Emufags do you use any shaders/filters for playing GB(A) games on a monitor? I've seen some people swear by those LCD grid shaders but they look kinda nasty when blown up to such a huge size
Also, surprised that we didn't get a thread about the MMBN collection.

You're supposed to use the grid filters on something the size of the GBA screen, not on your monitor.

>> No.9049363

>>9048690
That's what I thought, but I've seen people use that shit on their TVs, and there's grid filters at pretty high resolutions.
>>9048680
I just don't wanna buy shit when I can do it on my computer, you know? But I guess the chunky pixel look is just what I have to deal with it for being a cheap ass.

I counter that by running at a lower scale with a frame

No, I only emulate it with a CRT. Unironically all games play better with CRTs.

>> No.9053039

>>9051663
Honestly I might just throw on a CRT shader even if it's not really authentic. I've played some GB games on my actual CRT and it looked nice with those SGB borders.

>> No.9053152

>>9048306
I do not.
I play it without shaders.

>> No.9053180

>>9048306
Nah, I don't use shaders for anything when I emulate games.
I recently set up GBI for my Game Boy Player and have been using it to play GBA games from a flashcart. GBI really is noticeably better than the first party software for the Game Boy Player.

CRT filters are ugly as fuck come on
Blocky giant pixels on a big LCD screen is ugly as fuck
Old school filters rule
AdvMAME 2x is everything needed to enjoy GBA graphics

>> No.9053381

>>9053360
This makes zero sense. Can you tell me the difference between "Old school filters"(lol?) and crt filters?
advmame2x is an ugly blurring filter that looks like vaseline vomit. that isn't old school btw retard

The GBA has crunchy sound, why can't it have big crunchy pixels?

Everybody used blurring filters in the 90's and 00's because blocky pixels are unnatural, and these new filters trying to mimic a CRT are just laughable.
I'll take the right side of OP's image over these memes any day of the week. LCD's are LCD's and that's what works best.

>> No.9055657

>>9055654
I like the idea of blurring filters but they always come off too strong or otherwise give pixels a weird, squiggly, oil painted look. If there's a subtle one I'd probably be fine with it.
