Thank you guys for that information. I actually like the new work that's been done on HLSL. The ini you referred to me looks pretty good for tempest, star war, and asteroids type vector games.
However...
All hopes of using that vector.ini universally on all vector games was mucked when I pulled up such games as: Space Wars Star Castle Space Fury Space Duel Solar Quest Rip Off Quantum Armor Attack Boxing Bugs Demon Eliminator Major Havoc Omega Race Star Trek Top Gunner
The vector effect is completely washing out everything and it looks horrible. The worst offender is probably Star Castle.
