[Joni422]

Joni422, the scanlines option adds scanlines with a direct-x 9 shadow-texture overlaying the main window.  In order to use a texture, the surface must be a multiple of 256px, so it upscales the surface a bit if its below 256 (in either direction), thus changing the dimensions a little.  In another words, it's not something we can change or fix.

Hi dink,

thanks for the explanation. I just find it strange that even with any blitter/scanline setting set to default/none, I still can't get the scaling right (with "DirectX9 Alt").
But as I described in my conclusion above I found an unusual workaround to get it working at last.

I ve disabled low filter pass and i still hear the difference, mainly in dwarf voices...

I've made another tweak to the filters, please give it a try now

Glad ya at least found a work-around.  The blitters do have their gremlins, and they are one (of many) things I'm not particularly good at dealing with.

I don't understand the problem?  Please explain more.
What happens if you resize the MAME window to same size as FBNeo window?

He talks about the line at the bottom, you can see white stuff that might indeed be the top of the hiscores.
It's probably related to some blitter setting since i can't reproduce it on my side.

@littlebear this is an official build downloaded from https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/releases/tag/latest ?

I see it now, this is a bug in one of the filters, could you please attach your fbneo.ini file from the config subdirectory?  I'll try to fix it.

littlebear, thanks - I found the problem.  It's actually a bug in the scalers (eagle, 2xsai variants & crt by Kannagichan).  The top and bottom of a vertical screen is actually the sides of a horizontal screen, which can wrap to the other side if one goes past the right-side (which is the top of a vertical screen).  These specific scalers make a shadow around pixels.  It won't be easy to fix - especially the mmx/assembler scalers like 2xsai/eagle, but, I will try.

best regards,
