MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: I feel like I'm missing something when it comes to HLSL

These settings get me to 90% of my cabinet's look. I have to turn up the brightness on my display to get the remaining 5%.

It's an older CE cabinet and the previous owner didn't take very good care of it. Nevertheless, the effects have to be set to be mostly subtle otherwise it starts to look like a REALLY badly mangled monitor-- of which I've seen a few and even emulated briefly with HLSL just to see if I could get it.
