Nota :
The 2.x version needs previous ArcCabView's 1.x setting chains to be removed from the folder "bgfx/chains/"
(to be more clean, they are now put in the "bgfx/chains/ArcCabView/" folder)
The chain setting "ArcCabView_Dot" has been removed (this is now the default "ArcCabView" chain)
The old default chain setting is now called "ArcCabView_Mask2"


BGFX Chains presets :
- "ArcCabView_Mask2" : it adds an alternate pixel effect (to use only with low-res games or with High-Res screens)
- "ArcCabView_ResX2" : it doubles the horizontal resolution and adds the alternate pixel effect (to use only with low-res games or with big High-Res screens)
- "ArcCabView_Flat" : it removes the curvature, the raster-bloom effect and the frame (good to use with multi-screens games)
- "ArcCabView_NoCurv" : it removes the curvature effect
- "ArcCabView_NoFrame" : it removes the screen frame
- "ArcCabView_NoCRT" : it removes the CRT effect and the overlay (but the curvature, and the frame are still enabled)
- "ArcCabView_HalfLeft,ArcCabView_HalfRight" : for 2 screens games, it will do half-curv and half-frame on each screen (artwork examples included for darius2d and warriorb)
- "ArcCabView_ThirdLeft,ArcCabView_ThirdMiddle,ArcCabView_ThirdRight" : for 3 screens games using corners and frame (artwork examples included for darius, darius2 and ninjaw)
- "ArcCabView_Neo304" : it fixes the display size for 304 pixels width NeoGeo games. Also it doubles the horizontal resolution and adds an alternate pixel effect.
- "ArcCabView_xxxx" : special game settings with overscan and offsets already set (mostly here as examples, do you own ones for other games)

- ArcCabView's BGFX Chains 2.2

Small update: "Neogeo overclock"

Setting the Neogeo M68000 from 12 to 16 MHz has been reported to be not enough. Some games still had slowdowns with the 33% OC I gave to them...
So I've released this night an updated version with OC set to 24MHz!
So far, the few tests done were good, but... ;)
