/vr/ - Retro Games

Stupid faggot.

It's beautiful imqho famalamajam

>>5238028
Do you know how photography works in relation to CRTs? You know CRTs don't look like that in person and at a reasonable viewing distance.

>>5238028
CRTs are fine, it's composite that's shit.

>>5238036
>>5238053
>>5238056
>>5238060
>UHMM.. YEAH... I LIKE THE MASSIVE LINES! I-IT HAS SOUL!!

>>5238064
Yes, that's an accurate paraphrasing

>>5238067
t. retard who loves massive black lines through his game

>thinking a photograph of a TV looks the same as actually seeing it in person
>wanting super-sharp pixels
>>5238068
Second one looks better. Deal with it.

>>5238071
>p-pixels are supposed to have lines through them!
based and nostalgiapilled

>>5238068
I think it is cute that you get so upset about shit you are so ignorant about. CRT =/= automatically mean black lines everywhere.

>>5238075
explain this then boomertard

>>5238068
The lines aren't even the worst problem with CRTs. Bad geometry, poor convergence, bloom, flickering, the high-pitched whine... even the "good" CRTs suffer from all these problems and more. They're a dead technology for a reason: they're shit.

>>5238074
why the fuck would you put a bunch of black lines through your character for any reason

>>5238028
I like the way CRTs look, not the way a picture of a CRT looks.

>>5238076
I'm playing on a CRT right now and I can't see scanlines unless I get really close to the screen

>>5238091
>has to sit across the room to play a game just so he cant see the huge lines through the sprites

>>5238076
That's a photograph of a CRT image. It doesn't represent what it looks like to the human eye. You have been told the same thing throughout the thread but you're too far in in your tard stupor to read.

>>5238094
Cameras are literally human eye emulators retard

>>5238028
filters are retarded

actual IRL CRTs are incandescent furnaces that bend atomic energy directly into your brain with magnets

>>5238097
That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, cockbreath.

>>5238104
t. doesnt know anything about how cameras and tvs work

>>5238097
they literally aren't and you apparently don't know what the word 'emulator' means

cameras are devices for approximately capturing an image and displaying it on some intermediary medium. that's not what the human eye does at all.

what they do not do is holographically record the light output of a source in a way which can be reproduced towards an actual human eye, which is what you'd need to do in order to accurately represent a CRT, which fundamentally works differently than the flat screen you're reading this on

the only reason you wouldn't know this already is if you're an underaged that has never actually played anything on a CRT

>>5238109
Stop falling so hard for bait

>>5238109
>cameras are devices for approximately capturing an image and displaying it on some intermediary medium. that's not what the human eye does at all.
based retard
it literally emulates the light onto your screen and uses that to print a photograph

>>5238112
eat shit. i know it's bait, but people start believing this shit once everyone ignores it

>>5238113
you still literally don't know what the word emulate literally means you literal moron

>>5238117
>t. zoomer
i work on cameras at my job i literally know how they work you dumb unga bunga. the way cameras work is that they use the light in the room and calculate it into hex code

my tv has a great picture and i appreciate playing on a screen with the correct aspect ratio. i have always played old games on standard definition tvs and i dont see any problem with that. if you like LCD screens then good for you but im not changing what i like because of your bad attitude

>>5238107
Taking a picture of a CRT doesn't result in the same image as looking at one. How you need this explained to you at your age is anyone's guess.

>>5238068
just like the massive black line leading into your mom's bedroom

>>5238126
EPIC

>>5238119
you're "trolling" too hard now anon, you overshot it

I unironically think composite is perfectly fine

>>5238131
I'd be okay with it if it weren't for dot crawl. It makes scrolling look so shitty.

>>5238135

dot crawl varies from set to set right? i have a JVC i'art that doesnt look bad. i also pass my composite through an s-video switch. i wonder if that helps clean it up...

>>5238131
Depends on the set and the system. I don't mind composite on my AV Famicom.

>>5238131
Composite can be fine, but the Sega Genesis is one system where that's an exception.

If CRTs be so great why nobody make new one.

Check. Mate.

>>5238227
Good thing that's outputting from my Wii

>>5238145
It varies, but ultimately there was never a good way to fix it. Just variations of bad.

>>5238028
>>5238064
>>5238068
>>5238076
the scanline versions of all of these look beautiful honestly. and i shouldnt have to explain why its objectively better.

>>5238079
After further examination and study of scanlines I have determined they definitely increase the depth of an image, and to a greater extent than their free antialiasing feature. Just look at the dude I posted above. Look at the utility pouches on his jacket and his kneepads. They look flat without scanlines and round with scanlines. Or look at the boats in the image to the left. Without scanlines they appear to be too close to Ryu, left boat doesn't even look like it's in the water. With scanlines they look to be farther back in the water.

