The internal SNES aspect ratio is 8:7. It was made to output images on TVs with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It's a matter of preference.

I prefer 8:7 because things like the morph ball in Metroid and the blocks on Mario are distorted on 4:3, becoming ovals and rectangles. SNES games ports are always done with the 8:7 ratio image in mind, which I feel validates my choice.

They're in Termina and Guldove. The girl in Guldove who offers you to "become the wind" is one of them, for sure. They are part of the background.

PS1 games usually look worse when the models are rendered in 3D, in my opinion. They make the models and backgrounds clash too much. In Chrono Cross especifically, it's obvious the models were never meant to be rendered in 3D, and the background is meant to be blurry as to look organic.

The actual aspect ratio is highly dependent on what your TV does with overscan. It's usually not exactly 4:3, but close

[Anonymous No.1722171]

>>1722085
You know what thing to consider is that the morph ball is constantly bobbing up and down in Super Metroid. The sum of bobbing animation actually creates a perfect sphere, only in the 4:3 ratio. Perhaps they created it precisely to compensate for 4:3.

None of these images even look close to CRTs, broseph. None of them.

And of course you don't have sharp pixels on your CRT when your CRT is some garbage can salvage that you're running a console connected to through RF, or Composite.

Try getting a decent CRT, and using a video connection that's S-video or better.

Shaders attempting to recreate CRTs are far more interesting, though how realistic they can be is limited by screen resolution. It was said that 4K would be needed to accurately represent all the phosphor in a CRT, though it may be doable at around 1200p with some tricks.

RetroArch has the SNES NTSC-RGB available as a SoftFilter, though it only works on emulator cores that output 16-bit color format(SNES9x works, but not bSNES), and it's hardcoded to use the SNES resolution so systems that used different resolutions won't looks right.

I have a shader chain that more or less replicates that filter though

http://pastebin.com/pqcKAGAc

Applies a little horizontal blur and some color adjustment, like the filter does. Should work with any system regardless of resolution and color depth, including the likes of the Playstation with its constant resolution changing. Should work great for CRTs since it is applied horizontally only.

You need to have the latest common shaders pack as it has the shaders refrenenced in the cgp

https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders

Should be included in RetroArch Win64 dev builds already, I think.

It's not an emulator. It's a frontend for libretro, which is a paltform emulators are ported to. In other words, it's a piece of software that allows you to run libretro ports of other emulators, including snes9x, which has, too, been ported.

Libretro itself serves this purpose: port software to it, and then you only have to port libretro itself, and everything will work. I.e., instead of porting snex9x, bnes, higan, mame etc. to Android, iOS, MacOS etc., you can just port libretro to those platforms, and it'll just werk.

Retroarch takes some skill t configure on Linux, but on Windows and Android it works out of the box. Click, and it fucking works. It's easier to set up and run than ZSNES. What the fuck was your silly problem with it?

Put the bios pack in the emulator's folder. It uses bios files, because it actually emulates games, as opposed to epsxe's approximate hackedydoo.

I'm not saying you should abandon your habits and jump to RetroArch. If you don't feel the need for it's features and precision of some of it's cores at the moment, don't. But saying that it's hard to configure is plain old stupid. It's been working out of the box for more than a year.

>It's also extremely picky about PS1 games

Mednafen/Beetle PSX needs correct cue sheets or .ccd's to load games. Unfortunately most ROM sites only offer shitty rips that were done with no real standards, so there's all kinds of shit you might find out there that is incorrectly done. Most PSX emulator didn't enforce loading correctly formatted rips, so these bad rips persist.

Do yourself a favor and get Redump verified rips from now on.

Beetle PSX is by far the most accurate PSX emulator out there (most likely more than Xebra at this point). ePSXe is inferior junk anyway, you should be using PCSX-R if you really want HLE PSX emulation.

No RetroArch is for people who care about A/V outputs quality, thanks to its multitudes of filters, shaders, and even audio DSP filters, as well as that dynamic rate control that prevents audio crackling by resampling the audio input rate to match the variances in your display's refresh rate, and GL hard sync that tries to reduce input latency by forcing video drivers to not buffer.

It is not for people who care about fancy GUIs, people who enjoy wasting time configuring 50 separate emulators with "native" GUIs that can't even do what all RA can do, and people who just don't care about quality that won't take the time to figure out a simple controller-driven menu.

And most of them just buffer audio instead of adjusting it, resulting in significant audio latency. Only bsnes/higan does something similar to RetroArch but it requires you to adjust it manually to your system's output rate, but it can't do exclusive fullscreen so Windows 8 with forced Aero fucks it up badly, while RetroArch can do exclusive fullscreen and it adjusts audio rate dynamically so the user doesn't have to.

hotkeys are useful for fighting games and
for shmups turbo is , i am really getting old or something coz my fingers hurt now if i play stuff like blazing star

b) A screenshot factory, you know kind of like the layer toggling features and all that, useful for taking good screenshots and ripping stuff from games,

i mean, if RA is the current emu that looks the best you would want to use it to get the best screenshots and rips

Look, the problem is that RetroArch's advantages (filters, dynamic output rate and input latency) are only attractive to a miniscule amount of people. Other emulators provide basic filters, and playing unfiltered is also a choice. Audio crackling is non-existent in any modern emulator, and only an issue when using certain snes9x settings if we're just talking snes.

