On the left we have MAME's default scanlines. On the right we have upside down scanlines (I simply rotated the file "Scanlines75dx4_J4.png" by 180 degrees in photoshop).
To me, the rotated version looks better; keeping the first pixel of each line the original colour and shading the secondary line (instead of the default, which is the other way around) seems to make objects, text at least, look more defined. Objects take on a chunkier appearance and I find this to be more reminiscent of a good, low-bloom CRT screen. Or what I remember of CRTs from the 1990's anyway...
I found that text is where the difference is most noticeable hence I made the mockup using some text from Super Street Fighter II.
What do you think guys? Interested to hear peoples opinions on this.