There is no reason why this depth increasing effect of scanlines shouldn't ocurr on 3D games like Tomb Raider because, nota bene, "3D" images are still physically 2D unless they are on a 3DS or Occulus Rift. Furthermore, whether the depth increasing effect of scanlines is concrete or merely an optical illusion is of no importance because either way they increase the quality of the gaming experience.

Scanlines get more visible as you move up in signal quality. You will not see scanlines on a 13" CRTV on composite. On 32" and higher CRTVs the scanlines are very bold even on composite.
I don't like PVMs because their scanlines are so intense you have to sit farther back to avoid the "image gone through a paper shredder" look. I haven't tried a Commodore/Amiga monitor; I've heard they sit between PVMs and CRTVs in sharpness.

PC VGA CRT monitors actually have scanlines if you set them way below their max res. For example most such monitors are 1024x768 maximum and if you set them to their minimum 640x480 you will see narrow scanlines which feel pleasing and comfy.

Unless you are playing flat games like Tetris or Atari 2600 games with no backgrounds, you must play 240p games with scanlines or suffer a flattened, degraded image.

Mmm, scanlines... such beauty, such depth, such developer intent... truly, THIS is the way retro games were meant to be experienced...!!!

>>5238365
how many times have you made similar posts in this thread?

>>5238064
>>5238068
>>5238074
>>5238076
You fucking massive retards. You don't have scanlines on normal consumer TV which everyone used back in the day. You absolute moron, you don't even know what scanlines are.
And sorry but every 2D game from 90' and 80' looks better on the worst crt than on the best lcd tv.

>>5238461
Go away. You are just here to add nothing and attempt to confuse. Scanlines existed on consumer sets. That image is shit comparison and will always be until it is remade proper. You have never used "the worst" CRT or "the best" lcd/oled (clearly based on even saying that).

>>5238365
You are just as pathetic.

>>5238076
The person you replied to just blew you the fuck away so hard your reply makes no sense. What exactly are you attempting to show? Which variation of masking is your issue? You too stupid to know there is more than one?

All you did is prove how much better DKC looks with aperture grille than not.

>>5238028

The CRT images would look a lot better if the camera was actually 3-5 feet away from the TV like you would be when actually playing the game. You don't play on a CRT with your fucking eyeball touching the glass.

>>5238028
CTR is for nostalgiatards more actracted by a twisted obssession for their childhood than actual retrogaming. Is the same as prefering inferior localization (over re-editing) or 50 hz because "it was so when i was a kid".
False retrogamers I'd say. They are nostalgiagamers rather.
t. Young millennial who wasn't eveb born when those games came out and plays them on lcd and enjoy the shit out of them because he likes the games, not for mere mostalgia.

>>5238028
Am I supposed to think the CRT shot looks bad? The bricks that make up the level look great.

This is not what CRT looks like! This is what a CRT monitor being filmed looks like!!!!

All you need to create CRT is a slight glow

>>5238702

I never noticed or cared about scan lines on CRTs back in the day. What I hated was the curved edges and overscan.

Modern flat panels are much better to play old games on.

What’s funny is they respond like a bunch of kids while accusing everyone else of being a zoomer. Most likely a bunch of Brazilians ITT who can’t afford a decent modern TV.

>>5238064
as someone who grew up in this era, don't be a bunch of faggots. MUH CRT should be a fucking meme if it isn't one already. it's more hipster bullshit right alongside 'rare/exotic beers and fucking vaping.

the ONLY reason you faggots really like the CRT look is it reminds you of a simpler time when you didn't have to worry about bullshit like how many genders and pronouns

yea i think i'm getting bamboozled. Literally every scanline/soft/crt picture looks better.

So much depth I’m drowning

>>5238028
Imagine not understanding that developers of the day programmed with CRTs in mind;the bricks on the lower right are how they're supposed to look. The way the CRTs "filter" the image is literally how it's truly supposed to look. Accept it, or become a collection of clipped tree limbs.

>>5239435
I feel bad for people that are 16 right now. Cultural wasteland is a great descriptor.

>>5239456
I have a 22” PC crt. I use it for PS1 gaming and retro PC gaming. It’s objectively more reponsive and has a sweet, sweet refresh rate. I can’t really see any scanlines.

>>5238028

>>5244330
Sure, but I wonder how many are just super messy adults who never clean and straighten up their homes and thus don't have any space for even a smaller CRT. That's got to be some of it, the people who tremble at the thought of making room for all of maybe two or three feet, or six if the set is huge (got a 32" CRT, sux to move).

>>5243192
>Futaba
You may not be retarded, but your taste is still shit.

>>5238028
Noob question: is it worth to find space in my room for a heavy CRT that will probably fall off my desk and explode the next time there's an earthquake when I can use filters in an emulator? Is the real deal that much better, or is it autism?

