Have another arcade machine and a virtual pinball machine and couldnt quite put my finger on what was wrong as things didnt look right. As soon as you play games on CRT it is a game changer. No filters on Mame compare. Modern games look amazing too.

As the system is set to low res due to the CRT it means i can get Mortal Kombat 11, Street Fighter V and killer instinct running on max settings and 60+ frames a second. They look amazing (think i have said that already but they really do)

Neo Geo and Teknoparrot games feel true to the arcade something that simply doesn’t come across on any other type of screen including 4k.
