/vr/ - Retro Games

so epic


so meme

seriously

who the fuck cares

>>1192001
I do, but not enough to argue with anon on 4chan about it.

>>1191980
With my glasses off, they both look the same to me.

Why do you care if others use filters?
It doesn't affect you in any way.
Unless they're trying to force filters onto you, you should just fuck off

first pic is a pixelated mess, second pic is how the game makers truly intended their works to be seen

>>1191980
the one on the left didn't age well

>>1192080
This

That's pretty cool, but I'd still rather play with the original pixels.

why does bowser have exotropia here

also hq filters look amazing on smw, tf are you talking about

>>1192001

Let me tell y'all something else. Here's how retro games are meant to be loaded up!

Or like this.

more like cute man

Shaders are an attempt to adapt an image intended for a CRT display at SD resolutions to a digital display at HD resolutions. They are fundamentally different. Typically the image is scaled 4x or more, which causes pixilation. I am rather annoyed that we have a whole generation of people who think that old SD games were pixilated. It's merely an artifact of using digital displays.

Shaders attempt to deal with this pixilation. Rounding shaders try this by rounding edges, but as you can see they cause many, many false positives.

CRT Geom is another attempt, which I think does it better. It only looks good with some distance and in motion. Screenshots do not give a good enough impression. These CRT

Try it on an LCD/LED/etc tv in your living room, while sitting on the couch. It looks good in motion:

.cg shaders work in OpenEmu, and RetroArch. Technically they work in Snes9x too, but I've never gotten them to. I think you have to install other things.

I miss dos for some reason, I think its because for work I have to use command line unix, which looks like shit compared to this.

this is /vr/ don't do this shit

You can't see Bowser's eyes as well on the right, the spikes look like a British guy's teeth, and his spikes aren't even sharp. 0/10 try again.

>>1192278

It really is just some asshole trying to start shit. As if we don't have enough filter vs. nonfilter threads.

You can turn a troll thread into a mature discussion on shaders though.

Pixilate.cg It adds slight blur to hide rounding errors, but otherwise aims to look like nearest neighbor. It should be standard in all emulators.

Sorry to sound like a baby but can you post some screenshots?

>>1192259
dos didn't look like that, it's a frontend
you can probably get one for your Unix box too
fags love midnight commander

>>1192543
>>1192556
They all look the same. The bios interface, the edit app, game setup/installation tools etc. My dos constantly looked like that, I had this "mdirect menu" thing. And yup, I did end up using norton commander in dosbox too.

Tell me that's not quicker and easier than using a frontend and I'll tell you're wrong.

>>1191980
Really, that's pretty good looking, all things considered.

Filters like OPs look good in games like Yoshi's Story

>>1193215
No they don't.

>>1193197
No it doesn't.

>>1193219
I mean, considering it's the product of an automated process, and not hand-made. It reasonably accurately retains the intent behind the sprite, I think. The hair came out badly, though.
