Does this screen resemble a 15Khz?

[dakonishi]

Are the scanlines accurate?

[dakonishi]

Or should the scanlines be darker?

Looks pixellated to me.

Scanlines should definitely be more evident than what you got there.

[dakonishi]

How should I configure mame to closely emulate a 15Khz display?
Which effect should I use?
Do I use Scanline Intensity or Feedback Strength?

I am using wolfmame 0.106.



Thank you for help

set to whatever gives you that nostalgic feeling. if you don't have much arcade experience then set to what looks best to you.

really, that screen looks fine, 99% arcade accurate. anyway, most arcades i went to, had really crappy cabs and controls, so playing at home on an LCD with emulated scanlines beats the 'real thing' hands down

Indeed.

The way I think of it is to just accept that the images look different from one another on a CRT or an LCD.

I LOVE CRTS. However, when I play on an LCD I never use emulated scanlines since I think they never look quite right. Mostly because there is a lot more going on in a CRT image to give that "arcade look" than just the scanlines.

I prefer to use some manner of exact double scaling and letterboxing and call it a day. Probably the sharpest, most accurate image, and closest in spirit of the original image you can get out of a fixed resolution display.

However, I will say that image looks a bit dingy to me. The scanlines are about the right thickness, but the graphics lines need to be a little brighter, and the scanlines a little darker.
