Turning on prescale did nothing. I'm not sure this has anything to do with pixel resizing, because as I've said the pixels are still blurry at 1x1 size with the original arcade display.
I sometimes try to rip sprites from games and this situation makes it nearly impossible to use mame to do so, since the tile viewer still has dirty pixels and its graphics cannot be captured with f12.
As you can see.
This situation was not present in earlier versions of MAME (or at least with other people's installations), because the program was routinely used to rip sprites, as can be seen here.
I truly believe this can be fixed, I just don't know what setting or file is wrong.
