MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: Best way to hide interlacing in Time Traveler?

First, your linked youtube video was really funny and nice to watch.
Second, it is also nice to see that you treat this interlace thing seriously. Reading your post, explains to me why you did not found a de-interlacer that operates in realtime. You searched for the "best" method to do this job. But what is with "Bob", "Blend" and "Weave" methods? They would not be exactly a "quality" choice, but they would do their job in realtime for sure.

From the discussions in the past, i fully understand why you think you are not going to do this. The precise timing that interlace needs, is a big task for sure.
I will look into Time Traveler as soon as i have enough time, to configure that in my arcade cab. The picture quality looks awesome and i am curious how it will look on a real CRT and if the interlaced fields are still intact.

A good solution

nice.
