Which MAME scanline effect do you prefer?

<< < (5/6) > >>

patrickl:
I've just tried scanlines again. With Galaga it actually didn't look that bad, but on many other games it's just a mess.

The way I see it, the real benefit of an arcade monitor is not so much the scanlines, but the fact that the images get smoothed out a bit. If you are looking for a smoother image then a much better result can be obtained with the Image Enhancement algorithms in Mame32Plus. Personally I like "Derek's 2xSal" (allthough it's a bit too smooth for some games). A game like Out Run really looks a lot better with this on.

But then I read "better" as "better current performance" rather than "better authenticity".

Oldskool:

I use a PC monitor, and I LOVE SCANLINES.

So there  :-*

shmokes:
It doesn't really make sense for anyone using a TV or Arcade monitor to be posting in this thread does it?  I mean, the purpose of scanlines is to make a PC monitor look like a TV/Arcade Monitor if I understand correctly.  Why would someone with an arcade monitor attempt to emulate an arcade monitor?

jerryjanis:
Even those of us with arcade monitors are forced to play mame on a PC monitor sometimes.

CGRemakes:
One quick question.  I switched from using regular Mame32 to AdvanceMAME, and had a question on my monitor.  Are these the figures I'm supposed to enter for the pclock, hclock and vclock (I have a Dell M992):

http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/monitors/M992/En/specs.htm

When I enter in 28.322-202.50, 31.469-93.750, and 70.087-75.000, all the resolutions are listed as "out of range" by advv.  If they are not, does anyone know what the correct values are?  (I don't have the manual anymore, sorry)
