2 problems 1 question question 1) are all neo geo roms in the full mame sets? Problem 1)Mame I cannot find a stock filter / slider crt scan line effect which isnt way too dark. The exact look I want is found when you use retroarch neogeo. Problem 2)NEO GEO Some of my neo geo roms don't work with retroarch / fbalpha2012neogeo libretro and some dont have art work. I need to seperate my neo geo from mame. Goal I want all my mame to look like the retroarch neogeo scanlines which is basically a nice bright colourful crt which to me looks authentic. And I want all my neo geo roms in their own platform separate section. I would settle for a mame slider filter which was bright and colourful. And then if I could separate all the neogeo into their own platform I would abandon the retro-arch for neo geo. Or any solution to get the crt look and neogeo on its own. Can anyone pls help? Thanks ?

Thanks i wondered if that work and it did haha I need to get better at copying and backing up these files then making changes to see effects without worrying Ill destroy all the work ive done haha

Thanks that worked! makes sense now that its in context haha While youre here...Im editing the fading wheel in unified theme... ...any idea which of the commands i need to change to make platformwheel1 and pointer fade after a longer time ? AND doesn't fade completely?... like wheel 2 and 3 etc. thanks

hello thanks for asking. In my ini file I only have "video bgfx" that's it..nothing else. That has activated the hidden mame shaders but theyre temp. I was told that mame doesn't support any way to keep "last shader setting set". My goal would be to have a way to choose in game, the best shader for that game individually and then have it stay that way ...unless i changed it. That seems a logical system. MAny systems have an internal hisotry / memory but I dont think that is how mame works ....yet ? Im also trying to edit BIGBOX to make platform wheel 1 and pointer appear on launch, then fade after a few seconds but come back when touched. Right now it fades immediately and never comes back. My only solution has been to remove fading which is less than ideal as it looks bad

thank you i have worked out now how to activate the shaders! I have a ini file in mame / ini folder called "arcade.ini" and I wrote "video bgfx" in there and now i have access to the shaders! Woot! But when i close the game i lose that shader setting Is there a way of making it stay on the last selected shader for each game I play ?

Is there a way to keep the fading wheel and pointer but a slower fade and when you move the controller it comes back ? Currently it fades out immediately and never comes back....:?

a BIT LATE to this party but what does this mean? I tried putting -fullscreen after .exe in "target" via a shortcut and that worked but locked me into the game with no way to access anything or even quit. What does " "Default Command Line Parameters" field in the detail tabs when you edit the emulator in LB. " mean specially please ? thanks

tHANKS for fantastic reply! You do do much for this site! So there is no way to change visuals on the fly with mame 227? Is a way round this beyond editing a file every time you want to change ? a plugin or something ? What if some games will need different visuals? eg simpsoms = scanlines vs turtles = no scanlines Or is there another version of mame 227 ?

Hello Super Noob Questions: Is there a list of the best / popular emulators for each of the above platforms, when using LB and BigBox as the front end? Im using mame for arcade / CHD but not sure what to use for all the others...? Is there a quick way to add image enchancements to mame 227? My older versions of MAME had a menu option called "image enhancements" which allowed me to add various scan lines / super eagle / 2xSaI etc. Many visual options I believe are called shaders. Mame 227 doesnt seem to have this or i cant find it. Is there a way to add such a menu option which I can select on the fly for each game in the service menu? Theme editing? I really like the hyperspin wheel. I am using Unified theme but the platform1 wheel and pointer vanishes instantly. Is there a way to make them fade out after a while but then come back when you touch the controller etc.? Currently it vanishes in instantly and never comes back. If I buy the temporary emu movies subscription , can I bulk update all my games with trailer videos snaps and do i keep them even after the sub expires ? I am building an EMU pc system. I notice BIGBOX and emumovies with all bells and whistles, as well as the many system roms take up much more space than I was told. I was going to buy a 256gb ssd but now Im thinking I need a 512gb ssd ? What do you think? Thank you for helping with my noob questions....:)
