Things I'll never actually understand: some people's obsession with scanlines.

I've always considered Rockman 7&8 FC to be somewhat better than the originals, though.

I've never understood why people like playing blurry games without clean and crisp beautiful sprites. ;)

As someone who grew up with them, scanlines just kind of feel right for this kind of thing. Looks fine without, but they give me a nice feeling inside.

It's a neat thing to do, would be nice if there were a software solution for the scanlines similar to in ootake.

Pretty convincing! If I didn't know it was running on PC, I'd think it was an FC game!

There should be a separate tool for everything fullscreen putting scanlines on. By software, I can imagine it working pretty well at least for CRTs. Most emulators do it on their own, so why not? Cave Story, Spelunky and so on look good on a CRT in 640x480 to me, but would look at least as good with scanlines.

You can use SweetFX to overlay scanline patterns over almost any windows program or game.
