I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

Build a cabinet.
I don't really get the preference for a curved tube. I just want the display native resolution. Could be a 19" arcade monitor in an original cab, a 27" arcade monitor like in my candy, or a 27" flat screen arcade multi-sync like on my main rig. (Although, I have gotten some great effects rendering at 800x600 and 1024x768, depending on the game and settings.)
@jcrouch: I just looked up Aztarac. Curious game. You get three lives - unless the base gets taken, and then the game's just fuckin over. ?? Great vector graphics, though (perhaps more powerful hardware was used). None of that stuttering star movement like in Star Wars. And the there are almost perfect circles drawn. Oh, also, if you leave the base, you can go indefintely away from it, the hitch being when the base is over run. So, in a sense, it's a very early real simulator.

I'd really like to do the fishbowl effect in mame too. Tracked down stretchmame0.65, but there's no documentation with it and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that effect. Little help?

This isn't really fishbowl effect I guess, it's more like 3D effect. I have StretchMAME 0.59 build 020404. From the readme:
Quote:
================================= StretchMAME 0.59 build 020404 ================================= (2002/04/04 release)
What is StretchMAME? -------------------------------
StretchMAME is one of the clone MAME. It has the following features. - Spurious motion-blur - Blur-less stretching - Spurious 3D view (keystone transform) - Rotation, Expansion, Reduction
StretchMAME requires Direct3D. So you need 3D accelerator.
What is 'Spurious motion-blur'? -------------------------------
Most arcade games do not have a translucence function. So they express translucence by blink. Then, spurious motion blur, this function mades true translucence by compounding with the last frame.
This function is effective in the following game. Quiz Nanairo Dreams: Nijiirotyou no Kiseki DoDonPachi Macross Macross II Mazinger Z Altered Beast Moon Walker Alien Storm Uo Poko
In the other games, shadows, lasers, and flames are beautiful. Be attension, frame skipping makes hard to see. You need very fast PC. Moreover, since DirectX7 is used, it does not work on WindowsNT4.0.
What is 'Spurious 3D view (keystone transform)'? ------------------------------------------------
It makes perspective view looks like 3D games. In case you use this function, don't use windowed mode.
Usage -----
This is a command-line version without GUI.(like official MAME) At the first time, don't forget -createconfig. It makes INI file.
following options are added.
* -[no]spurious-motion-blur / -[no]smb Enables or disables spurious-motion-blur.
* -[no]bilinear-filter / -[no]blf Enables or disables bilinear-filer. When disabled (which is the default), StretchMAME stretches without blur. You can get blur-less hw stretch.
* rotation Clockwise angle of the screen.
* zoomx * zoomy
* keystone-ratio

From video.c:
Code:
// added by smame { "spurious-motion-blur", "smb", rc_bool, &win_motionblur, "1", 0, 0, NULL, "spurious motion blur" }, { "bilinear-filter", "blf", rc_bool, &win_bilinear, "0", 0, 0, NULL, "stretch with bilinear filter" }, { "rotation", NULL, rc_float, &f_rotation, "0.0", -360.0, 360.0, video_set_rotation, "rotation(degree)" }, { "zoomx", NULL, rc_float, &win_zoomx, "1.0", -10.0, 10.0, NULL, "zoom x" }, { "zoomy", NULL, rc_float, &win_zoomy, "1.0", -10.0, 10.0, NULL, "zoom y" }, { "keystone-ratio", NULL, rc_float, &f_keystone_ratio, "1.0", 0.1, 10.0, video_set_keystone, "Keystone ratio(U/D)" }, { NULL, NULL, rc_end, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, NULL }
I don't have the original settings I used back then when I took the snapshot but these seem to be pretty close (from smamepp.ini):
Code:
zoomx 0.700000 zoomy 0.700000 keystone-ratio 0.600000
I wonder what smame is up to these days.

Thanks Andrew!
Apparently the 0.65 version I downloaded doesn't have these features. I grabbed 0.59 and this worked.
Not really the fishbowl effect, but it got me thinking. The keystone effect allows you to basically tilt the image inward at the top (by setting it between 0 and 1) or tilt the image inward at the bottom (by setting it between 1 and 10). I'm wondering if it would be possible to separate the screen into top half and bottom half, and tilt each half in slightly. This might give a sort of fishbowl effect. Would love to play with the source for this and see if it's possible! Might be beyond my skills, but I'd like to give it a go.
Do you know where I can get the source for this? Zophar's domain has the 0.65 source and binary (neither of which contain this feature) and the 0.59 binary. I can't seem to find any download of stretchmame anywhere else on the net...
