Is it possible to emulate arcade CRT monitor on MAME?

Alright, I'm planning to do a HDMI to DVI conversation for my LCD monitor while mounted vertically. The problem is that LCD doesn't have that real arcade feeling because it is flat and isn't a CRT monitor...

Little ago, I found a code that enables 'hlsl' effect for MAME on windows 8. ( This effect was used using DIRECT3D, I guess.)

This is effect on Pac-Man game.

This is comparison between effect and uneffected Q*BERT game. :p

No HLSL effect - http://oi58.tinypic.com/fd84fs.jpg
Real Q*Bert monitor - http://oi58.tinypic.com/2sa1g0k.jpg >> there are some reflection and a bit too bright, sorry. xP

Is this even possible in PiMame? Mame4all? AdvanceMame?

Most of the all, I really hope there is a effect for "curvature" and "pincushion". I'm not entirely sure if RPi is powerful to do this task anyway.

Bump. :p

Could be what you want...?

Scroll down to the 'Filter' option which mimics the CRT style.

I like those but not that great in my opinion. Is there some setting to make it curved like a real CRT monitor.

In the youtube video, you can see that at 03:50, I am altering sliders to edit 'CRT' setting to defocus, change rgb, size and many other.

My real question is that can tiny Raspberry Pi do a such thing?

Barrel distortion, to be specific.

Get a CRT? I'm not sure... Don't know if its possible. Its not included in advmame.
Sorry, good luck though :)

Oh thanks anyway.

Howdy, Stranger!
