I had added Asteroids' shot thickness/appearance with the HLSL vector.ini default to my recent long list of things tweak, then ran into this post by Arbee.

Is this still the case with MAME or have there been any changes in the last 3 years that might enable the simulation of the vector graphics for the ship's missile to look more like the original machine?
