Thanks for the reply. I tested bgfx the way you mentioned when 0.172 was released out of curiosity (for example: "mame.exe -video bgfx -bgfx_screen_chains hlsl wboy" and it works fine that way but a bit slow on my system.
I'm just having problems to get it work with the glsl shader that I'm using and I'm also running MAME in OpenGL mode since my video drivers and system runs much better with that renderer. MAME bgfx documents mentions that it is possible to use opengl as bgfx_backend but I'm just not sure why it disables my glsl shader as well.
I use HLSL and D3D on my main HTPC but for now I'm only limited to glsl and opengl on my cab. It's not an ancient machine by any means but the CPU is my bottleneck as well as the GPU (i5-2400S CPU ~2.5Ghz, 8GB RAM and GeForce GT 640, Win7x64).
Best regards

I did some changes. This is the way I like it.
