**-beam_intensity_weight** *<weight>*
Sets the vector beam intensity weight.
Sets the vector beam intensity weight. This value determines how the
intensity of the vector drawn affects the width. A value of 0 creates
a linear mapping from intensity to width. Negative values mean that
lower intensities will increase the width toward maximum faster,
while positive values will increase the width toward maximum more
slowly.

**-beam_dot_size** *<scale>*
Scale factor to apply to the size of single-point dots in vector games.
Normally these are rendered according to the computed beam width; however,
it is common for this to produce dots that are difficult to see. The
beam_dot_size option applies a scale factor on top of the beam width to
help them show up better.
The default is ``1``.

To do this, MAME divides the analog range into a 9x9 grid that looks
like this:

MAME then takes the joystick axis position (for X and Y axes only), maps it
to this grid, and then looks up a translation from a joystick map. This
parameter allows you to specify the map.
