I've PMed you today MG. See what I say about HLSL there...
Last night I had an epifany while giving HLSL another shot. Man, what a difference!! Just to you guys to have an idea on what it looks like now, I'll try to make some screenthots with my HLSL settings on it and put it side by side to some original arcade monitor photos I have, from both final fight and pit-fighter for comparison. Now I think that HLSL is the way to go!
