How many use scanlines in MAME?

It's the old addage of "you can't polish a turd." Most arcade games had really low resolution. All effects are going to do is basically blurr the image. The edges will get smoother but you will also loose detail.

Yeah, but you can tighten the loose detail with a detail wrench.
Scanlines=yes

I used to like the cheezy old mame skip a line with black faux scanline effect.
Been meaning to try out the new arpeture (spelling) effects, but haven't gotten around to it.

Rampy? <rubs eyes> Is it really you? Nice to see you again!
I was wondering the other day (during the scan line debate) why they don't just use an overlay channel to act like a coarse dot pitch monitor. It seems to me that an approach like that could work, but would require a fast video card and tons of resolution. What's the deal with the "aperture" effects? Along the same lines?

Hi Randy! It's really me. Been busy with real life and running my knock off BYO community BYOPVR I still love my keywiz max, BTW!
I don't know the details, and don't seem to be able to invoke the new effects properly for some reason, to see the results *sigh* It keeps saying "unable to load blahblah.png" and i'm reasonably sure the path is correct. You go away for a little bit and it's like starting over on the software front... as far as command line options and front end configuration.
