No. You have to play a authentic cart on an original console on a 12 inch PVM.

>>6372154
Change the tiny meme PVM to a 20-inch+ CRT.

>>6372158
No. It needs to be on the smallest PVM you can find.

>I'm using no filters/shaders.
Then the answer is no.
Shaders are necessary for graphics to display correct on LCD.

I've tried CRT royale and while in a game like Thunder Force IV, it looks outstanding, in 3D games like Ridge Racer 4, I feel it just darkens the image and makes it slightly harder to see.

I think a lotta 2D games utilise the scanlines to show more detail but once we go 3D, it kinda falls apart.

The best way to play retro games is the way that's accessible to you and that let's you enjoy the experience. I prefer original hardware but do think that emulation is superior in some regards due to things like increased disk read speed and being able to use whatever controller you want, not to mention the overall reliability of emulation compared to original hardware.
On original hardware you get the "feely" satisfaction from popping in a cart and interfacing with the game in a way that the developers intended it to be as well as the nostalgia factor in some cases.
I play on whatever is convenient at the time, and your setup looks nice.

Where I live it's vitually impossible to locally find retro hardware. If you buy overseas, shipping is an arm and a leg due to NZ being virtually in the middle of nowhere. The oldest console I have is a PS2 (inb4 not retro). and while PS2 emulation is amazing, it's an absolute pain to use since many games need to be individually configured to avoid graphical errors unlike popular 16 bit consoles which have had near perfect emulation for a while now.

Although using a PS2 is a helluva lot easier, I hope someday PS2 emulation is as good as 16 bit and 5th gen. I would love to explore original hardware, but atm, that's not accessible where I live.

He's right, there's too much screen real estate to keep an eye on while playing Shmups on large TV's, smaller monitors allow you to focus and react faster.

>>6372138
Great setup OP! Mine's pic related. Definitely seems like we have similar tastes.

>>6372413
it's not even funny when you're being so obvious

>>6372138
Not bad. At least you care about sound, unlike the majority of fuckers out here who will spend insane amount of time arguing about the type of screen while sound is dog shit.

>>6372413
makes me laugh everytime

>>6372138
wat game?

>>6372626
It's Thuder Force IV, one of the best shmups on the MD.

please tell me that someone who originally posted that pic wasn't serious lol

>no crt
didnt even read the post

Somewhere along the way gamers got memed into this quest for the perfect experience... Do you do the same thing for breathing ? Eating ? Your studies ? Your work ? Just fucking play man...

>>6372825
honestly this, OP is enjoying playing games, most people that neg are just collectors

>LCD
>Genesis/MD controller
>Active monitors
>Sat at a desk
>Emulation

Far from ideal but you could do worse. You could be using headphones, or an xbox controller, or no integer scaling. Ideal is:

>Large (26"+) 4:3 CRT with RGB
>Passive hifi
>Comfy sofa, recliner or armchair
>Real hardware, good condition controllers
>Flashcarts

>>6372138
Terrible display for retro games.
>the sound can still lag
What on earth are you talking about.
>it sounds MUCH MUCH cleaner
Did you enable the low pass filtering? it's disabled by default. The cutoff % needs to be adjusted too. 55 is closest to a model 1 megadrive.

>>6372413
>DTV
>Awful scanlines
>16:9
>Not even an OEM 360 controller
Truly, the way developers intended

>>6372825
For graphics that were meant to blend, displaying them differently can change the whole feel of a game. Sonic Spinball's first table is a severe example.

>ultimate way to play retro games
>flat screen
>emulator
FUCK no

>original NES with carts worth god knows how much
>China repro mini-nes with +400 games preloaded
Wowzee wonder which I'll buy hmm

>China repro mini-nes with +400 games preloaded

Enjoy your graphical glitches, shit scaling, poor sync, and as-is warranty when it finally arrives 3 months from now.

>>6376071
enjoy eating ramen for the next few months so you could afford original hardware

How does it feel to be poor?

>>6376071
Thanks for the (You), I actually have the original NES I bought in the 90s, but since the original cartridges cost a shit ton, I bought the mini-nes with all dem games. I see absolutely NO difference when playing them. I also got the wireless controllers, just to spite (You)s.
You autistic /vr/elitists don't see any difference either, I think it's just a mix of autism/nostalgia that's gets to you.

>>6376101
I knew some american would pipe in with that. Always happens. You got a wall of original carts son?

>>6376119

Go to bed gramps

>I see absolutely NO difference when playing them

Because you are an ignorant faggot who can't Google.

>>6372203
Fair enough but you know you can change the input and output gamma in the parameters so it’s not dark

This, original Japanese release CIB on the original hardware using first party accessories on a CRT TV

>>6376101
If buying a Famicom game for 200円 (because 500円 for CIB seems like it’s too much) is expensive for you then I’d suggest finding a better job

Gramps is an old tripfag that uses to go by babbagesgramps or some shit. He had a distinct way of writing posts and those of us that knew him still think he lurks and posts anonymously, but he most likely died of autoerotic asphyxiation.

Are you LARPing or have you actually developed early onset dementia and cataracts at such a young age?
