Do LED monitors really look this crappy with mame?

Thanks for reminding me. That DK with the artwork looks like the real deal. Just forgot to tell you two years ago.  :banghead:

New version for 0.152  available here:

My choice for a lcd-monitor is the Eizo fg2421. This is probably the best crt-like LCD around right now, and hlsl looks really amazing on this monitor.

Thank you! I tried to search for that thread for way to long before posting in this one, but I couldn't find it. Thanks for updating to the new version, I haven't messed with this much in the last 2 years.

Once I am done getting all of my controllers wired, and outputs working, then I am going to get back to the software. Hopefully that will be soon. I really need to work on Space Harrier. It definitely doesn't look great without any shader  tweaks.

I agree that the hlsl stuff can be as or more difficult that getting the right resolutions on an arcade monitor. It is still early in the development though, so it will probably get easier over time (since people like ZeroPoint are figuring out all of the hard stuff). There will be a lot of variations to handle though. The same shaders used on a 20" LCD are going to look completely different on a 50".

I'm extremely skeptical of this claim but have no way of testing it.

No need to test.  CRT lightguns rely on the scanning of the electron beam gun in a CRT, and use timing to figure out the location of that single point of light.  LCD's don't work even remotely similar, so it's not possible.

I think he was just seeing if he could get anyone to waste their time trying it.  ;)

Kinda made me wonder if an LCD could be made that drew the picture in the same order to simulate a CRT though.
It's not feasible with current protocols, but I wonder if it's technically possible.

What about the Multi-Sync LCD I mentioned earlier in the thread:

http://na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/monitors/49-2861-20

Anyone have any experience with these paired with an AVGA?

There would be no reason to pair one of those with an arcadevga. As it is an LCD it is just going to stretch whatever you toss at it to its native resolution anyway. You might as well just send it a 1360x768 signal in the first place.

8BitMonk:
For some reason I thought since it's listed as a multi-sync monitor it would do the lower refresh rates and resolutions. I guess it's just a standard LCD then?
