First post here... Instead of a quad, I wonder if it would be possible to put the texture on a slightly curved surface, to mimic an old arcade monitor? Of course, 'curved' here is aproximated by polygons. If you were rendering to a texture anyway, I wouldn't image it'd make that much difference on a modern card to put it on a (say) 60-triangle object rather than a 2-triangle one. I think this would look espcially good when used with decals. -- Jim _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
