I am using an older MAME and using screen effects (.png that overlays on the game screen). Why am I using an older version and not using the shaders? It is because I am running this in a mini bar top and I only had room for a lower spec single board PC. I wanted the frame rate to be playable and it is smooth the way I have it. It doesn't have the horsepower for the newest MAME with the shaders.
I have a screen effect .png that simulates scanlines in raster games in MAME .117. When I load vector games that effect still shows up as scanlines and ruins it. How do I set it to automatically shut off the effect when a vector game is loaded or is that not possible? I have the MAME.ini with the effect on, and a vector.ini shows effect as none but it still shows it anyway. Any ideas? Is this a bug in this MAME version or am I doing something wrong? Should I do something different to hide screen effects for vector games but show for raster?
