Here is also no-shader image for reference

Fuck off with that baby talk.

More pics due to popular demand.

No shader for reference.

I think shaders are for faggots.

Maybe Castlevania for the GBA is more /vr/'s cup of tea.

so brightness down and contrast up, got it

>>10323528
im retarded, is this the GBA version or 3DS version?
Looks even better than i remember if GBA

It's just a Google search away...

Just the type of person to shun modern video games actually. Who are you rubbing elbows with?
>>10323590
GBA never had colors that rich. Blacks were more gray than these pictures.

Fuck off, election tourist.

>>10323584
DotMatrix-ish mesh overlay to mimic the GBA display (zfast-LCD), colors corrected to not be blown out(PSP-Color), darker gamma to make black actually black(zfast-LCD GBA Gamma Fix).

>>10323590
The 3DS version was a remake of the GBA original.
The 3DS version had all of the sprites redone, so it looks wildly different from the GBA version.

Aria looks unreally better with shaders. The no shader is terrible, looks straight out of a washing machine

Idk what to tell but RENT FREE. Wtf is wrong with you?

>>10323628
2008 was 15 years ago.

These do look a bit better desu I like how the scanlines are barely noticeable unless you're looking for them

>>10323675
what about HoD?

>>10323758
>scanlines
retard

>>10323854
Dude I really do not care

>>10323832
Same thing. But HoD has a specific mod that drastically improves the graphics

I just use CRT shaders for handhelds

>>10323498
Mine is the AGS filter on the Analogue Pocket

>I need to distort every pixel because I can't stand 3.7% of the vertical space being black

>>10325601
as you can see on the comparison screenshot, that shader does nothing of the sort of talking about

I prefer something more subtle on the color correction, but it's up to personal taste. I wish this would get implemented onto those screen mods for the real gbas

>GBA never had colors that rich. Blacks were more gray than these pictures.

that's my biggest problem with GBA I am sure it was because of the display, but on modern displays it looks pale and shieet

>>10323618

GBA had a set number of colors, but displaying them properly required a balanced white spectrum shining on the screen. Early LED offerings often made the colors look more warm or more cold, but there are dual LED options now which make colors pop the way they should.

The low-power reflective screen is what made the GBA unique. Regular LCD screens have washed out colors and lack dark blacks.

>>10323531
I see, because raw pixels are just so much better and the intended way for those graphics to look like... right?

If Nintendo thought the GBA colors looked too blown out, they would have applied a color correction filter on the GBA player for Gamecube but they didnt, so raw GBA output you see on an emulator is the intended look for these games.

>>10326437
i think it's more about the chase than using them.

Minish cap on dsi screen just for fun

Metroid Fusion with proper color temp front lighting

I used to prefer LCD grid types of shaders for my GBA ROMs, for all handhelds in fact, but recently I just use a CRT shader for everything... it's not an inaccurate use either since the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player were both a thing at some point, so I'm replicating that experience in a way.

P.S. Smuberstep-Glow MASTER RACE RISE UP!

>>10323531
Agreed.

>>10323618
fuck off tourist

GBA screen with proper color temp front light

And again

>>10327817
YOU JUST DISMANTLED THIS ENTIRE /THREAD

>>10327817
A few games loaded alternate palettes on the GB Player. Mario Advance 4 and Final Fantasy V come to mind.

just use the gbc shader

>>10330746
Make way, real GBA screen coming through!

>>10323531
Honestly, never saw a good shader. Usually filters are bad, too. Deus ex 3 had a nice one.
