Does anyone else love the way 8 and 16 bit games look when shrunk down onto a tiny screen like this? Handheld is how I like to play all my games now, they just look so gorgeous like this. Am I alone on this?

Shit, son. You're obsessed with that damn pic of Ecco the Dolphin on your PSP. This is only like the 15th time I've seen it posted.

>> No.2789502

It's good to play games at or near their native resolution. When you blow 320x240 shit up 5x+ it starts looking notably different, especially on displays you may be used to seeing very different type of images on - then you start messing with filters and shit to subjectively recreate the way they look to your eye but playing them on small screens or in small windows provides this effect naturally.

Sorry I don't take a million pictures. I'm also this guy, so you might get the same reaction again. Ironically it was Ranger X I was playing on PSP this morning that spurred me to make the thread.

Anyways, that's why I have these images and have posted them so often. Freaking love classic games shrunk down, I think it makes them look incredible. Thought I'd see how alone I am on it.

I like playing PS1 games on a small screen. The low poly's models don't look bad at that size. Quite charming if you ask me.

>> No.2789519

>>2789502
Funny, because the other way I like seeing them is blown up huge so all the pixels stand out. But I think making the old games look new and a little different is part of what I like.

Ecco specifically I actually only play on 3DS now because that version looks so incredible.

only homebrew which is incredibly easy to set up. no hard mods needed. Eshop is ok too with homebrew.

Mega Drive is full speed on the N3DS and looks incredible. The 3DS screen is perfect for 8-16-32bit games.

Top screen is PSP
Bottom is N3DS

Snes it's coming along great. Much much better than PSP already. Most games run full speed excluding afew chip based games. 3DS emulators are getting updated daily too.

I love how you can play 1:1 on a N3DS without massive borders, and the screen is overall bigger.

It's also possible to inject roms into the eshop genesis emulators. But compatibility is really hit and miss. At least Sonic 3 works.

Compatibility is fantastic? Picodrive emulator has full support even for Master System and Sega CD. Even runs Roms hacks fine.

The eshop injection compatibility is hit and miss. Kid Chameleon freezes after a few minutes, and Buster's Hidden Treasure just displays the konami logo and nothing happens. Sonic 3 is great. I haven't tried any others.

Retroarch is pretty great right now, but some unpopular games still run under 60 frames (like Buster's Hidden Treasure)

Ah totally miss ready what you previously wrote. Ive never personally tried it with Mega Drive games. GBA i can understand tho the MD emulators are pretty great so no need. Everything i have thrown at it has worked great.

Streets of Rage is one of the very few games to use the whole 240p res for their output and even then that's a PAL feature. Every other Genesis game is locked at 224p.

The PSP screen is higher res than the N3DS screen. Why would it look worse?

Also, shouldn't people be using the bottom screen for SNES since it's 4:3?

>> No.2791478

>>2791438
It's being higher res is why it looks worse, ironically. With the 3DS it can display a pixel for pixel perfect render of the game, because the actual screen pixels are bigger. When PSP does that the image is really small. If you stretch it to fit the whole screen it ends up making it look blurry. So it's a choice between tiny sharp pixels and a tiny image or larger pixels and a larger image.

>>2791438

Retroarch doesn't have that option yet. I don't think I would use it anyway, the top screen is more comfortable to look at.