I feel like I'm going to get banned for asking this.

>>5238028
I m playing NG on a CRT right now with composite and it looks better than both of them.

>>5244354
>Is the real deal that much better,
Yes, it has a certain glow and sheen than filters fall a bit short of, although they are getting closer. The NES Classic/SNES Classic both have CRT-like filters, but they don't replicate curvature, which most light gun games need to function properly with the original zapper and other issues.

>>5244354
It's mostly autism, but if you have the room you might as well. They're cheap and you can always junk it if you don't like it.

>>5238461
This. You re right.
>>5244356

>>5244363
They are absolutely wrong. This is so retarded. Of course CRTs have scanlines; that other poster is a moron, certified.

>>5238461
Here's a picture of my normal consumer CRT over composite. The scanlines look pretty obvious to me.

>>5238028
>ew, texture!
>my favourite art movement is colour field painting for sure

See yourself out.

>>5244385
That's not scan lines though, if you look closely that TV set renders one 240p pixel as a 2x2 pixel grid on a 640x480 TV set. So it's not skipping every other line as with traditional scan lines. What you're seeing is just the spacing between the pixels.

>>5238560
You can't get a good photo of a CRT with a digital camera due to the intense moiré effect when forcing a grid like structure imperfectly onto another (screen pixels onto camera sensor pixels) best would be to take photo on film and scan it since film does t have uniform grain structure, or to defocus the image slightly OR use a very high megapixel camera that can capture every subpixel on the screen with room to spare and then do a power of 2 bilinear downsample.

i just like messing around with shaders/filters

>>5244695
What shader? That actually looks great.
How did you get even scanlines at non integer scale to 1080p?

>>5244701
>scanlines at non integer scale to 1080p?
Explain further

>>5244598
I'm not sure if you're trolling or legitimately retarded. Probably both.

>>5244707
Even scanlines. Most CRT shaders produce uneven scanlines when not used with integer scaling.

>>5238028
If im dating a qt gril and she says she doesnt prefer CRT i dump her right there

the bricks and characters look a lot better on the top, but the color temp looks too cold though, but that might be the camera.

>>5244818
OP intentionally got the color temp wrong to try and prove their point. It like how George Lucas showed ten minutes of neglected and half-oxidized film cells saying: "See?! The original sucks! IT SUCKS!" while hiding the good stuff and pushing the soulless redux.

I play NES and SNES games on my 75 inch 4k tv.

>>5244825
Do you run them through an NTSC filter, and are you using an emulator, flashcart, or real classic consoles? I must know, else my hatred or love knows no outlet. (kind of true)

Anybody remember how nice and cozy this board was a few weeks after it was newly created? I still have fond memories of that magical time. Look at us now, is this what you wanted?

>>5246763
Remember the Nintendo Deck? I do.

I don't believe anybody in this thread is genuine anymore. This topic has been argued and trolled so much that any honest discussion has gone out of the window years ago.

I refuse to believe anybody could be as offensively retarded and stubbornly autistic as both sides of this stupid argument in this thread. You should all feel bad about not having anything better to do than engaging in this shitflinging.

>>5238028
The CRT scanlines add more texture to the image than what you get in raw LCD emulation, similar to film grain in cel animation compared to digitally-colored animation.

You are wrong and it's sad. I laugh at you, but also feel sorry that you'll never experience classic games the way they were designed. Yes, they were designed with the CRT image in mind to "filter" the pixels. Man, it's so fucking sad how many of you youngfags that don't get this.

>>5239634

Retarded know-nothing faggot, the post. If you think people set aside the space for these things based on politics, consider cutting as a hobby, also surf boarding.

>>5250053
What would the games look like I'd they didn't have crt display in mind?

>>5250080
We'll never know because they programmed with CRT monitors for CRT monitors. Keeping in mind that they used the limitations of the tube's image to soften their work, it stands to reason that had we LCD and the like back then, the top image in OP's pic would still be the desired result.

Why do idiots allowed the argument to boil down to "what the developers intended"? It doesn't fucking matter. Take any current year indie pixelshit and display it on a CRT and it will look better EVENTHOUGH the idiotic devs INTENDED for it to have clear crips pixels, it still looks shit that way because developer intention doesn't matter one little bit. Pixel graphics just look better on a CRT because the distortion makes it better, just like mold makes milk into cheese. It's not what the cow intended but delicious either way.

Yes because the developers intended that, oh granite head. Is it through that thick skull of yours yet? It should since you just made my argument partway through your wishy-washy screed.

wow this thread is pretty sad.
CRT is just nostalgia for me, but i really don't care how the game should be displayed either way.

>but i really don't care how the game should be displayed either way.
That's because you're a soulless zoomer. Do you drive a car and say: I don't care how it looks, it's just nostalgia, as the muffler drags in the street?

