Never give up. Never surrender.
Look... I really, REALLY like that HLSL, BGFX, and these other settings are included in MAME now, to give people the option of making their screen look more like the real arcade monitor.
But... I understand fuck all of how any of it works, and I consider myself fairly intelligent here.
Every so often, people come on the messageboard here and post settings of how they have certain games setup, best settings for vector games, best for horizontal/vertical, etc. But then those posts get washed away later, and I can never find them when I actually have a chance later to sit and play around with the settings. There is documentation on MAMEDev.org that explains each setting. Some of them I understand. Some of them, I tilt my head sideways and go "huh?"
And the new chroma effect noted above... first I heard about it... I must have missed that when reading about new updates. Or at least I thought. Looks like it was added in 0.203?
But the news post for 0.203 doesn't mention anything about that. After searching, MAMEInfo for 0.203 mentions that there are new settings in the INI file that mention chroma... but nothing about what it does.
This thread right here is the very first post, going back to November 2018, that even explains that it exists, and what it does.
My original suggestion was going to be the exact advice you offered, so no knocking yourself down over that.
RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
