/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't think we want them upscaled tho

We REALLY don't want that shit on our retro games, black man of my possession

>>3486905
why?

>upscale a sprite based game
WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING

>>3486894
I can't believe people actually care about this 4k shit.

CRT OR BURST

HD WAS A MISTAKE

>>3486894
Nope, that only works on 3D games when a texture cannot be shown in its entirety. If a cube with a 4000x4000 texture is on a 1980x screen, you're not going to see all 4000x4000 pixels.

I was wondering if an (UHD?) OLED TV could be used to emulate CRT hardware by having the pixels only display in either R, G or B in rows like in a CRT and having the remaining pixels stay black. With the fast response times it might not look too bad. Any technical anon that can shed some light on this?

Here's a thing:
1080+MSAA looks better than 4K without MSAA, and 4k+MSAA is too taxing to use on home PC.

nu lara croft is so fucking fine

>>3487228
what the fuck

>>3486894
get a CRT you schmock

>>3487420
Thank fuck there's sfm porn, cause nu TR games suck shit.

>>3487440
lol cry more sperglord

>>3487440
I don't think ive seen any using her new model though.

>>3487458
Up yours, ponce. I'll make ur mum cry more.

>>3487269
yes it can. crt royale is basically a crt @4k

>>3487290
true. i hate those rough edges @4k.
Looks ugly, but it is much sharper. I think it's a preference, like if you like mitchell or catmul-rom.

>>3487536
I'd never heard of CRT royale, thanks for that. Anyone have experience with it?

>>3488006
there is an article on the wiki
https://emulation.miraheze.org/wiki/CRT-Royale

Cracking the internal rendering resolution through emulation looks pretty good on n64 games but why not since pretty much every n64 game requires specific tweaking anyway. PGXP has recently made huge strides in perspective correction on PS1 emulation that allows cracked up rendering without looking awful.

On 2D games, upscaling doesn't really do anything since the graphics were drawn pixel by pixel. Even games that scale sprites look weird when the scaled sprites are rendered at their true resolution but the low res background are just upscaled

Then you get to the neighborhood of filters which are hotly contested here on /vr/ and ultimately come down to subjective personal taste. Personally I like using real high quality sd crts even when emulating or using very small screens for portability but other people honestly and truly love smoothing filters. Yet another interesting approach is filters like crt_geom that try to use very high display and rendering resolutions to replicate the look of crts for 2D games. That's a battle that can rage forever when it comes to the "right" approach to "upgrading" 2D games' graphics.

tl;dr though, many emulators can and do upscale retro consoles 3D graphics

>Algorithms to give more triangles to polygonal models and upscale textures
Are you nerds ready?

Chances are it only works on 3D games, and you can already render them at whatever resolution you want.

>>3488392
>tfw soon we'll have filter fights about which smoothers and light sourcing engines look how the developers intended

>>3488392

The algorithms that give more tris to models look terrible though.
They make lark polygons look like a piece of paper that was crumpled up and then uncrumpled.

>>3486894
I don't think you know how upscaling algorithms, resolution or anything else like that works.
as expected from a sonigger

>>3486894
Actually it's a pretty shitty checkerboard interlacing algorithm that looks like garbage outside of still frames. It's not even "new", by the way. Also, you're effectively cutting your frame rate.

>>3486894
>4K nearly perfectly
But it does not, it's just 2x2 pixels, why it looks good is because of the DPI of the screen is already that high that it does not actually matter that much to the eye, but it's nowhere as crisp as real 4k, it's just purely marketing to bait idiots like you. Nothing revolutionary or new.

>>3486894
>Since the PS4 Pro does some shit I don't understand can I apply my lack of understanding to wonder whether this thing it doesn't actually do can be done on something else?
You just did sport. You just did.

>>3486894
That looks pretty different to me.

>>3489329
thats because youre an autist

>>3489468
>youre
Way to drive home the point that your not

Newfag detected

>>3489532
thanks for further proving my point that youre autistic

>>3486894
Upscaling is shit period
Stop falling for this retarded meme
It's the reason why shit technology like LCD became mainstream

>>3487269
You'll lose a shitload of screen estate and OLED motion clarity is still shit not to mention input lag

>>3487420
LOL she's terrible

>>3490176
you're gay

>>3488305
>Cracking the internal rendering resolution through emulation looks pretty good on n64 games
Because you're not upscaling, you're just rendering it at a higher res

You can render polygons at whatever res you want, you can't do the same for sprites

>>3490181
Sorry I don't like garbage made for SJW's
Old Lara was much better

>>3490182
you can shitlord, you can double pixels

>>3490196
shut up and and just fap to her faggot

>>3490124
Not the guy you were replying to. I'm just some random guy taking the piss out of some autists in a cat fight.

>>3486894
>Since the PS4 Pro uses a new algorithm that upscales 2k~ish images to 4K nearly perfectly

It's called antialiasing.

>>3489532
Zoo wee mama.

Worst thread currently on /vr/.

Sage and report, folks.

>>3490562
why is this the worst thread? explain yourself

>>3486894
>nearly perfectly

This is such a stupid fucking question. Reapply yourself, OP.

>>3486894
For what purpose? To take a closer look at a solid pixel?