>>5250870
So how would developers intentionally make a pixel game that looked worse on CRT and better on modern flatscreen and succeed??? huh... HUH?! NIGGA HOW?

It's impossible to do that. It's impossible to do that's why developer intent doesn't matter because pixelated games always look better on a CRT.

You really should work on making more coherent arguments when you switch sides to keep the argument going. That was a very low effort post on your part.

Says the "Sega system" troll. Yeah, I know.

This reeks of a boomer that got desperate because zoomers started snatching CRTs because of youtubers and are driving up the prices, so he started this falseflag thread to scare /vr/ zoomers away from them.

>>5251028
Do you understand ReflectiveBumpmapping doesn't do anything for a game which is not 3d accelerated using opengl or directx?

>>5251046
yes, but for some unknown reason, this sob works with wing commander 1 and 2 textures.
plus the windows 95 update port has DirectX support, and recently it received DX9 thanks to Wing Commander CIC.

>>5251051
I thought it was the DOS version.

LOL

>>5251071
zoomer is generation z, not millennial

i care to have as little input lag as possible when playing so thats a huge benefit for crt.

>>5251073
You're right, but I still get to laugh because they act like often enough, although I do stand corrected.

>>5251074
Not really.

*alike So Instead of deleting the other, I thought I'd explain my position a bit further. The fact that 8 bit and 16 bit games looks like shit without being "filtered through" a CRT should be proof enough of what side to be on. Given that the developers intended their games to be played on CRTs and designed them with those in mind, it stands to reason that displaying their graphics in ways that undermine them is wrong. Try playing any Atari Lynx game on an emulator that isn't using some form of "NTSC filtering" or the like, it looks awful.

Now, many would seize upon that and claim that such is proof that the Lynx was 8-bit-and it was-but only the CPU because it had a fully 16-bit graphics chip and a math-co-processor to boot. With those kinds of specs, why did they take shortcuts on the sprites? I don't know, but the technical details says they didn't have to and the pudding shows that the games behind their primitive LCD (but amazing back then) look great.

So this is beyond the argument of CRT vs anything else, it's pure "filtering", by whatever means now, but I felt that illustrated my point a bit better. And yes, some people try and say that Lynx programmers wanted their games look like shit too.

Explains your anti nostalgia for CRTs. Your family had one 13" CRT while other kids in your ghetto stole LCDs.

Does anybody remember that high pitched frequency that used to play from these things? The one that only kids could hear? I remember enjoying that sound even though it should have been annoying, when I think about the headache it would give me when I stayed up too late watching tv I legitimately get nostalgic. At some point I couldn't even sleep anymore without that ringing sound and I started to set my tv to turn off after 30 minutes. Does anyone else feel like that sound, if not a massive oversight, may have outright been a way to brainwash kids into feeling more comfortable in front of the television than anything else? I don't know if it's just me but sound was like a warm blanket I could hide from anything under. Could you imagine though? An entire generation of children herded by the television jew?

>Does anybody remember that high pitched frequency that used to play from these things? The one that only kids could hear?
Yes and it's a myth that only kids can hear it. It's subtle most of the time, but it seems more intense upon startup. It's common for people of all ages to "know there's a television is on somewhere".

As to what you're speaking to, that's for /x/ possibly, but I do know that The Legend of Zelda has binaural beats that can drive some people insane. Good luck on that rabbit hole.

>>5251591
>Does anybody remember that high pitched frequency
I'm in my 30s and can still hear it. It's annoying as fuck.

>>5250019
In a way that's kind of what CRTs do to the pixels.

>>5238461
how the fuck

>>5251615
I'm sorry the whats in legend of zelda

>>5251979
Some of the gold carts have music that might drive you nuts.

>>5251991
Show me what you're talking about.

>>5251105
But they don’t look like shit when displayed on LCDs. That’s just your nostalgia talking.

>>5251993
You'll have to find the links yourself, it gets scrubbed a lot, but several early NES games have musical tones done in such a way that plays with your mind. He'd deny it, but Miyamoto made some under the behest of some people. I've personally had experience with a gold Zelda cart that has it. I do not recommend playing that version for long periods or even alone if you can help it.

>>5252013
>But they don’t look like shit when displayed on LCDs
If they were designed for CRTs, yes they do. Nostalgia talking would be saying that all games should be on CRTs which is ridiculous.

When did this board became /v/?

When stupid sand niggers started leaking games. I will acknowledge I don’t belong here but I lurk mostly and I’m old as fuck so I know what most of you guys are talking about.

What is that supposed to mean and what does that have to do with the topic?

Hey. I'm a chiptuner that works specifically with the 2A03. You're full of shit.

I do like the top shit. Ryu pops out better from the background while on the bottom it's not as easy on the eyes. I'd never play Ninja Gaiden like that
