Scanlines cool
16:9 not cool

[Anonymous No.775987]

>>775975
That's not even close to 16:9 you moron, that's 4:3.

You know, the actual aspect ratio the game was meant to be displayed at?

[Anonymous No.775992]

>>775457
That's not glorious pixels. It looks worse than it should because the screen is scaled wrong. It's more jagged than it should be even unfiltered

[Anonymous No.776001]

Why do you guys argue about pixels? I mean...authenticity?

Toe rival camps
One side spend money on fancy screens and RGB mods for their shitty old systems to make the picture clearer

the other side emulates with filters to muddy up the perfectly clear image to make it look..more retro or something

>ignoring the huge black bars letterboxing the screen

It's like you have a proper crt monitor and you're actually going out of your way to make it look like shit.

[Anonymous No.776084]

This game. I'd never really played it properly before today, but after I put the cart in I didn't stop playing until I beat it. And after that? Slapped that motherfucking cartridge back in and beat it again.

[Anonymous No.776103]

>>776084
What game is that?

>Play games as close as possible to the ideal "nostalgic" retro experience with the highest quality vintage hardware available to you
OR
>Play retro games in the newest clearest highest resolutions possible with the best controllers possible

Do one or the other or both but don't do shit in between. Also, with a slight nod to some shadow mask people and people who consider re-releases to be more "definitive" than the original, the most ideal version of #1 is objective while there are infinite matters of personal preference at work in #2 making it extremely subjective.

That's why the CRT people are so much more unified than the filter people.

I know plenty about CRTs but considering you provide no information about yoir display and are using a scanline filter instead of relying on your actual CRT to provide proper scanlines and that your screenshot is in a 4:3 resolution I think it's reasonable for me to have assumed you're using a 4:3 VGA CRT monitor. If you're overscanning to make that letterboxed emulator fill your screen vertically then you're also overscanning the left and right edges right off your display, which not only still distorts your game to shit it also makes it harder by keeping you from seeing what's coming.

Just the simple fact that you're showing Yoshi's Island makes me suspicious you're that filter troll.

In the US Rockman was renamed Megaman

Since I've got this game recently, it's quickly become one of my favorites; some of the most fun I've had with a bro in front of a TV.

Special shout-out to King of Dragons, too.

Recently picked up all of the Parodius games on the SNES and I'm enjoying the hell out of them.
I'd actually say they're better than Gradius 3.

[Anonymous No.776807]

Most difficult game I've ever played. I never managed to beat it on the SNES but with save states, I did.

Outstanding soundtrack as well:

Shadowrun turned out to be a great game, it was kinda like link's awakenings chain quest the game, with rpg elements and gun crosshair action, and megaman battle network jacking in.

Bretty gud game.
I can see it getting rarer soon.

I rememeber playing this game one time when i took 4 hits of acid in 1995. It was just a general feeling to play it because "it seemed trippy" and all that bullshit.. But holy shit what was going on on my screen was glorious, happy, unexplainable shit.. Lots of weird shit moving around in weird ways. and i was an introverted kid.. my parents where nazis or else ide bo doing regular things.

I'm glad I found a boxed copy at my local used games store. The guy even knocked off $5 because he could see I had taste (I bought a lot of loose N64 carts as well).
Now if only I hadn't let my ex borrow my SNES and my loose cart of CT. Never getting those back... $100 down the drain. :<

[Anonymous No.781486]

Contra 2 anyone.

God I loved that game. Me and my brother played and beat that game atleast a 100 times as a team. We were only a year apart so we were splitscreen bros for our younger years.

I'm right before the Magus fight but I can't play more until I can find a way to get morphine into my blood, had Tylenol 3s laying around and inadvertently played every session on them and now I think I'm addicted to Chrono Trigger.

You sound like the pleb, sticking dusty carts into some console or at best dumping hundreds into flash carts with promises of far-off full compatibility.

Get on my authentic output true video signal emulation level. Post pics of your BVM. Even have a 13" PVM in front of the toilet attached with 50 feet of CAT-5 for special operations.

[Anonymous No.783215]

While this is not only my favorite Castlevania, it's without a doubt my favorite SNES game as well.

Top notch level design makes every stage different and interesting. Controls are solid, Simon follows your commands without a delay and mistakes are always you to blame for. Monsters and bosses are memorable. My favorite being probably the skeleton knight Rowdain from the first stage, riding on his bone horse. While some blame the whip being too overpowering, that you don't have any use for items anymore, there's time and place for every sidearm if you know how to use them properly.

And the soundtrack... I can probably whistle every theme in order from the intro music to the very end. It's just freaking amazing. Fitting every stage perfectly. All of you are most likely aware of Theme of Simon, Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears, so I'd like to share some not so well known themes from the game.

I'm surprised how many people haven't heard of Mega Man X. Always interesting to get first impressions from people who aren't familiar with the games.

>>776084
If you're interested, we sometimes have Mega Man generals here in /vr/. I highly recommend playing the sequels on SNES/SFC and PS1. Unfortunately they're pretty pricey now, but still great games and worth emulating if you don't feel like paying the unreasonably high prices. Kind of makes me sad that it's getting harder to collect games these days.

[Anonymous No.783337]

>>783331
I think it's more the unfamiliarity with the Japanese titles. I didn't find out about Rockman long after I knew about Megaman.

Since this thread is actually about scaling filters vs. proper video and Mario World 2 is a clear example of a scaling filter game, I will also put forth that the Kunio-Kun series of games has an art style that is well suited to such scaling filters.
