These scaling methods do not attempt to simulate the appearance of real arcade machines in any way (as e.g. MAME's HLSL framework does with the scanlines, phosphor triads, CRT curvature, etc, etc) so we are not interested. If you want to pretend arcade games looked like something they didn't that's your prerogative but MAMEdev is not in that business.
