I've just started using HLSL to get that classic scan line look, and it works a treat — most of the time. However, I'm trying to get my channelf games to quadruple their scan lines (like the original console did). Not having any luck, though. The prescale option seems to do nothing, even though it seems like exactly what I want. Any clues?

What do you mean that the Channel F "quadruples the scanlines"? Do you have any pictures of this effect on real hardware?

(It would kinda have to, at this super low resolution!) EDIT: You can see it even better a bit later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBeokwN_5jg&t=5m9s Also, I probably should have included a screenshot so you can see what I'm getting: https://i.imgur.com/ACQBdb2.jpeg (The snapshot has somehow screwed up the aspect ratio, but you get the idea) Edited by Atario (06/17/21 05:59 PM) ICEknight MAME Fan Reged: 07/06/15 Posts: 166 Send PM Re: Fairchild Channel F and HLSL [Re: Atario] #391097 - 06/18/21 09:08 PM Reply Here's a direct comparison of real hardware versus current emulation: Haze Reged: 09/23/03 Posts: 5245 Send PM Re: Fairchild Channel F and HLSL [Re: ICEknight] #391099 - 06/18/21 09:42 PM Reply > Here's a direct comparison of real hardware versus current emulation: I guess the issue is that MAME treats the output resolution at 102x58 AFAIK No CRT is going to sync to a display of 58 lines, so the hardware doesn't output 58 lines. It outputs the same line 4 times before switching to the next to give a much more reasonable 232 Pernod Lurker Reged: 01/12/04 Posts: 82 Loc: UK Send PM Re: Fairchild Channel F and HLSL [Re: Haze] #391104 - 06/19/21 03:27 AM Reply > > It outputs the same line 4 times before switching to the next to give a much more > reasonable 232 There's a recent write up of the video hardware over at https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=20475 , so it seems PAL machines output the same line 5 times. Looks like the driver could do with an update based on this new information.

Those look nicer than mine… Also, your snapshot came out with the aspect ratio okay, how'd you do that?
