Alas it's full software, I'm sure the most cpu intensive part could be done in HW but DirectX and pixel shaders are beyond me, so to move them to that would require help from someone who has more knowledge on the subject matter.

I didn't feel it fair to bug members of the team (beyond asking Aaron G who was kind enough to steer me in the right direction of where best to implement it) without any evidence beyond my gut feeling that it would work well enough.

Tbh I'm not sure it would be fair to bug them even after doing it all in SW, they've all contributed so much time to the project already.

As it stands, my patch gives what I think is a much more realistic configurable vector renderer in software, which requires probably something like a E6850 to use in its full 3 pass box blur glory, but works with 2 passes on my laptop, and is probably usable without the glow on most modern PCs to take advantage of the other things I added.

It would be nice if it was included in some form in the official distribution, or an alternative distribution, if not I will make the diff file available for major versions since I'd be adding it in for my own arcade cab.

And if someone who understands DirectX and how MAME uses it, would be interested in assisting with the box blur code, I'd be thrilled to work with them on accelerating it.
