greets folks
i was looking at a 'moon patrol' flyer and liking how the screenshot of the game looked on the flyer.. pic here:
im a noob with hlsl/video effects in mame, i'd be interested to see anyone try and have a go in mame of recreating the effect like in the pic linked above, (or something not too far off perhaps?)
or failing that, it would be nice to see some hlsl users screen grabs from the game 'moon patrol' (using their own favorite settings), and then we can all argue (um, debate) about who's looks best

What are you liking about it? The colors are a bit washed out. I played a Moon Patrol recently, and MAME isn't far off. The shadow mask is pretty well simulated with stock HLSL.

Apologies is I have this wrong (it often happens). But are you asking how to get the image precisely like the picture shown - or how to get scanlines?
What I mean to ask is - do you currently know how to access HLSL?
Stupid question, I expect, but sometimes it helps to ask them.

i was just wondering with an example game (moon patrol) how it looks on different folks setups who have been using and tweaking hlsl settings
i think im more of a shadow mask fan than a scanlines fan

I've found a pretty good HLSL config that is almost iddentical to this picture of the flyer. I'll try to take some pictures to post here later today.

I'm awful curious.
@grog: oh, thanks. By the way, alt+F4 and pasting to, say, paint gives an 'internal' view.

This is the closest I could get, but I hope this is enough to win the contest . The colors are not the same from the flyer, but far as I remember, the colors in MAME are perfect. The color of that screenshot in the flyer is off, it certainly is a photo taken from a monitor back in the day (not a screenshot of the actual game) and those colors may have been changed during the flyer printing process, which is not that difficult to happen. Printer calibration impacts a lot when compared to the real thing too. I did some color tweaking to try matching the colors on the flyer but it's pretty hard, this is the closest I could get:

The shadow mask is different. Pretty close, though. Pretty ugly, too.

I agree. I only used these settings to get closer to that flyer. But that flyer is pretty ugly too, way too aggressive.
