Anyone know more about this or have some resources to share on the subject?

Mr. Do from the MAME team would know better than anyone.  I think he has an account on this forum or you could contact on the mameworld.info forums.

"wpcmame" from these boards would actually know.  He created a 'clean stretch patch' for MAME's D3D mode which was rejected by mamedev for whatever reason.  I'm not sure if he views the boards enough to see this though.  I have still been meaning to get around to trying out his patch.  See this thread:

I personally hope that someday MAMEDEV will incorporate something similar to this patch in the official build.

Here is a previous discussion we had on the topic:

Mr. Do replied in there. I'm still thinking Tempest is the best cabinet choice for this, or something with a sleek sloped back shape like that.

well.. if you slant the monitor back.. Like in a pacman.. then the "marquee" area of the monitor is going to be in a weird spot..  I would say you should mount the monitor straight up and down.   you could place the speakers directly under the monitor.


ark_ader:
I would like to see a serious Pinmame attempt with the type of display as discussed. 

Using such a big screen with mame would ruin the experience IMHO.

I always thought arcade cabs were personal one on one. 

With a 42" you would lose that unless it was a virtual fighter game type scenario.
