Fair enough mate.

You running that through Direct3D or DirectDraw? Looks exceptionally blurry

Hey, can someone hook me up with the right PNG file?

Im running mame on my plasma at 640 x 480 via vga.. just wondering what you think would look best? I usually go for about 50% scanlines on FBA and K fusion... cat find anything to my liking on mame though as of yet.

cheers

I can't help with cools' png but is your plasma 480 pixels tall? If not, you really want to be outputting to your plasma's native resolution. Repeat patterns don't scale well to a non-integer factor - let alone twice.

Also, compared to LCDs, I find plasmas tend to be quite kind to upscaled pixels without the scan lines.

I see... its 1024 x 768 (I think) It's a Panasonic P42X10

Here's a video of some mega drive (emulated) with scanlines just the way I like them lol..

It could be due to the differing resolutions of the specific system or game. There are so many options in Mame it's easier for you to have a play than it is for me to suggest trying something. For example, try out prescale set to off, 2 or 3 to best suit your TV and preference.
