/vr/ - Retro Games

Judging by that screenshot it looks pretty good on pre-rendered backgrounds

>>5841773
For pre rendered games, it's alright. Like playing Resident Evil 2 on gamecube but forced to run at 240p. The character rendering looks a lot better than the jitteryness that the PS1 has.

Unnecessary when you play them as intended on a CRT

>>5841773
Sounds like just the sort of thing I'd like if I was an underage emufag

>>5841921
mentally you are underage

>>5841773
How do you achieve this exactly?

>>5841853
Actually one of the use cases of this was if you wanted to connect to a CRT with a 240p output.

>>5841968
Beetle PSX HW. Just select whatever internal GPU resolution you want (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x) then enable super sampling. When super sampling is enabled, instead of displaying at the selected internal resolution, it downsamples to 240p while still rendering internally at the selected res. Essentially producing an ultra anti-aliased 240p.

>>5841773
thats truly way it was meant to be played

>>5841973
How does it look fed into a CRT vs. how the original looks on CRT?

comparison on a 3D game (for boredom's sake)

>>5842049
>>5842037
Can you compare to 8x without SS?

>>5842052
that would trigger the autism lords too much...

but okay

the ultimate anti-emu spurdo filter

Its fantastic. And if you add a good CRT shader on top, its, well.

Perfect.

I use it on Retroarch, PS1 games, on a C8 Oled with Royale.

>YOU HAVE TO PLAY ON ORIGINAL HARDWARE ON A CRT
Hey, spaz, you don't have to play on a CRT if you don't want to--it just looks like varying degrees of shit if you don't. You know those people who you mock just because they like to play 4:3 stretched out to 14:9? I'll tell you a secret. You're them.

>>5842073
You know that it's the uber way of rendering.

>>5842081
It's a meme you dip.
And actually someone who plays 4:3 stretched to 16:9 is so thoroughly incorrect that I'm afraid I have to side with anti emulation spurdos on this one.

>>5842086
>It's a meme you dip.
zoomer pls go

>>5842085
It's something. Even if I were forced to use a fixed pixel display and no shaders I'd be rocking jagged 1x with the raw pixels because it still looks better than that ugly 8x. With something entirely flat-shaded like Virtua Racing it could work, but I can't see it looking decent with any PS1 game that comes to mind at the moment.

>>5842089
>pls
wow what a zoomer stop typing like that

>>5842093
>I'd be rocking jagged 1x with the raw pixels because it still looks better than that ugly 8x
Each to their own but I see nothing ugly about that webm whatsoever. It's literally just the original game being rendered at a higher resolution. Still "raw pixels", just more of them.

>>5842057
It keeps the colors of the 1x version

>>5842057
Look at the Donald Duck icon at the top right of this image and compare it to the 240p images. Hidden asset quality.

>>5841965
Physically and mentally you're underage and you're projecting. Go back to facebook sumerfag.

>>5842131
absolutely mad as fuck manchild. talk to me when you don't you live with your parents.

Seems like a big no for a game like Klonoa

>>5842112
It's really the general overall look I'm concerned with, but I'll give you a specific concrete example if you're interested. Look at the plant texture on the rock in the 1x Donald png. Check out the rough pixelated edges all around it and notice how it's somewhat coherent with polygonal edges like on the bridge rail, the character model, the overhanging tree trunk. Now look at the 8x shot and see how that coherence is gone.

So yeah, the pixels are still raw and like you say, there's just more of them, but that makes a big difference in how the game looks. And even if you were to insert higher resolution textures you'd still have extremely low poly models with all possibility of mental abstraction (as in a vagueness that allows for the brain to subconsciously make inferences to fill in gaps) stripped away, and what's left is stark, sterile, uninteresting, and evocative of nothing other than a smelly nerd at a computer doing some 3D modeling while listening to Rush.

>>5842142
Are there any emulators that allow switching the Shading model (Flat, Gouraud, Phong etc)?

>>5842142
Klonoa deserves better. First that Wii remake now this. Leave the poor freak alone.

I do this on the PC I hooped up with crt_emudriver to a CRT TV. Looks great.

>>5842132
I'd say you're projecting again but we both know you're not a manchild. You're a childchild. And a seething one it seems.

>this thread

>>5842475
Is this what collector autists such as yourself believe to cope?
>uuh i might be a manchild but you're a seething summer child
So we have an admission by you. Plague of this board. Claims people who use emulation features must be underage and "emufags" to justify your unhealthy hobby. Very pathetic.

left is more consistent

this dude cant into 4chan LMAO

>>5841773
If the output screen were a native 240p, then it would be good, but it isn't. That reduced image was then blown up a second time to 2160, and looks blurry as a result. It would have been better with pixels than with blur.

I thought I preferred original hardware and resolutions but these screenshots are creating a midlife crisis

>>5842059
>>5842085
This really does look like the best way to play 3d rendered games. They weren't meant to be held back. If the lack of copious polygons bothers the player, then they should be running the game on an old CRT TV.

>>5843956
>>5844037
wow fake super secret club samefag

>>5844918
wow summerfags seething level is >9000

Can anyone post what games look like upscaled to 4K?

>>5844117
>they should be running the game on an old CRT
This is what everyone with standards is doing while the Super Eagle stretched aspect filter guys (2.0) are rendering at higher than native resolution.

>>5845567
All those 2d scaling filters that look bad on a 1080p LCD, look great pushed through an old NTSC CRT.

>>5842085
>>5842059
Are these just 8x resolution? Or is there something going on filter-wise?

>>5847757
I think he's just rendering at a higher resolution. It can be nice in that situation to pass the textures through a scaling filter.

>>5845567
>equating higher resolutions with stretching
Very convincing faultless argument. Ah yes, you play your games on old TVs, truly a man of higher standards.

>>5847757
Just 8x. Probably PGXP and MSAA too in the video.
>>5847773
That's where you enter the realm of actually changing the game's look and possible butchery.

>>5847801
I've never seen a game that was harmed by scaling the textures. At a 2x scale, your first mipmap level ends up being the original texture anyhow.

>>5847824
I think I got mixed up. Are we talking about anisotropic filtering here? That's perfectly good. I thought you were referring to xBRZ type shit.

>>5847903
I'm talking about the textures. You know there is a difference between a 2d sprite game and a 3d rendered game?

>>5847925
Nearest neighbour, xBR, SABR, JINC2, 3-point, and Bilinear are all texture filtering options. Anything other than nearest is a change.

>>5842037
Makes the image darker. Downsampling should be done in linear colorspace.

>>5847993
Good. Also irrelevant.

>>5847997
You can also try MSAA.

>>5848007
>I've never seen a game that was harmed by scaling the textures
This opinion is irrelevant.

>>5848042
I suggest you try it yourself for once, instead of blinding equating everything to memes about full-screen filtering.

tongue-punch my fartbox you faggot.

>>5847794
Wasn't equating the two. They're one step removed along the spectrum of bad taste.

>>5849802
They're not even remotely similar.
