsl disabled.  My computer is:

Intel Celeron 2.70GHz
Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
Video BIOS Version 2897
Intel Graphics Miniport Driver Version 6.14.10.3943

Running Windows XP.

Not sure if this is all the info or where I should go to give anything more.  Attached is a screenshot of what I get when I launch any game, and my mame.ini.

Yeah, it's pretty nice now in color vecs, though still not as nice as AAE. You have to create tricks to get trail-y shots in Asteroids Deluxe, and it's still not great. Raster HLSL is a little wonky now, too. Vector blossom is nice, but I can hold off a bit.  I'll have to address those other points later....

Yeah color vectors don't look bad, but there are some oddities with interactions of the glow and multiple vectors. Black and white vectors look OK as long as the don't make heavy use of intensity. Solar Quest looks good, but AD and Star Castle look bad. I'm sure there are some tweaks in the settings that will help, but right now I can't get Star Castle to show a different intensity when the shield is damaged, for example.

Still, it's a pretty good first attempt and even if it doesn't look as good as AAE it's already better just from not blacking out after 25 mins and not having all of AAEs controller and orientation issues.
