I am aware of this CPU/GPU thing, thats why RobeeJ hoped that someone could "translate" his code to a directX shader. I know a person, who could probably do this and thats why I am asking. It wouldnt make sense, if it is allready in MAME. Reading the topic, it looked like that many people liked his approach (including mogli).

I know that high Bloom settings, dont look nice, but high Raster Bloom still looks "natural", it is just overextended. Vector Bloom with slightly higher settings, creates "JPEG" like artefacts and I just wonder why.

Ok, I am dumb and dont know the difference. Has SDLMame any downsides? I read in GroovyMAME posts, that it can create higher input-lags, but maybe I just dont understand it. I just would like to test this shader (but if possible not on Linux), thats all.
