Thank you, Ruleset!!!

Thanks so much again! Any chance of downloading older saturn builds of this? I just ran the update to get the newest Saturn (added the ini line to make this automatic for pwm cores) but noticed that now they seem to have removed forced_scandoubler from the saturn core. I think I might want to revert to an older build just so I can have that feature again.

Here is the last build I did with a "Scandoubler Fx" option, I think scandoubling doesn't work with interlaced video. Don't know why it was removed if it still has a use for some people. Maybe FPGA resource optimization.

Saturn core is 99 % full. better to drop things like scandoubler than have bugs

Indeed it does not work with interlaced modes. Saturn and PSX have a lot of titles that switch between interlaced and non-interlaced. So one should always use the scaler instead to make sure that all content is visible.
