Heh, It has been a looong time ago, but I have a feeling that my mind is not playing tricks on me...
Here, take this Karate Champ picture below as an example. I'm pretty sure I'm seeing horizontal lines in that image, and that's what I remember from my experience (note that this is a professional flyer and it's a picture from the real game monitor):
http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=flyer&db=videodb&id=5437&image=1
Take a look at the fighter's faces and at the red fighter clothes. Those are horizontal lines in the exact way I remember it. If someone has the actual KC machine to take us a picture of it which differs from the flyer, then I will shut my mouth about it.
So, is it possible to achieve the result from the image above in MAME? I would love to have horizontal scanlines in vertical games too because those vertical lines HSLS currently does don't feel 'right' to me
