Mr. RetroLust

Yep thats what I ment, you can read all about the effects in mame on this page, justvtake your time to suck it all in: https://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/hlsl.html

I see what the problem is now, your screenshot of 1942 shows the gameplay screen entirely flat, at the start of our conversation I told you I use an effect in mame to curve the screen, you can also add scanlines and other effects. Im not at the pc atm but im sure a google search will help you on your way, search for "Mame apply scanlines" or something, In the downloads section of this project I also added my mame effect presets but they might not work with newer mame versions as I use version 0.198, in that case if you open the presets with a notepad editor you'll see what I used for effects and the curvature amount.

I think you just have to adjust the width and height of the game screen, adjust the x and y coordinates to the new size of the game screen and thats it. I dont understand what you mean by losing the curved look as that should'nt happen.

You can find You can find loads of tutorials on youtube how to use overlays in retroarch. You'll need to size them yourself.

Ah ok, you can adjust the height, width, x and y position in the .lay file included in the zip file. Just open the file with a notepad editor.

When you bend it with the curved CRT effect you'll see more of the text because when the game screen is flat the bezel will cover the text.

Make sure "artwork crop" is disabled and also use the mame effect setting to bend/round the corners of the screen. @fazmeister See also:

Not sure if it works for you in this case, but always make sure both displays have the same windows dpi text scaling set. This fixed the issue for me in the past.

What I use is an effect in mame to bend the screen, this will help you see more of the screen.
