O, I didn't know that. I tried few times recovering my password from mame.net but it never sent me an emai, and when I tried to register as a new user it, also, never send me an email.

What do you mean? I got a radeon 9600 pro.
When ddraw is enabled the graphics are less sharp.
And EL and mame32fx have an option to use 3:4 AR but it only work when ddraw is enabled.

P.S. just tried d3d, and setting 3:4 AR works again but the graphics are blurry again.
What I mean by blurry is that when you disable d3d and ddraw you can literally count the pixels.