RetroArch has been posted and promoted here time and time again, taking over emulation threads with people claiming it's the best thing since sliced bread. And for most users it really isn't. You're no different than if higan users boast that only they can play Speedy Gonzalez or something.

RA's gamepad configuration interface works for me (Xinput pads are auto-mapped even). Turbo is done by holding down a hotkey.

The SNES9x core has options for layer disabling at least. That's something the emulator core itself has to do.

A universal cheat are the only legitimate thing that it lacks. Right now, there's an XML cheat system that was geared toward bSNES, and a few other cores could use it, but nothing that works across all emulator cores. There was recently a new addition to the libretro API that provides a memory map that an emulator core could define (added by Alcaro, who made ZMZ. the modified ZSNES that used libretro, and is also working on his own libretro frontend, Minir), but RetroArch does not do anything with it yet.

To be honest, that's because most of the retro emulation scene is all but dead and this is the only significant development, and some people really like what it's doing.

The last thing that happened were bsnes, which is more or less completed with the author doing some half-assed emulation of other systems now and reinventing standards again.

Only PS1 and N64 seem to be making progress these days, with Mednafen creating the most accurate emulator yet and N64 plugins that do accurate video rendering (quite slowly though) and a cycle accurate N64 emu (probably not really a good idea, unless he optimizes a whole lot), and some improvements being done to Glide64 particularly for the mupen64plus libretro, to make it faster and more accurate (only HLE renderer with N64 3-point texture filter currently).

Everything else seems to be "done" already with accurate emulation or is impossible to emulate accurately with currently available hardware.

RetroArch is making these emulators available on more OS and hardware with the libretro API (which other things besides RetroArch are starting to use now). RetroArch itself just happens to be very powerful and optimized frontend thanks to Themaister, so it often performs better than the standalone emulator's frontend in certain cases,

The real thing here is the libretro API, since anyone could make their own frontend around it on any platform they want and it will work with these emulators that implement the API. It's the future of portability and several emulator developers are already using it or creating their own frontends for it.

No it's not. RetroArch itself is not an emulator at all, but rather a frontend for the libretro API. The libretro cores are the emulators coded by other people, with some extra code to implement the API and compile as libraries. Some of them support doing this in the upstream codebase, some are forks. There's also some non-emulator cores too (sourceports mainly)

Enjoy your latency, shitty colors, bright blacks, deforming filters, and other possibilities.
Worst case I've seen is forced overscan cropping and extremely strong sharpening on a 1365x768 panel forced to output 30Hz (Not 24, not 60, not 50, fucking 30) regardless of input, and throwing on a good 50ms+ latency because of it. Sure, that's an extreme case, but modern televisions are for television. Not for games.

If you're going to use a TV (Even if it's not a CRT, and therefore not acceptable), then you may as well just use the original consoles or a PC. There's no purpose to purchase a secondary device, besides defeating the entire purpose.

It's an RPG. The allied line vs. enemy line thing started out as an abstraction of actual combat since movement was graphically impractical, but now it's just become slavish loyalty to tradition because Japan.

Not him, but most HDTVs have SD inputs and can scale to 4:3 through menu settings.
Having composite input on a new TV is really not uncommon.

Assuming you're not using a top-loader, the NES does have composite output.

There's an argument for both images.

You can argue that the left represents how the designers would have liked the game to look, under ideal hardware conditions that didn't exist at the time.

But you can also argue that, for better or worse, the right represents the reality of the time and it's better to experience games as close to authentic as possible.

I far prefer the right myself. This is why this is a matter of FUCKING PERSONAL TASTE. I don't even know why that caveat needs to be made.

Play games however you like and shut up. I love color bleed, scanlines, and artefaction. If you don't, that's cool. We can all enjoy old vidya together.

It is. But it's also using shaders to achieve 240p/480i scanlines, horizontal blur, and color correction.

Can't take properly sized screenshots from the machine itself, but here's a little comparison between what it looks like unconfigured on the left and on the right what I believe I did was just set the output to OpenGL instead of SDL?

[Anonymous No.1746241]

>>1722654
Not him, but the games actually do look like that on the original systems. That is why if you plug it into an HDTV, there will be no scanlines or blur (but they will be stretched to oblivion). If you want the games to look like they are running on CRT's, buy a CRT monitor.

Why don't you ask 85% of this thread?
Honestly, people need to calm the fuck down about how other people enjoy their games.
That said, I'm not big on that look either. The smoother is too prominent and the scanlines not enough so for me, but there you go.

I guess I've never thought about it. Since it comes naturally to the shape of the television, I've never found a reason to add it to a display that's shaped differently to begin with. Other things can have a big effect on the way things look, but curvature is just sort of... There, for me. I'll take it or leave it.
