I only posted it because it was a personal record. Your Yang friend was pretty solid though, as were you. I can take it down if you want but I didn’t think you’d care because it was nameless. Either way, just say the words and it’s gone.
One way is to use the Superscale 75% scanline option under “image enhancements.” It’s in the options, or press tab to get to it. But I got tired of that since it distorts small text and sharp edges/corners so I figured out you could copy the PNG scanline stuff from official MAME32 releases, and put it in the same folder of Plus+. Then go to the advanced tab in options, and click visual effects for some scanline choices. To be quite honest, I still don’t like any of them. The perfect thing for me would be a 75% version of the scanline filters in Elsemi, which neither emulator has.
Depends on your location, although I find that even in Colorado my smoothest games are often on the GodWeapon server in Virginia. I get about 40 ping to there, and 20-30 on Western Wonderland, which I’d also highly recommend. When you get a good connection with someone, or use P2P, I’d say it’s basically as smooth as single player, albeit with a minor amount of delay.
