graphical filters are not available when MMX is disabled

Why aren't the graphical filters (2XSAI, HQ2X, etc.) available when "MMX SUPPORT" is unchecked? By the way, why are the graphical filters also disabled when using the "HI-RES MODE 7"?

Because the graphical filters are MMX dependant.

Hi-Res MODE7 doesn't kill all filtering, at least not on my machine.

When "HI-RES MODE7" is invoked in the game, the graphical filters are disabled.

Wehn hi-res mode 7 is enabled, mode 7 regions aren't filtered. this is because hi-res mode 7 uses the space that ZSNES would use to apply a filter.

Pretty much if you don't have a MMX compatible CPU you won't be able to use the filters at a reasonable speed anyway.
