The NEW Build Your Own Arcade Controls

I recently upgraded my computer, and downloaded a new copy of mame and transferred the roms. I went to play and the video quality was much less crisp then before. All of my video settings are on auto (except the video output). I tried switching from d3d to OpenGL and there was no difference in quality. I use mame to play games such as galaga, so it’s not a very detailed game, yet the text and game itself seems much lower quality then before. The game plays fine, no skipping or anything. Any help? I was thinking it might be a setting I need to change, or something like that. Any response helps.
Thanks, Zach

Are you using on board graphics or a PCI-e add on, or...
Details of computer before and computer now are necessary for any helpful feedback (which I am probably NOT the best resource for- but you never know-)
Processor type and speed
Graphics card and display used
MAME build type and version # (and roms version too- which really need to match)
Etc...
A good emulation system is a cocktail that can taste awful after altering one ingredient.
And even the old 8 bit games (my personal favorites) are more demanding than you think (when faithfully emulated) and every update of MAME gets better- and therefore even more demanding.
Someone here wiser than me (most are) will chime in if you ask a question with details specific enough to answer clearly.
Happy Holidays!

Change "filter" to 0.

What file would I change this in? Mame.ini?

I am using a Lenovo 510a with a 8th gen i3, onboard graphics, a 27 inch 1080p monitor. I know this may make some people cringe, but I am upgrading from a core 2 duo optiplex that was able to (mostly) play the games in playing like galaga, and was much more crisp/high quality than atm with my new setup.

Yes
