Hi ! Some of you may already know that new lightboost enabled monitors (120Hz refresh rate with backlight strobing) can do perfect animation without ghosting/blur. They look exaclty as a CRT with this hack:

A problem arises when you have a 50/60Hz source (like MSX). It is a common problem for all upscaling in fps, even consoles make this artifact when playing 30fps games on a 60Hz TV set. If you try to simply double the frame to match monitor refresh, image gets a bit "doubled", in fact appearing like ghosting. It is simple to solve though, just adding a black frame just before the drawn frame solves it without noticeable flickering (at least for 120Hz refresh). I have done it in MAME successfully, it is simpky astonishing to see perfect scrolls with no blurriness, like a CRT. Also, WinUAE have been modified by Toni Wilen to check this and works like a charm. I would like to implement the feature in OpenMSX also, or add it as a feature for future releases. What I should modify in sources to accomplish this?
You can check it working in mame in this post:

Check comments (i am cpharlok if you need a precompiled mame for test it)
Thanks for your help!
